Message: [QUOTE="Scooch, post: 3910978, member: 628"] I don’t know the history, but I do know that the band is always trying things. They introduced some new first down songs when the Babers era started, purposefully played fast with a chant at the end, because the O was supposed to run so quickly. Guess what? The fans didn’t even pretend to participate in the chant. Entirely predictable. When I was in school we had those huge signs for basketball player introductions. “Who’s he?”, “So what?!”, those things. We literally ran around the Dome with them and pointed them at the crowd as the intros occurred. Most of the time maybe 10-20% of the crowd participated. Apparently this was a cool tradition at Manley, but it was largely faded by the 90s in the Dome. It’s a real sore spot for me, clearly. It’s sad that the pro sports teams I follow have more in-game fan traditions than my Alma mater. [/QUOTE]
