Title: Ideas for Fixing AFH's game day atmosphere
Post by: ben ji on January 13, 2015, 06:53:53 PM
Watching the hawks take on Tboone Aggie tonight and couldn't help but notice the "Stale" atmosphere at the Field House. The only time the crowd seemed to care was when they started chanting "AIR BALL" each time Forte touched the ball. KU has a great bball tradition on the floor but could really use an upgrade when it comes to getting the crowd involved.

Idea #1

Start a cheer where the Alumni yell "JAY" then the students respond back "HAWKS!". Cheerleaders could hold up signs to really get the old geezer alumni into it. Maybe they could even speed up as they do the chant so it gets going really fast and eventually the crowd just go's absolutely Bananas.

"JAY" "HAWKS" "JAY" "HAWKS" "JAY HAWKS" "JAY HAWKS" "JAYHAWKS!" "JAYHAWKS!!" "JAYHAWKS!!!"

Idea #2

Pick a song, maybe techno, maybe taylor swift. You play this song only 1 time during the game at at time out, when the crowd hears it they turn into a seething mob of lunatics.  I'm talking about 4 year olds fist pumping so hard you are concerned their arm might fall off.

The key is to save the song until your team really needs it. Good times to play it would be when the hawks need a big stop or making a comeback in the 2nd half(LOL, like they would ever be down at home).



Anyone else have any ideas?

The fans are confused by the grotesque amount of red, yellow and blue paint plastered all over the place and think they're in some kind of Oshkosh b'Gosh outlet store or something. The number of midgets ku has employed to play guard has further confused matter.

We could hold public prayer just prior to tip.  The wonders of The Lord are boundless, and their numbers untold:

Garrett said he hadn’t dwelled on the fact he had yet to score in a regular-season game as a Jayhawk. He did score two points against Fort Hays State in exhibition action his junior year.

“I don’t really even think about it,” Garrett said of being blanked until Saturday. “It’s actually funny. You can take it what it is ... Me and Perry (Ellis) pray before every game. Last night we both prayed before the Lord, (and God was) saying he is going to play good, and I was going to score. With those kind of things, you wait and see it play out.

They should replace the 4 million sheets of drywall the used to "remodel" the barn with a building material that absorbs very little sound, like corrugated steel or brass. That would help.

Just imagine your favorite announcers having this conversation.

"Coach weber calls a timeout as the hawks have taken the lead with 6:32 left thanks to a 7-0 run"....."what is that? Is that TSwift signing "shake it off"????" "Wow! This AFH crowd is goimg nuts! Traditions like this are what college bball so much fun"

A group fart for proper aroma.  A group hug then for liberal love spreading.  A group arm flapping and squawking like a dying chicken.  And then 20 shouts of Yuk Yuk for Hooterville Bill.  50 seconds of whining and crying to prepare for the refs.  Finally, all of the airhead women there can yell touchdown.

Then let me lay some 100% true facts on you.  Teddy Roosevelt pronounced the Rock Chalk Chant the "greatest college cheer ever devised." It was used by Kansas troops fighting in the Philippines in 1899, the Boxer Rebellion in China and World War II. At the Olympic games in 1920, the King of Belgium asked for a typical American college yell. The assembled athletes agreed on KU's Rock Chalk and rendered it for His Majesty.

im not gonna let some dead presidents opinion sway me over this issue.  you want some 100% facts laid on you?  guess what happened to that king of belgium, he died.  there is a lot of speculation as to why he died but i would bet it was because that stupid rough ridin' chant sucked the life clean out of him.  i guess we will never know.
