Chant Sheets

[Duke Blue Blood]

Lots of negativity on the students and quite frankly well deserved.

What I want to know is if they pass out chant sheets? I am guessing no, but just a little prep helps. I would normally say let the lobster dude lead, but they damn well escorted him out (WTH). Students are always off from the cheerleaders. If you are not going to prep, at least follow the cheer-LEADERS.

Hopefully we can stop making excuses by Friday night.....but we have lost our home court advantage. We sound like every other D-1 program right now.

I've posted one that I used back in my day (2010). I am more than happy to post it again.

They need chants sheets real bad. Some needs to email Hart and the SID to help with this. They need some also to hold up a sign or something to indicate to everyone what chants o use.

I've posted this numerous times, but it is a sheet I created back in 2009 with a little help from some friends at Duke.

‘Stangs Sheet

University of Memphis (14-5,5-1) We have a great chance to knock off the Tigers, IF WE, THE STUDENTS, DO OUR PART!
It is very important that the student section works together tonight, all in unison. This is vital during the entire game, but especially during:
Tip-off: Right after player intro’s, we will start chant: “S.M.U… S.MU…”
Defense: Chants such as “Defense”
We mimic what they do on the court (boink, boink, pass, shot, miss, we crescendo “ohhhh” when they are just holding the ball)
-AIRBALL we do a Indian chop and yell “airball, airball, airball, you suck”
-MOSTLY we yell “ohhhh” real real sweet and loud
Fouls
-When an opposing player picks up a foul, chant “YOU, YOU, YOU
When the player has 4 fouls we chant “four, four, four” flashing four on our hands
-When a player fouls out we say “ohhhhhh” (see above) until they sit at which point we say “see ya”
-If a players has more fouls than points, chant for example “4 fouls, 2 points”

KEY PLAYERS:
#1 Pierre Henderson-Niles
-real name is Jartavious/nickname is Big Daddy P
-Lost 30 lbs in the offseason. Jarred is proud of you..pierre was on the subway diet
. Chant: JENNY CRAIG
#3 Roburt Sallie
10.8 PPG, 36 from 3. Hit 9 3’s in a game last year.
#5 Willie Kemp
8 ppg, 403-pt %
#10 Will Coleman
-Ridiculous athlete, who initially committed to Arkansas-Little Rock but opted to go JUCO to improve his academics.
#11 Wesley Witherspoon
-Extremely athletic, but tends to commit dumb fouls. Hound him everytime he fouls someone. Plays multiple positions. His picture is attached.
-11 PPG, shoots the 3 well
#15 Elliot Williams
-Averages 19.8 ppg, 39% 3pt. Transferred from Duke to be closer to his ailing mother.
#20 Doneal Mack
10.5 ppg, 35% 3-pt % Mack's confidence is the biggest part about his game. If he is hot and confident, his shooting his hard to stop. When he starts getting cold, sometimes it is best for the opposing defense to leave him wide open. GIVE HIM HELL EVERYTIME HE MISSES. Judging by his picture, he enjoys partying
Nickname: Bocephus
Mack was a former Florida recruit whom the school refused to admit based on his ACT score rising “too sharply from one test to the next.” CHANT: ACT SCORES
-Was almost forced to delete his facebook because he was complaining about playing time.

SMU needs to be a rowdy drunk college crowd. Cheer sheets aren't cool enough for the school or most any human

If the first four games are any indication, the rowdy, drunk crowd will not be allowed. They might offend someone from the opposing side. we know how to ruin a good thing.

If you have not been to a few SMU games in person then you might not be knowledgeable as to what is going on at Moody. Sometimes thee are 3 different cheers going on t the same time. It happened last year and is might be worse this year. Embarrassing to some degree.

I'm not the biggest fan of cheer sheets, but at SMU (and Dallas, in general) that crowd tends to only show up when it's "cool". Based on my experience, at least. I'm not really sold on the idea that there is a problem but, if there is a problem, relying on that group might not be the best idea...

The real problem is a complete lack of tradition around SMU basketball (and football). Our students and younger alumni are making it all up as we go along, so there're bound to be good and bad days. (Note: Because I know that comment may set off a few people, I think it is important to consider that I said "tradition" and not "history". Whatever might have been tradition was lost to history when it failed to be passed down to new generations. I'm ok with renewing those historical traditions or creating new ones, but the fact remains for the time being.)

I think we're expecting too much "magic" out of what has been a fairly normal season so far.

And notice he didn't say cheer sheets he said chant sheets. The students are cheering in every game that I have gone to but they are not on the same page in chanting. It is a jumled mess a lot of times and nothing is in sync like at other schools.

I am not usually one to come quick to the defense of lackluckster performance from the crowd, but here, I think our worries are a little overblown.

Keep in mind that this time last year, this team was playing to a crowd of hundreds in Garland, and the very first game in Moody last year was against the eventual national champ, so we never saw Moody during the holidays with students gone, or with student there but warming up against less than exciting opponents and with some disappointment in the team's performance as well.

The MOB did chant something at the redhead from Monmouth the other night. Clever I think? I couldn't make it out but it sort of sounded like Lucky Charms?

In all honesty, what makes me more frustrated than the MOB is the absolute disinterest displayed by the Mustang Band. They neither lead cheers nor join in and it drives me absolutely crazy. So you can expect I will be playing this holiday season when I'm in town so I can show them how it is done.

Don't chant, Don't cheer, make noise and push the envelope. Its not about gimmicks or synching
