If anyone can help me out here, I am thinking that during a particular part of the first pregame or during the first game it would be really cool if we yell out Go Mean Green! in unison. That's all I could come up with so far but I was hoping that you guys could help me to figure out the rest. Maybe it could be in the last 3 seconds of a quarter since it is three syllables? Or at a specific time marker. It would be a cool way for us to show our solidarity and add some fun. It could be a neat tradition that we could say we started in the new stadium. We could tell our grandchildren stories about it when they wheel us in 20-30 years from now. Just a thought, so let me hear some ideas on how to develop it! GMG!

Everyone seems to like the back and forth banter of "NORTH"..."TEXAS" so why not do "NORTH" (student)..."TEXAS" (alumni)..."MEAN" (student)..."GREEN" (alumni)...FIGHT (both).

It could be administered at any time (when there is time) by the student side cheerleaders. The word "GO" (or "WIN") could be substituted for "FIGHT". It also could be repeated more than once.

I like both your's and Harry's ideas

But.........

Whatever we do, it needs to be VERY simple and easy to get started because otherwise, it ain't gonna fly!

I'm thinking as the last 3 seconds of the 1st or 3rd quarter run out we say Go Mean Green! in time with each second as the quarter clock expires... That would be fairly easy to remember. 3-go, 2-mean, 1-green...

I like this idea too. Hopefully we'll utilize our jumbotron more @ the new house to organize something like this.

Having never been to your stadium, I can't say how y'all currently use the GMG, but you could use it like the Spurs MAVERICKS use Go Spurs Go "LET's GO MAVS".

You know when the time is right for cheers like this. It's an easy cheer that everyone can scream in unison.

EDIT - Upon further discussion, it has been decided that I should avoid anything Spurs when making suggestions on this board.

I was with you until you said Spurs, then I tuned out.

We've ripped off chants/spirit ideas from other teams/schools before. Can't enjoy it as much when too many refuse to adopt it because it's not original. Now, edit your post and remove the part about it being used in San Antonio and I'm sure everyone will love it.

There is that better :D

Scrappy gives the signal, and you know he's giving the signal because wherever he's currently located in the stadium a camera has him on the video board, you knew ro look up at the video board because the cheerleaders are yelling a long unified "ooooohhh" yell and rolling their fists, and at the appropriate fist pump by Scrappy it starts.

Let's!

Go!

Mean!

Green!

Fight!

During the Bill Blakely years, we used to bring the Mean Green out onto the floor by cheering "Bring On The Mean Green". Almost all in the Super Pit would get into it and have fun with it. I have no idea why it quit when Blakely left.

I dont see why this would not work as a pregame cheer and to cheer the team out after halftime.

I know this is not quite what you are talking about but I am also an old fart and live in the past. Forgive me.

I remember when when Memphis did their version at the New Orleans Bowl. It was really impressive to hear their ENTIRE side cheer T-I-G-E-R-S TIGERS!

On another note. The 2 crowd participation cheers we do well have the help of the 1. cheerleaders or 2. the PA announcer.

1. The NORTH - TEXAS cheer is helped by the signs the cheerleaders hold up.

2 When we get a frst down, the PA announcer says, "That's good for another Mean Green" and we reply "FIRST DOWN"

What I'm trying to say is that the crowd needs help and the cheerleaders and/or PA announcer have the tools to provide that help.

This is good until someone calls timeout with two seconds left and we're required to hold "mean" for over a minute. We'd have fans dropping like flies.

I'd like to see us do the chant portion of our fight song accapella complete with arm signals. I think that would be especially cool at road games. However, it may not "fly" because there may be too many people that don't want to acknowledge that our mascot is still the Eagles, just because we have an awsome nick name in Mean Green.

      Ladies at ACU

      I went to the game, again we started slow and accelerated in the second quarter outscoring ACU 27-12. We let them back in it and the lead got down to three points twice. But we went on a game-sealing 11-0 run to take a 66-52 lead as Lampkin took over. One of ACU's starting bigs went out late with an apparent back injury. She's from Bixby, Oklahoma, which is where I've gotten my only speeding ticket, so maybe she deserved it. As for the arena, it shares the same name as SMU's (Moody Coliseum) and looks like a carbon copy of TCU's (albeit half the size). Recently renovated and very nice. The ACU men hosted TXST shortly after. Which we could get some better men's/women's doubleheaders and on the weekend to help boost the ladies' attendance.

      Next week's ECU game is our last chance this season to sellout DATCU Stadium

      Will Caponi and the dunk tank make one last appearance at DATCU this weekend?

      Team transportation to San Antonio

      Any word on if Caponi had to drive back to DFW?

      Caponi fired

      Thank you. Might seem crazy now with only two games left in the regular season, but no way you get rid of him at 5-1 or 5-2, and it shows a pissed off fanbase that maybe Morris does care to build a serious contender. However, if Morris's tenure ends in failure, one of the questions I will continue to ponder is "Why did we feel like we had to give an unproven position coach the largest G5 coordinator salary in the first place?"
