        Worse than "The ref f*cks sheep!"?  Or even "Harvard sucks!"?
I have a hard time imagining Cornell hockey or football without the
"Screw BU" cheer.  But then 1) alums often show disbelief at the
changes made after they're gone and 2) I'm a little offended by the
concept that the AD can "tell" fans, students, or even the band (I
assume "Screw BU" would be eliminated by not allowing the band to play
it.), what they can and can't cheer at all.
