I wouldn't know about during the fight song -- being in the band, it's a
little hard to hear much of anything (except the trumpets -- I can hear the
trumpets *real* well.)  But we're actually not supposed to yell "BC Sucks"
-- to quote the handbook, "the band does not participate in
unsportsmanlike, derogatory, or profane activity."  So if you hear a faint
echo of "What they said!" after "BC sucks," rest easy, it's just the band...

What you yell depends on who you are: the band yells "eat 'em up, eat 'em
up, go BU!" but a friend of mine told me they yelled "eat 'em up, chew 'em
up"... no one knows what it was originally.

Everything else seems to be general... the "goalie-sieve" thing (or
"Sasquatch-sieve" until this year) and the "overrated" chant on occasion.
 
Of course, since the band has to be "nice" we try to find good things to
yell about the Terriers... listen carefully and you might hear Steve
yelling about the size of Poti's stick...
 
--Go Terriers!
