mit women's ultimate

Cheers

It is not uncommon after ultimate games to find opposing teams delivering to each other haiku's, limericks, songs, or otherwise interesting antics.

Some years we end up writing more cheers than others. Some years we forget to save them, or don't remember them. In any case, here is our (only partially complete) archive of cheers.

To: Tufts B @: UNH Casual Huck 2012
Sung to: Call Me Maybe: Hey we just played you
And it was crazy
You hucked it so far
And caught that Frisbee

It's hard to score on
Such great defense
You mark us hard and
Play so intense

We used to have some energy
But you played so hard
But you played so hard
But you played so so hard
(repeat)
To: UCSD Psychos at Centex 2012 (bracket play)
Sung to: The Lazy Song: Today we played you in a Frisbee game (do do do do do do)
And you really blew us away
You kept picking up the disc
Forcing us to take some risks
This was the ultimate Frisbee game

You cut down the field
And hucked it so deep
We tried some zone D
But your O made us weep
Nobody can throw like you can

You jumped so high and laid out on D
When we were open, there you would be
Cuz we couldn't catch up as you ran
Yes we said it, we said it, we said it cuz we can
Psychos played so well in this Frisbee game
It was so fun
To: Rice Torque at Centex 2012
Sung To: "Teenage Dream": Your throws were pretty, forehand and backhand too
On hucks and pulls we just watched how far they flew
Your cuts were awesome and we couldn't chase you down (down)

(Chorus)
As you threw, and caught the disc
Up the field, we ran
We kept trying, to get the D
But then still, you would score again

You make us feel like we're living a Frisbee dream
The way you run it through
We can't breathe
Because you run so fast and so hard so fast and so hard

Our O stops when you get that D
Just one tip
And then a turn there'd be
It's been real
So take a chance and come play us again come play us again
To: UCSD Psychos @ Centex 2012 (pool play)
Tonight, Tonight: It's been a really really fun fun game
Seven on the line, waiting for the pull
And then you go and throw it again
We're running all the time, there's not a single lull
La la la (a cup!) La la la (it's a zone guys!) La la la (you pop!) La la la

We're playing Frisbee today, today
There's an up the line cut and a layout D
Today, Today
And you're trapping so hard we can't hit the dump

I don't know how you caught it
But somehow you still got it
We loved to play, to play, today, today
Woah oh oh (I got it!) Woah oh oh (go deep!) Woah oh oh (UPPPP!!!) woah oh oh
To: Washington University WuWu @ Centex 2012
Sung To: Baby (Justin Beiber) **(we sang this to WuWu from Wash U): Wooooahhh oh (3x)
You know she caught it, you hit that throw
After she dished it, what pretty flow
You hucked it deep, and she layed out
And there will never ever ever be a doubt

That you played awesome, both O and D
You fought hard, oh can't you see
That we thought all your throws were sublime
And your first throw broke the mark for the first time

We were like WuWu, WuWu, WuWu, OHM
Like WuWu, WuWu, WuWu, No
Like WuWu, WuWu, WuWu, OH
We called out from the side line (line)
To: UMass Amherst @ Get Skyyed (Stonehill) 2012
Sung To: Dancing Queen: On your throws you were getting low
Looking round for a place to throw
Then she made a great in-cut, Then you dump and swing
Now you look to the wing

Your receivers jumped to the sky
The game was young and the disc was high
You kept throwing such big hucks
And getting run through Ds
You shut down our O
And that's how we know

You are a Frisbee team
Going deep, playing to thirteen
Frisbee team, you are really living out the dream oh yeah
You can huck, you can bid
And that's why we'd never kid
Ooohh see that pull, watch that scene
Digging your Frisbee team
To: BU Ozone Pilots @ UNH Casual Huck 2012
See You Again: You all know how to run through, and we just have to say
This was a wicked intense, Frisbee game
We knew you were something special when we heard your name
Now we can't wait, to play you again

You have a way of catching, all of your Ds
And your zone really brought us, down onto our knees
Cuz we just couldn't break around you, when you were trapping so hard
Now we can't wait, to play you again

That last time you layed out, caught the disc on the ground
Your sweet bids were what made all your teammates cheer and shout
Now we can barely breath
We used our energy
To quickly get on D
Oh you are such a great team

The next time you lay out
We will redeem ourselves
We will get a big D then
Oh woah woah
We, we just can't wait to play you again.
To: Lady Zoo @: After UMass Amherst 2011
Sung to: "Blowin in the Wind": How many hucks must a Lady Zoo grab before you can call her a man?
How many cuts must get by our defense before we switch to the clam?
Yes, how many marks must your handler break before we change our plan?

The frisbee, my friends, is blowin' in the wind. The frisbee is blowin' in the wind.

To: Anyone @: After UMass Amherst 2011
Sung to: "Afternoon Delight": You hucked and bid and gave a great fight and we had some afternoon delight

To: Yale Beezus @: Yale Cup 2004
Sung to: "This Love" (Maroon 5): I was so tired

The cut coming from behind
The Beezus that controlled the force side

Whispered goodbye

I said, "Hot Damn!" Those Beezus girls got game
Good luck the rest of the weekend

You got the right hucks, clockwork
