Have the students shake their keys on third down....wait a minute.
can i ask a question?
what is the jug of root beer for?
Please, no newspapers while opponent is introduced. Have seen too much of that with KU.
Chants are good, but don't go overboard like we saw at NC State two years ago where they had a "cheer master" priming the students before the game and handing out cheer sheets. Sad.
-Dress like it's Halloween for every game. Kind of like our own Orange version of the black hole. That should intimidate people
I agree with you in general, but at NC State it came off as more manufactured than with much emotion.Agree on Kansas.
Disagree on NC State. I think unique chants - targeted at specific players/schools - can really get inside the heads of opponents way more than "Let's Go Orange!" or "Defense!"
Not saying it always works as we obviously beat NC State, but custom chants definitely have the potential to be an advantage.
Plus, they're often funny/entertaining for the home fans and TV audience.
Somebody needs to bring "The Hey Song" back! It belongs in Syracuse, along with rasta man. My one wish for this season is to bring back Rasta Man and the hey song for the Duke game.
Don't know why it was banned, I remember it being "hey you suck". But I didn't start going to a lot of games until '99, and I wasn't ever in the student section. Although I do remember they'd be chanting things while that song was playing. I vaguely remember the lyrics you just said. You are bringing back memories lol!Did the students always chant "F 'em um, F 'em up, Go SU... We're gonna kick the outta you!" or was that added later on?
I remember the song from my days as a student in the early 90's, but do not remember chanting that.
And couldn't a creative student come up with more appropriate lyrics that still convey the same message?
"Mess 'em up, Mess 'em up, GO SU... We're gonna beat the hell outta you!"
There, done.
I'm not offended by language at all, but could see why the school would want to shut it down with the expletives above.
It'd be great to bring the song back... I just think the school needs to be more proactive rather than reactive.
Someone please get on this ASAP.

No more spirit fingers????For the love of god please stop doing the thing where everyone raises their arms and pedals their fingers when one of our players is shooting ft's. Probably my least favorite tradition in all of sports.
Shut up! Those spirit fingers work! (Except when they don't.)No more spirit fingers????
I also think for each team, they should stick to a certain theme for posters and big heads. For example, when Duke plays, make posters of the Coach K meme (there are a bunch of them).
