gotta have a much larger student body than SMU to get anything like that going, but no reason SMU can't create something at our level

[PonyKris89]

Ooooooooo?

Is that pronounced like "oh" or like the o's in "boo"?

It's a big loooong "oh"…

when we did it yesterday, it was at it's loudest. It's far more effective and intimidating than the "De-Fense" chant.

[SMU2007]

I'd also like to take a page out of the San Antonio Spurs book and do a "Go Stangs Go" beat.

I like it

We could do that if the non students would do it with them since we are all fans.

The "oh" chant was really good.

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.

Harry, I remember when we tried to get the boing boing boing thing going on defense while we were in the stands back in 2007... in high school we said boing for every dribble, whoaaaaa for every pass, and yelled out random quick things like wha wha whahhhhah wha when they were holding the ball, and shot when they shot it. Worked extremely well and made it so everyone paid constant attention in the stands.

I think we should be happy with the way everyone actually got off their feet and made noise in the second half. First half was a little quiet and reserved. But SMU fans getting loud and crazy doesn't happen very often, so lets be happy with that and then worry about the right chants .

All of that said, "Come on you Stangs" would sound awesome in there, better than "When the stangs go marching in", IMHO. But I was at the game when they lost 5-0 to Liverpool and AVB got fired, so it would bring back bad memories.

I'd also like to take a page out of the San Antonio Spurs book and do a "Go Stangs Go" beat.

You a Spurs fan?

Sorry for your troubles. Blue Moon!

The "left right" chant when there is a foul out is original to SMU -and needs to be continued with the help of the student body, not just the band.

I've heard other schools do it - but it's definitely one of the best ones out there. Cracks me up every time.

I wonder why none of the players have ever started hopping though to mess right back with the students.

Have seen quite a few players hop on one foot, fake a step, fake a sit down, etc. When the band started this in the 90's it was incredible. It has since spread a long ways. One of our best traditions.

The "KEEEEIIIIIIITTTTHHHHHH" chants were also good after that 5-0 run he went on. Can hear it pretty good on tv
