Great Pregame Prep By Student

[Iceberg]

When I came into the game at 3:30, a fellow student handed out sheets will different chants and tactics for the students to use. About 50% of the student body got them and it sure did a good job at making the student body look like it should.

My favorite...when Bennet blocks a shot, everyone just shakes their finger in the air.

kudos to this anonymous student!

[KSUHuggins]

What were some of the others?

[Saulbadguy]

I KNEW IT. Chant sheets.   

[fatty fat fat]

"Just....like....football....when.....we....used...to...be...really....good"

[Saulbadguy]

Can someone scan the chant sheet?

[ednksu]

cheat sheet included NU player's family names
the bring on the cats
bennet's wag
sit down coach chant
holding up fringers for the number of fouls
big 12 refs suck
three blind mice lyrics
clapping at the beginning of the game till we score.

[KSUHuggins]

clapping at the beginning of the game till we score.

No No No No No No No No No No No No No No No!!!!!!! F-ing Xavier does this, anything but that, pleeeeeeease!

[WildCatzPhreak]

clapping at the beginning of the game till we score.

No No No No No No No No No No No No No No No!!!!!!! F-ing Xavier does this, anything but that, pleeeeeeease!

With this team, we could be clapping for damn near 10 minutes straight.

Luckily our lack of offensive ability is completely overshadowed by our lynch mob defense.

[waks]

We did that back in the Ahearn days, that is where it comes from "youngprince."

[catsdo]

A bunch of students went to a focus meeting with the marketing dept. and put the sheet together.

Big 12 refs suck...dumbest cheer in the history of college basketball.

Singing 3 blind mice is possibly dumber.

Agreed. Why can't we shout out profanities like all the elite schools?

[ksuno1stunner]

First time I have witnessed the "Bring on the Cats" cheer.  I thought it was awesome.

[ksu_FAN]

By far the best and most organized the student section has been in years.  Great job by the students.  I especially liked the "who's he" etc. signs while NU's starters were announced.  Overall the pregame was very well done in the 10 minutes leading up to tip off.  I wasn't sold how much organizing things would work, but after this game and the job the students did I was impressed.  Hopefully it keeps going the rest of the season.

I don't like this cheer, but the better option is to do this till the other team scores. It puts the pressure on their team with the type of tough defense that we play.

I watched the Missouri game prior to KSU coming on TV.  Anything is better than their:

"Hey-hey. Ho-ho.  Get that ball and go"

or

"M-I-Z-Z-O-U"

My thinking is that's about as sophistacated as their student body can get.

We used to just do "You Fuqed Up" instead....not sure why that was dropped.

[RonLongshaft]

i wasnt there real early but i didnt know this went on. good idea though

[slucat]

The students were good.
They should do the K-S-U-clap, K-S-U-clap at the end of the game, last minute or so of a win.  A few years ago when we play the chickens close, we did it to drown out the Rock-Chalk...worked pretty well, thought we should do it at the end of every game.

OK I know I am a stupid ku fan and you all probably hate me already, but I do enjoy reading things on this board usually. However, this thread just makes me laugh, I mean you actually need chant sheets at a game? Your football stadium is awesome during games and I don't see anyone holding sheets! I guess it is a proactive way of getting the students involved in the game, but I still find it quite sad. Am I wrong?

[michigancat]

He's right. These things build with wins.

[michigancat]

I agree, the whole idea is lame.

[jsstuber]

One thing that drives me nuts is the stupid t-shirts being thrown out during the game.  There is a game going on and an entire section is more concerned with a t-shirt.  I really wish they would stop and wait until a time out.

[icatmember]

Yeah, I'm not that crazy about the sheets. Kind of just gives our &@#%tarded students more ways to screw things up. Such as starting to chant a Nebraska players moms name right once we're about to shoot a free throw. But I don't think the idea of a sheet is that sad overall though. When done properly it puts the entire student section on the same page, such as at Duke.

I agree. And Rusty, pretty much everything about being a "fan" is lame when you look at it from an outsiders perspective.

Well, cheer sheets w/ "3 blind mice" lyrics and "na na na na hey hey hey goodbye" songs are lamer.

[Dan Rydell]

I'm good with whatever it takes to get more people involved. 

Saturday was fun.  Whatever it takes to maintain that spirit, I'm all for it.

the "goodbye song" was impromptu, it wasn't on the sheet. However, the fact that any college student thought chanting the song 3 blind mice would be clever and cool is beyond belief. Give me good old fashion bull crap chants anyday.
