Your best Ref digs...

Hey all,

was at tDECC over the weekend to see the fine product that Daddy Shep is putting on the ice. As usual, the refs sucked and the fans and players payed the price. But, I did get to hear the students bring out and dust off that old-time favorite - "The ref beats his wife!!!"... brought me back to a different non-PC time. So I ask this:

What are the best all-time chants aimed at the officiating???

Stev

P.S. I remember when the organ player at tDECC would play "three blind mice" when the refs blew a call. That was the best!!!!
 
Re: Your best Ref digs...

I really like the ref part of the beer song that the Tech student section sings! :D
 
Re: Your best Ref digs...

A Minnesota trombone always plays a snippet of "If I only had a brain." whenever the officials skate out, originally followed by a sousaphone playing three descending tones a la "Three Blind Mice". Now, the sousaphone plays four.

It wasn't a chant, but I laughed until I cried when Goldy once came out onto the ice after the Zambonis left during the second intermission with a ref shirt on, his head on backwards, and using his stick as a cane. Goldy was promptly suspended by the WCHA.

That's a shame. I mean, it's funny and clever! Although I guess they probably weren't so worried about it being insensitive to refs as much as insensitive to blind people, but they wouldn't see it.

:eek:
 
Re: Your best Ref digs...

The one where the refs point and laugh at the student section because a majority of the students don't know their *** from a hole in the ground when it comes to hockey :rolleyes:
 
Re: Your best Ref digs...

Not a chant, but I had a couple drinks bought for me by some certain refs when I held up a whiteboard:

Hey (ref): trade a Corona for a win!


(ref) refs better than he plays darts!


Calls: A-
Positioning: A
Skating: B+ (with a bonus yelling at me: "What's with the B+?!")


:)
 
Re: Your best Ref digs...

The Cornell pep band used to play "Three Blind Mice" every time the refs came out for each period. They stopped it because someone felt it would swing calls against us by ******ing off the refs.

My favorite thing to yell is "What's the matter, (name)? Your seeing eye dog can't skate?"
 
Re: Your best Ref digs...

(to the tune of Clementine)
Who's your father, who's your father,
Who's your father referee?
You don't know him, you don't have one,
You're a B****** referee!
 
Re: Your best Ref digs...

The Maine pep band plays the "smiling bob" theme from the enzyte commercials when the refs skate out onto the ice.
 
Re: Your best Ref digs...

I have never found the "ref beats his wife" creative or funny. It's actually pretty disgusting. I realize it's all in good fun, but you obviously don't get it if you actually chant that.
 
Re: Your best Ref digs...

Zebra, zebra, short and stout!
Find your head and pull it out!

I've got a rope!
I've got a tree!
All we need is a referee!

Couple good ones from tMisfits

Also, if it's a delayed penalty you can always do the:
"Hey Ref, (More effective if you know the ref's name), raise your hand if you're gay!"

Or...

Hey Ref! Does your boyfriend know you're screwing us too?!
 
Re: Your best Ref digs...

I remember hearing this one at Yost Arena in Ann Arbor when they still had the old press box. They had a phone that occasionally rang very loudly and it could easily be heard with a lull in the crowd noise. The students would then yell "hey ref...it's for you. It's your mother. She says you still suck."
 
Re: Your best Ref digs...

My mind wanders back to my undergrad days, when Cornell fans didn't have much to cheer for, but plenty to cheer against. Short, simple, and to the point:

The ref Fs sheep!
The ref Fs sheep!

1000+ students in unison - quite an amazing sight...
