Texas Trip Recaps

We'll have a few thousand people there, I'm pretty sure we could pull a little one off. It won't boom like at the UF game but it'd be fun to try.

Re: Texas Trip Recaps

why would we copy somebody especially in our own state we need to be original.

Re: Texas Trip Recaps

I can think of 3 schools in the state that do that chant with their own colors…not to mention the others that do it with variations…on top of the fact that I'd argue that 75% of every college football program in the country has a response chant like that. Texas did it too.

While we're at it though, lets kill the Go Owls chant since Michigan says Go Blue in their games.

It's pretty hard to be original at this point in the game-lets work on not copying Temple or Rice's chants, that's originality.

My sister, (FAU student) called me before the game chanting "Hoot Hoot!" and after "tweet tweet."

You have the ability to start or shape future traditions, that is very cool.

That is why we all LOVE FAU so much. Then again, when chants are created and people don't like it, we get into the same debate over and over again about how something needs to be created.

I always felt that it's hard to create tradition. Tradition just kinda…well…happens. Like the overtime shuffle last year. That wasn't planned.

Owl Fingers are slowly catching on and that was a "planned" tradition from 2002.

I'm sorry but the "tweet tweet" is kinda "GAY GAY"…

I agree with Smitty… "tradition happens" …. hmmm might have an idea for a new FAU football shirt  ;D

Re: Texas Trip Recaps

Smitty,

I guess the trick is to get together with friends and start doing something together in unison.  Texas got its colors because the baseball fans wanted a ribbon to separate our fans from the other teams.  So some students went to a store, bought the cheapest ribbon they could find and used it.  Yes, it was orange.  Tennessee gave our football team their first uniforms (their old ones).

Definitely some crowds are more into the games than others.  At Mizzou you goad the crowd into booing for no reason at all with just 2 people.  My BIL and I did this a couple years back when they were hosting Kansas.  (They 'boo' so much on TV and during the games, we figured (correctly) we could start a booing session for no reason at all.

I wouldn't really use aggy as an example, if someone does something 2x, it automatically becomes a tradition.

Including the jizz jar on the bonfire, the 'elephant' walk, saluting the dog mascot, the butt-to-nutt security - when taking the dog for a walk, the aggy squeeze (see video).
