Could use a little spicing up, no? Pretty boring if you ask me. Totally takes the energy out of the OOD.

I propose we shout "rock-CATS! red glare," only just shouting CATS! You get it. Hockey teams do this with different parts of the national anthem and it's great and hilarious. The Stars emphasize "STARS!" and the Red Wings emphasize "RED." I'm not married to this idea, but gosh, I can't get over how boring that part of pregame is, so let's just steal Dallas's idea.

How dare you two dishonor a sacred, holy song that should be respected every bit as much the 3,432nd time you've heard it at a sporting event as you did the first?

YOU WILL NEVER DO ENOUGH HONORING THE SACRIFICE OF THOSE WHO DIED SO WE COULD WATCH BASKETYHOOPS!

So are we behind this? Is this happening?

I thought about doing it last night but Vince Gibson (Gipson?) died and thought it would be inappropriate.

While we're at it, why don't we wear hats during the afternoon and replace all the toilet paper in Bramlage with US Flags. You people make me sick.

i'm going to start wearing a purple hard hat to the games to signify all of the new construction taking place at ground zero in nyc and at the bball hoops facility and the west side expansion.

I like rock-CATS. I mean, it's really only one vowel sound you change, and it helps to show your love for EMAW without disrespecting the U.S. of A. Let's be honest though, most of us love EMAWrica as much or more than America anyway.

But instead of that we should say "donserly" to make it sound more like the original.

do you guys think that kelly clarkson will come sing the national anthem at a cats game if i ask her to? she's doing it for the super bowl too.

i will email her and ask if you think she will.

the KHAN! · « **Reply #21 on:** January 12, 2012, 03:41:18 PM »

I would prefer Rock CATS red glare to "home of the CHIEFS!"

I would still choke you out for doing it though.
