Instead of everyone yelling during an opposing team's free throw, it would be much more distracting to be completely silent and have 1 person yell just as the guy was shooting the ball. Maybe we could get shirtless guy to do the yelling. I really think this could work if we got the word out before Wed. game. If anyone can pull this off, it would be A&M!

If you think we can pull that off, then we might as well try to have the entire student section shout something in unison instead of one guy. Just have a yell leader direct it and have a giant whiteboard or something to show what word or phrase we'll yell.

Its actually funny you say that because Clemson used to do that at their basketball games. The used to get tottally silent, I have no idea if they still do it.

Maybe like Stillwell Angel in "League of their Own", during the Clemson freethrows the shirtless guy could yell "you're gonna lose, you're gonna lose"

Hmmm: Y'all need to take a look at our free throw percentage: you might not want to change a thing!

How bout we get Tom Hanks to hit the Clemson guy in the face with a baseball glove.

I think the "you're gonna lose thing" while silently sawing 'em off would be great. Sawing 'em off is unique to A&M and Ive actually never seen it done during a basketball game anywhere else in the country. - So we gotta keep doing that, plus the vertigo effect is incredible.

I like the idea of the whole crowd yelling something together. Can you imagine trying to concentrate on a free throw when you hear thousands of people yelling your name. That would be great to have everyone yell the guys first name right before he shoots.....

Something I've been thinking about since as you say "sawing em off" is unique to A&M. After the opening tip (if they get it) and then any time after that that normally we'd be jumping up and down and screaming AAAAA. What if we sawed em off and did like an AAAAAAAAOOOOOOOOO either in rythym or every time they pass the ball?

As far as free throws I still like sawing em off while singing kids songs... but that's just me.

"i love you, you love me, were a happy family, with a great big hug, and a kiss from me to you, wont you say you love me too?"

repeat

Nice post. We certainly need to do stuff like we do in the baseball games. And what better opportunity than basketball games with a closed arena and more fans. How about everyone being silent and the shirtless guy singing the "I love you, you love me" song? Or the shirtless guy could sing "I love you" and the crowd could reply "you love me" which would make it more distracting.

Maybe we could get listeater to do a dance like kristy alley does in that advertisement for fat actress. Would definately be something that would bring down the moral of the shooter.

Maybe get the fat guy to be fully dressed at the beginning and do a little strip show taking off his shirt after they make a free throw and then maybe like some snap windpants after they make the next one until he's down to his usual attire. Surely then they'd stop makin em.

"john, jacob, jingleheimer schmidt, Thats my name toooooo.... whenever we go out, the people always shout - john jacob jingleheimer schmidt! DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA"

MOBILIZE THE TROOPS

The wheels on the bus go round and round round and round round and round the wheels...

and then once we get this going good... we can do Row Row Row your boat in rounds by section.

I like El_Guapo's idea. If nothing else, the shooter would have a difficulty b/c of laughter. I think A&M could (and should) pull this off. It would probably even make sports center if we did it well enough. What's more distracting than a large, shirtless man singing "I love you" to another man while he is trying to shoot free throws. What a great idea!

All I know is after we have some time this offseason to potentially meet with the yell leaders and discuss some things that next year is gonna be intense.

This is how I imagine it...
(left side of the student section) I LOVE YOU...
(right side) YOU LOVE ME

BOTH (and start swaying) we're a hap-py fam-i-ly

bobinator, you are one sick individual. I love it. I ran out of creative ideas early in the year, but I'll help as much as possible.
