NORTH TEXAS Chant Is Better Than Ever!

That chant gets people fired up like never before. So loud. People always et involved. Thanks to the people who run the video board who clearly read this. So loud.

The video board displaying "NORTH ... TEXAS" in conjunction with the cheerleaders leading this chant makes it easy for great crowd participation. This is how you create a hostile environment for opposing teams.

Asked this earlier but was there an ending to it at one point late or after the game? I thought I heard a chant come to a quick end?

I agree... We truly did provide a hostile environment for the Owls last night. The North Texas chant was great, the crowd was big and loud, and the student section was impressive. I am very happy with all of it.

The student section went a bit overboard...there was some very nasty chants coming from our side, though.

Rick, the cheerleaders (who also wore new black uniforms for the game) lead the North Texas cheer earlier in the game. I think it was during the fourth quarter that the students started it on their own, and the crowd picked up on it. That one didn't last as long as the game resumed. The student side was really into this game and stayed through the end. Unlike some previous games, there was no significant (if any) decline in attendance during the game.

I was impressed with the students. I think everyone realizes now that this team is special and to enjoy it.

Excellent. Thank you.

At one point on the radio I heard, or thought I heard what sounds like the end of the fight song. Very loud and very clear.

The noise on the highlight reel at the end sounds like any of the SEC games you see on TV. Greatness!

That's what I'm saying. Maybe I'm just a homer but seriously, our stadium sounds just as loud as many 50K stadiums sold out. It's comparable. Whoever designed Apogee is a genius.

Rice couldn't even hear for the end of the game, and they played at Kyle. I found that interesting.

What were they saying? It was hard to hear everything from the other side. PM me if it is too bad to post on here. Just wondering what they came up with.

I was right above the bench, and we were trying to get a Harvard rejects chant, but it didn't catch on. Also some of the students started chanting "bulls***" after the hold on the 8th and goal.

I will say this, some guys were screaming at the rice bench the whole second quarter, and they were not cussing, and only saying things as bad as "scoreboard", "rice sucks", and "your team is loooosing", and a few times the players would get pissed and turn and cuss at them, and one time the Rice head coach turned around and yelled "F*** you"

Our student section is vicious. Gotta be one of the nastiest. Love it.

Does anyone have video of the North Texas chant??

The band launched into the fight song to bring the chant to a uniform end. Worked well.

JRock · November 1, 2013

What was I hearing on TV during the PAT? I heard what I thought was U N T. Sounded different and really cool.

My thoughts exactly.

Both times the cheer was organized by the cheerleaders and/or jumbotron, music brought the chant to an effective, clean end (either by the band or the PA system). Worked like a charm!

Thanks to those who coordinated this effort.

I've never been in the student section for a football game. I ventured down to the student section at basketball games a few times back when Flyer was leading it, and they would rile the opposing team every game.

I kinda' chuckled yesterday when I looked at the ticketmaster available seats. I guess that whole CUSA no students behind the opposing bench rule didn't fly...at all.

Yes. A great big thanks goes out to all those who helped organize the NORTH...TEXAS chant into a potent home field event that charges up everyone--the players, the fans, the whole Mean Green Nation. This kind of stuff definitely plays with the heads of the opposing team's players, coaches, etc.

The crowd noise on the TV broadcast was really loud. Very impressive. Even one of the anouncers mentioned how loud the crowd noise was on a paricular 3rd down. It sounded like the place was packed!

Apogee is a world-class stadium with an excellent design. Let's pack it for the UTEP game and make it so loud in there that they will be able to hear us chant NORTH...TEXAS all the way back in El Paso.

GMG.

Hey Rick! See also:

The sound ends up being weird though cause the GoPro that close to my face becomes almost like a spot lavalier mic. I'll post some other fun GoPro-ing from last night later.

I loved how the student section started the Go Mean Green chant after the game before the school song was played. It was authentic, school spirit. So awesome.
