So the intro didn't suck

[icatmember]

I know it's a day old, but it seemed that the intro for the Chicago State game was almost excellent, at least compared to the crap we were subjected to earlier in the season. I liked the whole guitar thing and and the lack of some a-hole singing about coming inside to see the show, to people who had already paid for a ticket were currently inside the building.

[Pike]

Eh...I missed it. There was a clusterphuck of traffic and I got in right at the tip off.

[ksu_FAN]

I missed the intro last night, but they got rid of Karn Evil #9 for the Tech and Baylor games as well.  Good move.  Did "Bring on the Cats" go any better last night?

I don't recall hearing bring on the cats at all..

[Saulbadguy]

They should bury "bring on the cats" forever.

[lynchmb1029]

They tried "Bring on the Cats" again.....worse reception than before. Id be surprised if we hear it on Saturday.

Trying to remanufacture old traditions that weren't really all that cool to begin with is so much lamer than letting new ones happen spontaneously and grow.

Bring on the cats does not strike me as something that could be chanted all at the same time easily.  Maybe just loudly chanting K-S-U K-S-U or Let's go state would get more people involved.  And let our opponents know who they are playing.

True.  If someone posted that on GP though they might be banned.  Funny how we never have numerous threads about bringing back all those old traditions from the student section in football.

[pissclams]

What about that great techno song from the early 90's that we all jam to before the game? Can we bury that with our Haddaway collection?

A couple from my parents' days I'd like to bring back:

1)  Throwing coolers of beer over the fence before the game, throwing empty coolers over the fence after the game.
2)  Find the fattest opposing fan wearing a hat, sneak up behind them, steal the hat, and run away.  <---Totally classless


I wish somebody would have brought up the "Bring on the Cats" thing when I was in school.  Tony Kitt deserved a good intro cheer.

Remember when we used to clap until we scored our first bucket?  I remember clapping a long time during some of those Asbury games.  That was fun, and one that hasn't been brought up in any "tradition" threads.

[pissclams]

We were doing Bring on the Cats during Altman's days, and I thought a little during Asbury too.  Never any big production but a few of us clapped and repeatedly said Bring On The Cats

It's happening because of the GoPowertards and the people that haven't been to a basketball game since the Ahearn days.  The "big deal" and "who cares" signs are pretty lame as well. They may have been cool in the 70's and 80's, but "&@#% you" and "he sucks" would be much more appropriate.

Yeah, maybe that would be okay now, but back in the Asbury days it was almost painful how long we had to clap. I'd buy a hot dog before tipoff, and it'd be cold by the time we could stop clapping and sit down.

i liked stomping on bleachers in ahearn.  until someone brings back stompable bleachers, i´m against all other retrotradition revivals.

[chum1]

Don't knock things that were cool back in the day.  Those old basketball crowds were way rowdier and crazier than any of the football crowds during the Snyder era.

Bring on the KATS

I threw in my support. 

Let the students start their own stuff.  With the gap in success for KSU BB its silly to expect a lot of this stuff to come back.

Didn't we stand up and  sing a melody while clapping too? It seems like hardly anyone remembers that. Of course, the student section didn't stand up the whole game back then so it was more obvious than it would be today

I was never in the student section when it didn't stand.  Now there were games when large sections would sit b/c it was so bad on the court, but most stood.  I was even one of those weird guys that stood through timeouts b/c I was a "real fan".

[jmlynch1]

No, I wasn't either. I do remember a ku game once when I was like 7-8, and it took us forever to score and  my Dad turned to me and said that they're going to stand the whole game. Do you remember the song, anyone?

[Saulbadguy]

Sweet.  I have FAN and "Ballplayers" in my corner.  Success is guaranteed, now.

[ksu_FAN]

Not really guaranteed.  BP has been bashed before and almost left GP and people really don't care about my posts over there.  Of course they probably don't care here either.

[chum1]

So, if people want BP here, it would be a good idea to start bashing him there?

[Saulbadguy]

If GPC had a personal messaging system, i'd send him a PM with a link.

[ksu_FAN]

Why don't you try that MyFanPage buddy deal?  I haven't really done anything with that.

[michigancat]

[email protected]

I still haven't emailed him.

[michigancat]

Also, if someone wouldn't mind copying and pasting that thread once it dies down, I'd appreciate it.  I can always use a good laugh, and I don't think it's "preumium".
