As it's now done, this cheer runs counter-clockwise and that throws people off. The old "Min" "Ne" "So" Ta" cheer always ran clockwise. Clocks run clockwise. It's the way God intended people to cheer.

Start the cheer with the North side (us sun-baked ones) and then to the student section and then the South side (those shivering ones). Much easier to say "Mah" when your teeth are chattering than "Ski" (or "Sky" in phonetics speech). Much more intuitive.
BTW, the handful of people sitting in those bleachers by the large scoreboard -- can they say "rah" at the end of the cheer? Hate to leave 'em out of it.
