For Jim's A Jolly Good Fellow Cheer

Submitted by GeraldFord48 on November 2nd, 2023 at 8:04 AM

My MGoDad and I were talking and thinking of ways to show support for Jim through all of this. We live out of state and sadly will not be attending the Purdue game in person. For any of you who are going, how about starting a "For Jim's a Jolly Good Fellow" chant? Maybe when the team first gets the ball on offense? Seems like it might be a fun way to show support for Coach.

This happening organically could be tough.  However, the DJ could play a key role in getting it going - and, the message boards could post the lyrics so the stadium goes along in unison.

Is that something we even have input to?

Night game, so organic options are limited.

F*ck Ohio can be done and will happen.

F*ck Pete Thamel could organically flow out of that, when it starts dying. Wonder if NBC would pick it up and let it get broadcast a bit—rival network.

I like this idea...fun, unique, wholesome, and would almost certainly be appreciated if it was heard on the field.  But it's still, fuck Connor Stalions.

How about you perform Abbott and Costello's famous "Who's on first" skit?

Here are the key lines:

You: Now who's playing third base?
Your dad: Why do you insist on putting Who on third base?
You: What am I putting on third.
Your dad: No. What is on second.
You: You don't want who on second?
Your dad: Who is on first.
You: I don't know.

Whole crowd: Third base!

Have you considered streaking, but with a loin cloth that says "Harbaugh for President"? I think everyone would firmly know who's side you're on.

Without blowing my cover at this point and time.  If you hear a chant saying,"for he's a jolly good fellow, and HAR-BAUGH from my section then everyone in here will know who the real,"BoCanHam" is in real life without his cape!

BE SAFE the rest of the week, and as always

GO BLUE

I hope he goes on his halftime walkout interview: hey steal this: and flips the bird. This is a flimsily-guised media attack on UM. What have we found? What evidence do we have other than that beyond stupid photo circulating on ESPN. This is soooooooo embarrassing for them imo. What’s the story? Where’s the evidence? I certainly hope the ncaa is discovering stuff (they aren’t). So we have an accusation and everyone just ran with it - with absolutely nothing. They’d have spilled their hand if there was one. There isn’t. And here we are. Point of the whole thing. Try to knock off UM without actually playing. Sucks that the game is still happening. There are NO excuses now (you’ll make them up anyways) but seriously….you switched up your signs so no excuses anymore. You should have used this against UM. Call the opposite signs. Anything sporty short of calling for mom. Oh yea, and we still have NOTHING to talk about this like everyone is: no doubt Michigan was stealing signs. Oh yea? I must have missed the actual journalism there where they had data and research. Oh, you didn’t see the photo? The wannabe Zapruder photo. Just…please stop with the idiocy.

Let’s not get ahead of ourselves - how about a “Beat” (from half the stadium) - followed by “Penn State” ( from the other half).

Years ago, the Stadium would split during the penultimate regular season game - with “Beat”.. “Ohio”.

And, your cheer can be applied at the end of November.   FWIW - I think we'll hear that cheer on November 25th from the student section anyway.

Just one man's opinion, but this sounds dumb. Plus I don't think a Michigan crowd showing support really changes anything, there's no reason for anyone to believe that Michigan's fans don't support Harbaugh so you're not really stating anything but the obvious
