PrintAlright. You guys want super awesome cheers for Nova, let's do it. Post them in the comments here and I'll make sure they get passed on the the Committee in Hoya Blue who makes them. Keep in mind that we can't print anything super offensive, although I would encourage those to be posted anyway since they're awesome. Make sure they're feasible for large amounts of people to catch onto (nothing super long) and if you have specific times for when they should happen, include those too. Prize for best cheer TBD.
Stay Casual, my friends.

You Miss Scottie clap clap clapclapclap
or a variant, for whenever a ‘nova player misses a terrible shot "you ain’t scottie"
i’d also enjoy a back and forth of “hey jay” “NICE SUIT!” but that’s a little too insider-y to really catch on. but it’d be awesome.
it’d also be awesome to chant “the hawk will never die!” to make fun of villanova losing to st joe’s (their philly rival and that’s their chant). perhaps the hoya will never die? perhaps “we want…ST JOE’S!”
will try to come up with more/better. thanks.

on the theme of no more scottie
Where’s your Scottie gone?
(Where’s your Scottie gone?)
Where’s your Scottie gone?
(Where’s your Scottie gone?)
Not the NBA
Not the NBA
(assuming that is still the case)
To the theme of Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep. British classic from the 70s that has oft been used for soccer chants (not sure it it’s every made it over here). My one reservation is the original lyric is along the lines of “where’s your mamma/father gone”, and could be considered offensive given his personal circumstances. However, with the lyric change, it would probably be OK.
Hammer of the Cuse
More for the cheer sheets
“N-I-T! Ooops! Nooo-thing! Noooo-thing!”
They lost to California powerhouse Santa Clara.
Santa Clara! clapclapCLAPCLAPCLAP.
Maalik Wayns is their leading scorer. He also wants to be a broadcaster when he graduates.
“Hey, great basket, Maalik. Too bad your team stinks”
“Damon’s better!”
Wayns is day-to-day
According to Nova Blog. ACL issue.

Towards the end of the game
NOT OUR RIVAL clapclapCLAPCLAPCLAP
Anything for Devonta Pollard
devon-ta-poll-ard clapclapCLAPCLAPCLAP
come-to-george-town clapclapCLAPCLAPCLAP
Need to show him some love. Would be a huge recruit. (assuming he’s still coming to the game).
I definitely agree
he would be a huge recruit, but as a student group who makes the cheer sheets would it be a recruiting violation to do so? As individuals I know we could start the chant, but getting people who don’t follow recruiting to know what the hell we’re saying may be more challenging. If its not then by all means, we’ll do it. Does someone know if this would be a violation?

It's not a violation
Also, if Nerlens Noel is going to be there, include him too (he’s the one with the flat top)
If you really want to play it safe
Could just have a generic line on the cheer sheets like “if a recruit is in the arena, show him some love!” And then maybe a sign or something to tell everyone that Pollard is around and who he is (hell, you could even write it on the back of a more entertaining sign so that the student section sees it), given context by the line on the cheer sheet. And anyone could hold said sign, not necessarily as a member of a student group.

It's more likely than not a violation
HB meets the definition of a booster under the NCAA bylaws (13.02.11 “Have participated in or to be a member of an agency or organization promoting the institution’s intercollegiate athletics program”). Further, current students are also classified as boosters.
I’m not going to look up what the exact rule on contact with a recruit is, but it’s usually bad if you’re not the coach or compliance staff, right? So let’s not put explicit links to recruits names, etc.
Joined the site just to comment on this
and i’m going all-in on my name.
I am def not an expert, but I just don’t see how it could be a violation. Other school’s fans go crazy for prospects on twitter. That seems like way more direct contact than chanting someone’s name at a game.
Bringing in top talent and winning games in March will cure any attendance issues. If we’re trying to get more organized, we should be doing everything we can (within the rules) to get prospects to come to Gtown.

It's one of those things that's technically a violation but cannot be policed
If the Administration encourages it it’s a big no no and if they know of it they’re supposed to stop it. But no one is ever going to be punished for tweeting recruits or for chanting their names at games.

i'm sure we'll have some additional casual offerings as the game gets closer
when do these ‘cheer sheets’ get finalized?
Casually.
Wednesday before the game
should give us enough time to change, format, and get them printed.

Two best cheers in my four years
“Where’s my Lap-top” clap, clap, clap clap clap
“Where’s my Lap-top” clap, clap, clap clap clap
…when A.J. Prince was shooting foul shots.
And
“He beats girls! He beats girls!”
…anytime Devendorf did… anything.
That’s the problem with the cheer sheets… the best ones can never be printed. And that’s not Hoya Blue’s fault.
Also, when the PA announcer was dumb enough to play Rock n Roll pt 2, everyone would scream “HEY, ’CUSE SUCKS,” regardless of who we were playing. At least, I did.

yup
those are my top 3 as well.
I still tell my family and friends in CT about the “Where’s my laptop?!” chant, and even UCONN fans admit it’s funny
"I don't know. I'm making this up as I go."
"That’s the problem with the cheer sheets… the best ones can never be printed. And that’s not Hoya Blue’s fault."
Or you can print a sheet with a crudely-photoshopped image of the ND leprechaun smoking a joint after Kyle McAlarney got arrested. That usually goes over well.
I also believe someone found a picture of Pittsnogle’s wedding (from his Facebook page) and placed it on a cheersheet. Didn’t the Duke 06 sheet have JJ Reddick’s awful raps as well?
—
You can do a decent amount with some effort. Crowdsourcing these are a good idea.
JJ's poetry was definitely on the Duke sheet in 2006
What are these assertions!?

One of my favorites
was from when we played Oral Roberts a few years ago and the students chanted
“That’s not Christian” clap clap clapclapclap
"These dudes are good" - Hoya2Pacer on this years team
ALL ABOARD!!

Best chant - 1996
Kerry Kittles, for Villanova, was suspended for doing something involving phone calls (yes, before cell phones – the Dark Times).
Georgetown blew them out, 106-68.
At the end, students chanted “Know the Code! Know the Code!” (a 1-800-CALL-ATT ad slogan).
The lesson? I’m old.
Most of ours from my era can't be used today
After a bad call: “The ref beats his wife.”
Technical problems: “Cap Center Sucks”
Syracuse player shoots freethrows: “Fudgepacker” (And yes, I had openly gay/lesbian/bi friends that joined in this chant with gusto)
Although, now I suppose chanting “Laurie Fine” is fair game in the BET.
