First, I thought the Detroit News article was super.  Especially with all
the NBA troubles this week (assaulting refs), its great to read about
people who simply play for the love of the game.
 
This is probably a topic that comes up every few months.  The article
mentioned several Yost cheers that I _know_ I've heard up in Ithaca...

> When a phone rings in the scorer's booth or the press box, they yell,

I know that the Lynah Faithful adopted (stole) some Michigan cheers after
the '91 playoffs.  Specificaly, I'm thinking of the "...aaaaAAAAA SEE YA!"
cheer after an opponent gets whistled for a penalty.  What about the
two examples above.  Did they originate at Cornell or Michigan?  Or are
they originate somewhere else?  Are there other common cheers (except for
the obvious ones like 'sieve')?
