I haven't attended a lot of WSU baseball games, but if we had at least a section, with a number of students, who did some organized cheers or such, it would be a good thing.
Just because baseball hasn't traditionally been a sport with lots of cheering, making it one at the college level could improve atmosphere, fan interest and student attendance.
I think FSU does it a little too much, though. If it were mostly situational instead of random (which was the impression I got from watching on TV), it would be more effective, IMO.

WSU had the crazy bat guy this year. He didn't last to long before he was escorted out. After watching the super, he failed probably because he didn't have cool name like Mongo, bongo, dongo and he didn't have a WSU helmet with horns.
Anything that makes college baseball more popular is (probably) a good idea; if FSU fans enjoy "Mongo" then more power to them.
What I disliked was the seemingly random nature of their noise; it seemed like they were making noise just for the sake of making noise. I prefer, for example, Shocker fans' "Ball Three", "Ball Four", "Ball Five", etc. chants when the other pitcher is having control problems.

I couldn't agree more with this statement, if it helps promote college baseall in anyway that great. I for one am fine with just plain old loud cheering in big moments or when something great happpens. I mean Eck was as loud as any college stadium last year when the final out was recorded against Arizona or when THill tied the game v Irvine and that is raw pure emotion which can't be beat by any kind of organized cheering. I wouldn't like the distraction of someone running around and having to watch him/her for my que of when to do my part of the given cheer, I like to keep all my focus to what is going on, on the field. I am a geek however and I love to watch all the little things going on, I like to see if I can figure out the indicator/signs of the coaches, how the pitcher grips the ball and if he has any tipping points as to what pitch is coming, etc..
