I have to admit I have always thought the automatic sieve cheer at BU was
bush for the same reasons cited by others regarding Wisconsin.  One
variation at BU which is clever, however, is the sign which hangs above
the goalie at one end of the Walter Brown Arena.  It designates the
player below as "goalie" or "sieve" depending on the period in question.
