Where are the Mustang Maniacs when we need them ?

I was [un]official head of the MM back in 09-10. Armen over at Rivals game me his old Cheat Sheets from TTU that I used and distributed at games.

I might've had a fake facebook account to talk with star players on other teams.

Harry0569, you are deserving of a double fist bump. Thanks for heading up the Maniacs during that time. It really does help the game atmosphere when the students get into it and are at least somewhat organized in their havoc reeking. The present students need a leader like you.

Took me a while, but he is my cheat sheet from the Memphis game in 2010

Took me a few hours, but here it is. I have a few good pictures of Mack and Witherspoon being idiots. Also, a buddy of mine incorporated Pierre's weight loss with the new Taco Bell diet. We blew it up on a huge poster board.

Enjoy

‘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.

Nice effort Harry. Now if you could just get everyone to listen and join in (including cheers and band when cheer started by students, and vice versa when appropriate). Aside from (1) the general lack of students and (2) the lack of consolidated student section for easier coordination and more consolidated noise, the next biggest draw back seems to be (3) each little group tries to hard to do their own thing rather than look and listen for opportunities to join into a cheer (which is assisted by a sheet that gives people heads up of what to expect so the cheers are easier to decipher).

One of my favorites while at Duke was a "You Shot the Sheriff" chant at a guy with particularly nasty dreadlocks, and for a more crude, perhaps too crude now that I'm 40, but a funny one when I was 21 or 22, "Master Bates" to a Vandy guy with the last name of Bates while at the free throw line, followed by "Too Much Wrist" when he miss the free throw.

And for anyone who has been to a Duke game in the last 20 or so years and knows what I'm talking about, I have a secret desire to be the "Crazy Towel Lady" (I sit in about the same location as Crazy Towel Guy in relation to the band) -- except I know at SMU, rather than chants of encouragement and admiration, the student would just wonder what the crazy lady is doing, and the people around me would just yell at me to sit down. Sigh.

Does Cameron Indoor have a private club, club seats, and luxury suites in it?

Cameron and the original Moody were the same building with different finishing trim; Moody began to change when the Dallas Mavericks qualified for the NBA playoffs ahed of schedule and had to "borrow" Moody. That was the beginning of the fat cat courtside seats and the demise of what was once a great home court advantage and atmosphere. It was never "Cameron crazy", but we rocked that place during my years at SMU when students occupied the entire end of the north side bleachers and also sat behind the SMU bench (seats behind the visitor's bench was usually reserved for visitor's friends and family

Early 80's lower seating was all students and it was packed and it was loud.

good work Harry

[SMUHeel]

Uh, the crazies do not pack Cameron indoor every night. They're clever with how they position the cameras to focus only on certain sections so tha it seems full. Reality is that cis is full 2-3 games a year, and that ticket usage by students is declining.

Sure Dickie v has hyped the atmosphere up, but I hope smu fans ever stoop as low as dook fans. Two weeks ago thy were taunting an nc state player about his grandmothers recent passing

This is a lie. The Raleigh paper says that it is a lie:

The Fayetteville paper says that it is a lie:

The taunt that was actually directed at Tyler Lewis was "Past Your Bedtime," which makes sense given that he appears to be 12:

I'll try to give you the benefit of the doubt that you are not a total troll, but merely need some time to get over the fact that your eight-loss Tar Heels actually showed up for a game but, you know, still lost to Duke. More importantly, I hope SMU never emulates Carolina by building a morgue of an all-purpose building like the Dean Dome.
