Posted on the Tubby email thread. Can we come up with some creative chants as a group? It would be awesome to add to the enthusiasm of the student section with some creative (clean) zingers to throw at the Boilers.
 

Kramer is a hack!

Rooooooooid Raaaaaaaaage Rooooooooooooid Raaaaaaaaaaage etc.
 


One of your alumni stalks our coach! *clap*-*clap*-*clapclapclap*

What? Too many syllables?
 

I don't know of many coaches that got after the refs more than Bobby Knight. From 1990 to 2001 I went to pretty much every Indiana game at the Barn. When ever Bobby Knight would step up on the floor everyone in the Barn(not just the student section) would boo so loudly you couldn't hear the person next to you. It was great.
 


More than any chant, just be loud on every defensive possession and free throw attempt
 


I'd like to see something about Gene Keady's hair piece worked into the rotation.
 





Gustavus in the MIAC has a "nerd" chant that I've seen get in the heads of their opponents. They pick out a nerd, usually typifying the moniker and not their best player, and every single time he gets the ball that would chant, "Nerd! Nerd! Nerd!..." Loud and clear with their arms doing that foul/tomahawk motion to the cheer. That would be a great taunt to get the barnyard to do. Perhaps one to start up next year as opposed to now.


The one thing I would love to see is 14,000 people chanting, "Let's Go Gophers" prior to the tip. Simple, resounding, supportive.
 

Why on earth would anybody think Chris Kramer is on steroids? That's a stupid cheer. Just because he has a football build in a sea of lanky basketball bodies does not make him a steroid user.

Trust me, any good cheer will come organically from the student section and won't come from a bunch of desk slaves posting on the internet.

I have actually heard this done by some part of the barnyard during the nonconference games, and I feel like it is always done for NU. Sitting close to the pep band a few times, I know the tuba section always finds a 'nerd' and does the exact thing you are describing. It would be cool to get the rest of the barnyard involved in this too.
 





I think something about JaJuan Johnson needing to eat might be pretty good. Dude is quite the beanpole.
 

A couple of my favorites that we haven't utilized are the "Gopher Chomp," and chanting "Let's Go U!"

The "Gopher Chomp," is not really a chant, but it's hilarious nonetheless.
And the "Let's Go U!" is a steal from Duke, but it still would work and would emphasize our validity as "The U." Start it out slow, simultaneously clap with "let's" and "go."
"Let's (clap) Go (clap), U!" And just raise your arm like you're doing the "whoosh" on a made free throw.

Kinda like this,Style of the Chant, obviously a lot longer and A LOT louder considering our section is bigger than this.
 

sorry for the double post, but even better than, "Let's Go U!" we could just subsitute, "Ski U Mah!" and do the exact thing, with one of our historical cheers.

Thank you. :clap::clap::clap:
 

From Hammer and Rails - All things Boilermaker:

What are they Amish?
The Barn? We're playing a Barn tonight? I am all for the origins of the game, but let's go all the way on this. Minnesota should have lanterns hanging from the ceiling and straw brushed off to the side if they are going to call their home gym, "The Barn." There is nothing more ridiculous than commentators commenting about the weirdness of a particular floor.

Also, they are hammering the comment from D. Johnson about being overhyped. I'm not trying to get into a discussion about that comment, or whether or not it can/will have any affect on the boilermaker team, I'm just saying that some Purdue boards are hammering it hard.

Purdue is also trying to start some new tradition with the phrase "Defense lives here".

No ideas, but I thought I would throw out some things to chew on.
 


"FIX OUR FURN-ACE" clap clap clapclapclap

or

"HOO-SIER RE-JECTS" clap clap clapclapclap
 




F**K Matt Painter or F**K the Boilers would be really cool.
