    Nice cheer but usually a candlelight dinner, some soft music, and
    dimming the lights is a more successful approach.
    
    Let me know, though, if you Techsters have had some luck with
    this approach.  Hey, I can deal with it if it works.

    I haven't seen any unusually strange-looking characters around lately. 
    And it's still too early for tourists.  How can you identify these critters?
    Do Georgians travel by haywagon or by stockcar?  8^D

Awright, awright, enough already. 8^)

When I was at Tech (late 60's), there were approximately 8,000 students. Only
100-200 were female.  So, when the cheer originated, there were lots and lots
of horny Tech students.  It was meant only as a signal to true Tech fans
(i.e., if you ain't been to Tech, it don't mean nothing to ya). By the way,
is this what you guys do for a living, read the sports notes file?  I know
it's in Riggen's job description. Come on, Jeff, get your two cents in quick. 

Here's another one for you:

Tangent, secant, cosine, sine,
Three point one four one five nine,
Convergent series, Poisson's Brackets,
Dis-integrate them, Yellow Jackets.

    Do Techsters travel on Dawgs?

My dad used to race modifieds a long time ago, and to me, there's
nothin' like a Friday night at the track, with a few beers, some 
brutal bumping going on the in the corners, and some bodacious
ta-tas to watch in between races.

    I thought the favorite Rice cheer (as explained to me by a Rice
    alumnus), was
    
    		"Our band's better than your band!"
    Another that he said was quite popular, usually started late in the
    fourth quarter, was
    
    "We Scored!" (sometimes "We Scored Last!")
    
    or
    
    "There goes the shutout!"
    
    8*)

    re .12
    
    NAh .... our favorites at the end was :
    
    
    "We won the toss !" or "Our players graduate !"
    
    And after a Rice turnover (which happened pretty often), there was,
    "Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww S--T !!!! GOD__MM !!! F--K !! SonOfAB--CH !!!
    
    (Abashed) Gee Wally .... Hi Mom !"
    
    dem was the days ....

    I went to a fairly rough high school.  One of the favorite cheers
    of the time was:	"Shut up!  You're ugly!".  
    
    Claybone

    When at St. Johns (S), we had a field day with some of the opponents 
    like "Lemonsta", "Shoesbury", and "Woosta".
    
    Everyone on our side would be rollin' just copying "Lemonsta's" cheers,
    complete with accents! ;-)

    sorry Slasha, forgot you live in Lemonsta

    This was a funny one from a comedian whose inner city cheerleaders

    Jimbo

    When I was in high school we were killing some school like 42-0 in
    football when their cheerleaders started going "We got spirit, yes we
    do, we got spirit how 'bout you." Then our cheerleaders yelled "So What
    we're kicking your *ss!" I was roooolliinnngg. I guess they had been
    waiting all week to try that one out.

	The gagnouncers will probably open up by telling us all about 
`That Sinderfella team, that Lethal Weapon 3 that all America has clutched to
it's bosoms (or ta tas [ or hooters ] as the case may be). The upstart
underdogs (or underbitches, as the case may be) that we're all rooting for.

    Last August my brother-in-law (who lives in Atlanta and works for
    Grace) gave a sweatshirt to my son (Jesse age 2).. FROM Georgia Tech!!!
    
    You can bet your sweet buns that when they win it all he will be
    wearing it for everyone to see!!!
    
    Proud Daddy..

Leave it to MrT to suggest that a bad call by the refs was the result
of a pay-off.  Give us a break, will ya?  And you wonder why your
credibility is lower than a snakes belly around these parts ...

Credit Jud & Smith from Michigan State with having the class to not blame
the refs for the loss.  Credit MrT with ridiculous accusations and
classless sour grapes.

    
>    Final Four trivia:

Tech played some great ball to get to the Final 4.  They were as deserving
as anybody.  If you want to look for injustices, try on the fact that they
were seeded fourth in (arguably) the toughest region and forced to play in 
the backyard of their first opponent, despite being ranked in the Top 10, 
winning the ACC Tournament, and being undefeated outside the ACC.  All in 
all, I'd say they were a pretty deserving finalist.  The fact that Michigan 
State didn't get the call at the end of the game was a tough break, but don't 
lose sight of the fact that a) The Big 10's best and #1 seed couldn't put 
away the ACC's 2nd or 3rd best and #4 seed (hah!) in regulation; b) M-State 
coulda taken matters into their own hands by having their best player make a 
free throw; and c) M-State still could've won the game in overtime.

No, nor should they.  The Jackets should be proud of their season and the
only people clammering for an asterisk are the classless Big10 Bigots.

100% ridiculous and absurd.

    Hey ACC_Chris....
    
    Mr. T is just sore cuz there was a bad call against the only BigTen
    team that had a shot at winning the tourny that Mr. T himself claims he
    could care less about. Of course, he wasn't whining last year when
    Michigan got that lame foul call on Rumeal that gave them the
    Champeenship.
    
    Translation...Mr. T is a first class hypocrite.

    MSU did take the matters into their own hands by putting just enough
    pressure on Tech so they couldn't get off a shot before the buzzer, yet
    not committing a foul. It worked perfectly except for the fact that 
    Anderson was permitted to shoot very obviously after the buzzer. Then
    one clown tried to give them the game right there by calling it a
    3-pointer. That too, was not a close call. He was obviously over the
    line. Right then I gave MSU no chance in OT. If they were going to rob
    MSU that badly in regulation, there is no way they were going to be
    allowed to win in OT. 
    
    Free throws are not a given. That's why they shoot them instead of just
    chalking up a point. The fact remains that MSU stopped Tech from
    scoring and won the game only to get screwed.

    Sounds to me like a nice way of saying their star chocked at the free 
    throw line.
    
    > It worked perfectly except for the fact that ...
    
    Yup, worked to perfection.  That's why Michigan State got to go home
    after the game and Tech went on to the Final 4.

    What a load this line is.  No way "they" were going to let [let them
    win].  Gimme a break Hoot, you can't believe this.  The only possible
    defense you can give is that the refs made blattant pro-Tech calls in
    the OT, which they didn't.

    No, that's a fack.  The FACT is that Tech won the game and went to the
    Final 4, while the Big 10 champs didn't even make the Final 8.

    re: Hoot
    
    	Hoot, are you going to tell me that you were watching Anderson's
    feet when he took that shot?  If you say yes, then you were the
    only 3 (2 of the 3 officials) who were watching that.  And if you
    were watching his feet, how do you know the shot was late?  You
    know, that is one of the reasons they have 3 officials...so they
    can help each other and cover the court properly!
    
    	What few people realize is that the trail(ref) is responsible for
    calling a shot good at the end of the game.  The lead and the other
    off official will help if it is close.  Usually they will focus
    on the 3 pt line and give the trail as much help as the needs.
    The call was made correctly whether you want to believe it or not.
    
    	The trail was told by the other two officials that the shot
    was only a 2 pointer and that was an amazing call given that it
    took slow motion and a couple of camera angles to show that anderson's
    foot was indeed touching the line.
    
    	State's problem was that they missed the 1 and 1 that would
    of put the game away, plus they let Anderson dribble 60 feet without
    making him give up the ball.  Don't blame the ref's for a call that
    MSU could of avoided by hitting their foul shots and preventing
    a guy from getting a shot off with time running out.
