RV Chant???

Moobs · October 29, 2015

So during Saturday's game, should we start a chant? I'm thinking when the banner makes it's appearance, we should start something. What are you guys thoughts? Yes or no? And what chant should we do? "Fire Rick"?

Sounds like a good idea but since there will only be like 25 people there and only like 10 of us will be chanting it, It will just sound muffled and RV wont be able to hear it from his Ivory tower (Suite)

wouldn't matter if there were 20,000. They would just be a very vocal minority.

I'm pro chants.

I'm more pro clever chants.

Cleverness is more effective imho.

Then how bout "Jimmy John's, Jimmy John's, Jimmy John's"

Oh wait, we're supposed to "give that a rest". My bad, everyone

"Sweater vest, sweater vest, sweater vest!"

Since the banner is flying 4-5PM, and the game kicks at 6pm, I would suggest a new trigger to the chant.

Luke the first time UTSA scores?

Perhaps then it might show there is more than a 'minority'.

Can someone sneak onto the field and replace the "North" and "Texas" cheer signs with "Fire" and "Rick"?

"Hey! Ho! The Sweater Vest must go!"

Can this start when the game has already been decided? I don't want the team to be distracted in a game they have a chance of winning.

The good news is that with so few people in the crowd to chant, RV can personally scribble out an 1187 word response to each person.

Chants like that are unbecoming of alumni. If it were to come out of the student section... well I'd understand.

Don't worry, they aren't clever or organized enough to come up with said chant. Hell, 90% of the time I have to tell the students around me to shut the f*** up when we're on offense. Apparently that is a difficult concept to understand.

Some things never change. I had to do the same thing when I was a student.

There are a lot of concepts that are difficult to understand at NT.

can we take the banner after the plane is done, and plaster it the the viewing window of RV's suite? He might lie and say he never noticed it though.

Good thing we have a "young alumni" section embedded on the Student's side.

Excellent point! The young alumni section was a great idea. I'll give RV credit for that. I think he came up with it.

Except the idea was a disaster because of poor marketing. It's now the Eastside Social Club/John Williams section.

John managed to sell out a section that RV couldn't move.

Go figure.

True. It was a great idea, that had great possibilities, but RV couldn't make it work, and someone else stepped up and made it happen.

I thought the conference forced that move because our student section was too close to the opponents bench and (in their opinion) too rowdy.

And then RV came up with the young alumni idea, put no effort into actually marketing it toward recent alumni, and then thankfully JW came in to save the day, coming up with a marketing plan that sold out the section.

Its amazing what a competent businessman can accomplish, isn't it?

And I would be willing to bet it was John Williams who came up with the idea and contacted RV, not the other way around.

Maybe RV learned his sales techniques from Mandy?
