War Chant

[Downtown Shocker Brown]

For all the opinions of new traditions and such, I hope we don't drop Dudley Do Right.

I miss the REAL LOW BRASS cheer from the 80's ,,,,,, oops might be showin my age a bit lol

[SubGod22]

Well i also like the idea of following it up with the Warriors come out to Play taunt from the "Warriors" movie ,, only inserting the opposing teams mascot as instead of "Warriors" as in Bluejay's come out and Play yay FWIW

That one I'm not familiar with but I'm intrigued.

[SubGod22]

Well that sucks. There's no way we could use our colors like that.

You don't want the arena chanting black power?

[OTR Shockfan]

All I'm seeing is a red X; is it only me? What am I missing? Would I "like it a lot?"

Any students on this forum want to help me or take charge in getting the student section to start chanting the "You don't want to go to War with the Shockers" chant that the band does. I am not the most assertive person or the best salesman so any help would be appreciated.

I am not a student, but ....

When I attended A&M, there was not a single student, who did not know the words to all yells (not cheers in Aggie land) and the Aggie War Hymn. Additionally, most all non-student fans knew the words as well. Maybe some of the foreign students did not know the words.

If the season ticket holders were taught the words to cheers (yells), then the noise would be deafening provided they joined in the cheers.

It would be cool, if each cheer leader was assigned to lead a section, when cheers were exhorted. Instead the cheer leaders are all bunched up in front of the student section.

So here is my suggestion as follows:
1. Motivate all fans to learn cheers - students and non-students
2. Teach the cheer words to all fans. Hand-outs, video board, signs, p.a. system etc. It will take awhile.
3. Pre-game practice cheers
4. Lead all fans in cheers
5. Keep it simple.
6. Take one bite out of the elephant at a time.

An aside: If you are ever in College Station on a Friday night, before a football game, experience midnight yell practice. At the last midnight yell practice, which I attended, there were over 40,000 student and non-student fans in the stands.

Does it matter the fact that the average age of season ticket holders is 114? Don't get me wrong - I love their money, their dedication, their money, their money, - did I mention their money>
I can't see them doing it, but if the war chant thing gains traction, I'll be yelling it. (I am only 89).

You all do realize that those "Warriors" when they were taunted to come out to play, actually went on and kicked ass against every single other gang in the entire city of New York in one single night?

Just for transparency one of those girls is Paris "Fire Crotch" Hilton and the other is Lindsay "Sure I will put that in me" Lohan. Now how sexy are they?

Actually they ( Warriors) had allready kicked everybody's azz's by the time this taunt happened,, they dint even have to lift a finger in the end the Riffs showed up. But since the Warriors were so bad azz, we could chant instead of taunt "Shockers come out and play !" three times before each half just before the hand clapping for defence ????

You need to adjust your computer settings or get off of the work computer. I promise that you will enjoy it.

Another popular song that bands play now is the White Stripe's Seven Nation Army. With its Wichita reference and talking about working the straw, you'd think this would be an absolute no-brainer for the band to do. The student section could incorporate it, with emphasis on "Wichita" when it's played.

This was brought up a couple YEARS ago. Why it wasn't done then is beyond me.
