Did I say otherwise? All I said was going to an organized chant is not going to fix it.

Plastic coated benches don't ring like the powdercoated aluminum.

You also have to remember that school is out and everyone has already left and gone back home so the usual fan base is absent.

Look, this could be A&M specific. I know y'all are creative enough to come up with some thing good.

Personally I like the back and forth format better than a single chant like "LSU, LSU" or "USA, USA"

For example:

TEXAS!! AGGIES!! TEXAS!! AGGIES!!

Or, since what texag baseball boarders are best at is arguing, how about:

BANGER! SCAPEGOAT! BANGER! SCAPEGOAT!!

SMALLBALL! POWER! SMALLBALL! POWER!

BUCKLEY! QUENTON!! BUCKLEY!! QUENTON!!

SOCKS!! LONG PANTS!! SOCKS!! LONG PANTS!!

Or what the hell...

TASTES GREAT!! LESS FILLING!! TASTES GREAT!! LESS FILLING!!

Any of the above would bring magic back to Olsen

I've personally sat downstairs and upstairs and can't hardly hear anything the student section does, even when sitting in like 204 205 or 206 and even 102 right below it

The only thing we can do as fans is start producing some future aggies that can hit

That will stop the geaux idiocy

An Aggie did break the back of the bench in row 2 yesterday and thought it was funny. I didn't think so when our local hotel taxes are helping fund Kyle Field. Banging of the bleacher with rings just made the LSU fans yell more and gave many a headache. Just yell more and that would make a difference.

Don't think that we should answer their Chant with another Chant.

Would singing the War Hymn and The Spirit of Aggieland help in this circumstance?

It doesn't sound like much, but it would change the attitude and probably drown some of them out.

Cobizzle- I agree with you. But there are LSU grads and t-shirt fans all over East Texas and Houston. I am sure a lot came from La. but you would be surprised how many more than likely came from somewhere in Texas.

Would singing the War Hymn and The Spirit of Aggieland loudly make any difference in your opinion ??

We can figure out what to do are continue to be Alex Box West when the crowd can help influence the game.

I wouldrather not tear up our new stadium, when we can use voices.

I agree. Maybe it will change back when the Ws start increasing.

I like "TEXAS!!! AGGIES!!!"

Half say "TEXAS" and half say "AGGIES"

Can't depend on the 3d base side, so you'd have to divide up the first base side somehow. Perhaps by section, or even/odd numbered seat...

All the other stuff is fine too.. Chatter, whatever... Can't hear it though...

I like my idea. We should start doing it...

Fans need to hit better, pitch better, and have a better fielding %. Then we'd win series against teams like LSU

Why would an Aggie think its funny to damage school property?

Then do so, if you get enough folks to go along more power to you. I'll continue to resist bringing football chants and cheers to a baseball venue.

I watched the game on TV yesterday and all you could hear were the LSU cheers. Even the announcers were having to say they were really in CS, and not BR.

You are correct. I don't know how I didn't think of that immediately.

I think that would be awesome!!

As I said, if you can get others to go along, good for you. Far worse things have caught on at Olsen.

Farmers fight at the baseball game would be very homosexual...

I sit downstairs where I have for the last 26 seasons.
Are the bleachers in the student sections upstairs plastic or metal?
The bleacher stomp/ bang is non existent now.
Back in the late 80's to late 90's before first pitch of a big game the students would start banging on the bleachers basically right after the national anthem and would continue during the pitchers warmup and not stop untill after the 1st pitch was thrown.
That started to die off around the time RC got here. Like to see things like that return. Like I said I don't know if the seats upstairs are plastic like downstairs now or if metal.

Another thing IMO that has hurt Olsen are the addition of the berms and Aggie Alley being reduced to what it is today.
The berms will be hard pressed to create any atmosphere. It's too much like a picnic area and when folks are in that setting will act accordingly. It's just somewhere to lay on the grass with a blanket and watch a Game much like just as your watching a game on tv.
No atmosphere at all on the berms.
The old RF bleachers did create an atmosphere when it was full.
Students and GA fans would get to Olsen hours before it opened to get in line and the student sections and RF bleachers would be full while the teams were still doing pregame. We don't see that anymore.. Not even close.
Bill Byrne killed Aggie Alley, yes it was due to the actions of some very irresponsible and immature students but when those changes took place,AA has not been the same.
If you never got a chance to witness aggie alley in its prime you really missed something special. There were over 2K people out there for conference weekend series and A&M flags everywhere, BBQ pits going, folks on uhauls, it was a party and created an atmosphere second to none.
After 2 full years of blue bell park I think it's obvious it will be hard to create the old Olsen atmosphere, even with a highly ranked team. The new park is just too modernized with the club seating, berms, playground etc etc.. Just a very minor league feel to it.
