We seriously need some new chants...

Last Friday, I though my head would explode if I heard "Let's Go R-A-M-S clap-clap-clap clap clap" one more time. Plus, we can't really use that one (or "Ram It," really) on wednesday v. Rhode Island. Let's brainstorm and try to come up with some new ones for our guests this week.

1. Maybe we could even get the cheerleaders and dance team into it. Have someone on one end hold up a sign that says "Black," and the other end hold up one that says "Gold" and alternate them so we can coordinate a cross-gym chant. We could also do "Go" and "Rams". Also, if each end did the same color every game, eventually the crowd would just know to do it.

2. Instead of "V-C-U-clap" maybe change it up sometimes and say "Black-and-Gold-clap"

3. For Richmond, when it gets down to the end and we are up by 25 (or 10) instead of saying warm up the bus, we coulod do the GRTC chant we did at the VUU exhibition game.

What ya' got?

yeah and guess who started most of those chants? I'm just glad to hear people cheer. And honestly I hope your head does explode from cheering too much! That's what its supposed to do! As student we should leave the game hoarse and tired...
 
I find this thread enchanting. Anyway how 'bout "Larry Sanders, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap".

The Tick administration would call the riot police if their crowds were half as vociferous as ours.

I know I probably started at least ten or fifteen, but towards the end it was just the exact same thing every time down the court. I leave every game so coarse I can barely talk to customers at work the next day, but it's always worth it. I'm just sayin' some more variety would be nice.

Can't use that.

I like the Black/Gold chant, also using the same idea, do V-C-U. Every other time, it would be a different end to start it.

Maybe not for Wednesday's game, but for the others
 
Very true! we only have about two or three chants

Like VCU's version of the hey song
We could use a lot more use of the dancers and cheer leaders two so it isnt all focus on the band
 
I also was VERY tired of the "(lets go rams) + 5(clap)"
I am glad we are hosting URI as it will force some creativity upon us. I like the Black / Gold endzone to endzone idea, we'll try to set that in motion. East - gold since it usually has the most gold, West - black since it usually has the most black (and various other colors).

Other ideas:
(here we go black & gold, here we go!) + 2(clap)

think we should try our first roll call of the season? or should we reserve that for conference play?
 
How 'bout instead of the wave everybody shouts "GO RAMS" around the court, one section at a time). Wave/Antiwave sort of thing.

Go RAMS!
Beat Little Rams!!
 
We in the band have been trying our best to keep any chants we get going at a reasonable pace. But alas, they always take off like some crack addicted hamsters...
 
How bout everyone points at our bench and chants RAMS, and then points tothe URI bench and chants EWES........RAMS....EWES....RAMS...EWES....with everyone going back and forth pointing from one bench to the other...faster and faster until something explodes...
(edit) or crack addicted hamsters????
