>hear the "Sieve...Funnel...Vacuum...Black Hole...etc." cheer anymore, and I Regarding this cheer- does anyone out there know where it originated? I know it has a 'cute' ring to it, but I had never heard it before moving east five and a half years ago, and it's just never really made sense to me. Back in the mid-west, the absolute worst thing one could call a goalie is a funnel (which not only lets all pucks through like a sieve, but also re-directs those which would have missed), and vacuum was on occasion used as a complimentary term for a tender who was, in essence, sucking in all available pucks, to himself, not the net... Any historians out there? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Joel Graber Michigan Tech '87 Let's go Tech!!!
