The chant sucks, I agree. So lets get a Red-Blue chant going this weekend!

A red-blue chant would be great and I'm game for that.

I like that idea. The homecoming program had a Go Owls chant to be done the same way. The main stands say "Go" and the student section says "Owls"

I think everyone got a little off topic. Its simple, NO MORE "WHO LET THE OWLS OUT"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll weigh in on this chant thing - once again. It was discussed on this board over the summer.

Although a lot of people consider the chant to be "dumb," etc. you have to remember - we are a young school.  Half or more than half of the people on this board can't sing our fight song. We have nothing else other than "let's go owls" and "defense," as far as chants (that the general population knows).

I"WHO LET THE OWLS OUT IS SOMETHING." It's something that we can look back and say "people knew it and chanted it."  EMBRACE people like the gentleman who started and keeps the chant going. We need 15,000 more of him - dedicated owls who come to every game both home and away.

Seriously….
- Y'all are talking crap about this guy,
- People (or at least a couple) have criticized the band, cheerleaders, Owsley, etc.
- Not on this board, but on the sun-sentinel blog, one blogger takes rips at the student spirit group, the prOWLers
- one or two posts talked about Clayton turning over the ball on purpose

As someone who is an avid Owl fan, I understand that some things could be different and we wish they were a little better. But EMBRACE what we have. If we keep saying negative remarks, saying outlandish comments about spirit groups, bands, cheerleaders, etc. or tell fans to SHUT UP after they are CHEERING for OUR team, WE ARE GOING TO LOSE WHAT WE HAVE.

Come on guys/girls. Let's be serious. If you are going to criticize something, let's make it positive and have an alternative plan - not just "give them something else to cheer."

I think it's unanimous the Who Let the Owls Chant should never be chanted again but I like the Blue and Red or maybe 1 side chants FAU and the other side chants Owls instead of Go Owls

The problem is getting any of the people on the south sideline to make ANY noise, let alone chant. They're so quiet over there.

ok….here is my observation…

Home side chants one of the following:

1.  Go!

2.  Red!

And the visitors side chants:

***Bueller***

***Bueller***

-cricket sounds-

***Bueller***

Well, the visitors side chants nothing back because:

THERE ARE NO PEOPLE SITTING IN IT…….

Now, move the students over there, and we are good to go to stage two:

1. Owls!

2. Blue!

But i must agree with Coop…the chant "Who let the Owls out?" STINKS…gotta go…

Buh-Bye…….

Peyton, maybe you and your wife should bring her arse out there a few times a week and sweat your brains out learning the routines and songs. Then she can complain all she wants.

The band sounded great, the uniforms looked great, and with more numbers will be even more impressive. The key is getting more members and that means getting more high school band members to continue their careers at FAU, and current FAU music majors to contribute to the on-field product.

Yes. There are strict rules as to when the mic can be used and when it can't be used. Some teams (like ULM) push the issue a lot more until finally the referees are tired of hearing them cry and tell us to shut it off. We are at the mercy of the referees. What we do/not do is a reflection of what we are allowed to do as "official representatives of the university." There's both good and bad sides of being officially tied to the university.
