Wish it had been us, but Rice is definitely my 2nd choice, so I'm glad to see it happen. Pretty good day so far, Rice won, SMU lost. An OU loss would have made it even better.

I would also say hats off to the Rice fans who were shown holding signs that said "Go Rice.....Hoot". At least they know what sound their mascot makes.......unlike our Green Brigade and that stupid CAW that they added to the fight song. And only God knows why. :angry:

We don't know the difference between an Eagle and a Crow (or Raven)? God help us and our status as an institution of higher learning.

KEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE??

'Cause that ain't happening.

Just because humans cannot reproduce the screech that Eagles (and Hawks) make doesn't mean that we have to go to an alternative (and stupid) bird sound.

As a fan base, we look haphazard enough as it is. Why add "stupid" and "pathetic" to that profile.

addendum:

Since one of the "guesstimated" opponents was BC (also the Eagles), I thought I would see what their cheer traditions were.

Quick Guide to BC Eagles Football Cheerssuperfan-fb-4.jpg
•"LET'S GO EAGLES! clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap"
•"WE ARE!" response: "BC!"
•"Eagle's on the warpath! Ohhh, Ahhh"
•One side of the Stadium: "BOSTON!" --- Other side of the stadium: "COLLEGE!"
•Drumline signals "E.__ A. __ G. __ L. __ E. __ S. EAGLES! EAGLES! EAGLES!"
•On Offense: Be quiet and let our boys hear the signal calls.
•On Defense: Be loud! Make tons of noise--jump up and down as a student section.
•Big Third Downs on Defense: Get REALLY loud and get the rest of the stadium to stand up!
•On Kickoffs: Make an insane amount of noise! All students extend their hands toward the field, and scream "woooooooOOOOOAAAHHHH!!!" when the ball is kicked.
•After Each First Down: The Screaming Eagles Marching Band plays a section of the fight song, and students yell, "EAGLES! FIRST DOWN!" and make the first down arm motion.
•After a Touchdown: Everyone goes crazy, and the band plays For Boston. At the end of For Boston, we count the score that our Eagles have racked up. While students are doing this, cheerleaders do push-ups for each point scored. After the first count, the student section goes into a fast-paced version of the score count, ending with the exclamation, "WE WANT MORE!!" During this celebration, it is BC tradition to toss a fellow student in the air while the rest of the student section is counting the score.
Hmmmm, no mention of "CAW" on this page.
