GB Chants

[Pantherholic]

alright folks well i don't need to remind you which game is this saturday and since we won't have a lot of time to plan i figured i'd start it now. we need to come up w/ chants and signs for the students and anyone else who wants to join in. here's what i've run by jdbrew so far:

Free Throws - either chant "Naked Netters" or "Naked
Free Throws"

Ryan Tillema - "Transfer"

Mike Schactner - something in reference to his acne


poor man's coach k - possibilities are endless here ;D

team - haven't thought of much besides "F*ck Green Bay"

signs: i plan on having a "Too Much Hair Gel" sign


feel free to add your two cents.

I love all of these. except for the F'ck cheer of course.

An exact coach K cheer would be nice.


Question:
Wasn't there talk that Tillema chose GB due to Coach K's references to Milwaukee's black population? Not sure on this but I thought I saw it on the board. If this is indeed the case then we will need to chant "Racist" for good ol' Ryan. Kinda sounds like "Rapist" which is my second favorite cheer.

I really hate to be the chant police here, but if you guys wonder why everyone else in the league looks down on you guys, it's because of things like this....the rest are fine, but you shouldn't be harrassing a guy for this particular thing he can't control.

"Unfortunately..I would be surprised if Tillema wound up at UWM. I will keep race out of it but lets just call it "social concerns".

I have said all along that UWGB NEEDS to keep the smaller town, non-urban white kids in Green Bay. So far, he has done that. Tillema would add to that. The word is that Tillema is a bit intimated by the city of Milwaukee and the "makeup" of the current roster.

It will be interesting to see. He would feel more comfortable socially at UWGB."

This and the f*ck Green Bay chant.

Please, please keep it clean. Otherwise, you look like you have zero class.

[fan]

Ok so memory serves me correctly. Racist must and will be chanted.

Pantherholic, just woke up from my third nap of the day. When's the next game at Baker Fieldhouse, anyway? This is a simple one: If GB loses tonight at home to lousy Eastern Michigan, all you need to chant is: Eastern Michigan, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap. Youch!

which idea are u referring to as "this"?

[milwsport]

The F*uck whatever school we are playing is bad idea. Keep in mind that some of our fans bring their kids to these games and we'd like to see more of that. How many people will want to bring their kids to be exposed to that? "Gee daddy what does that mean?"

How about "Green Bay sucks? Has the same effect and it isn't as offensive.

Also the "racist" thing will not be understood by anyone who hasn't read this board. Furthermore Coach K is not playing it won't have any impact on his players even if they know what you are referring to. And if they do know it has the potential of getting them fired up to defend their coach.

Please leave those two on the cutting room floor.

[PJD]

Absolutely keep it clean. This is from a parent that brings his kids to the game. Be smart and creative and you will impress those fans not in the student section and still piss off our opponents.

I completely agree the "F*ck insert school" chants need to end, and to a large extent have been stopped already. We really do need to think about Alumni and general fans bringing children to the games. Just because UW students yell "f*** You" doesn't make it ok for us to yell it...

I think Bruce said it best along the lines of, "you don't need to tell Butler to f*** themselves, because we are going to f*** them for you". (Sorry Butler)

I really see nothing wrong with yelling something like "zit beard" to Schactner. I think this chant is basically equal to chanting "braided mullet", or something along the lines of "you are ugly" to a guy. I could think of far more classless and horrible things we could yell at someone.

It amazes me that other teams around the Horizon League say we are so classless(I admit we aren't saints, but other fans do the same thing just without a solid group effort like us). When you come to the U.S. Cellular arena you never have to worry for your own safety, unlike some arenas that will be left unnamed. I've also seen fans from nearly every school in the league openly mock and make fun of Michael Poll. There is nothing more classless than making fun of an exception individual, but fans of other schools aren't objective enough to look at their own behavior. Jeeze at least I haven't seen us mocking injured players and their families like some UWGB fans did last year. Big nasty UWM is just so mean I guess... cry me a river

Anything vulgar that people may want to say to players should be said before the game(no chanting necessary). We have been doing a good job talking up the other teams before the game, and I think getting in there heads even before tipoff is the best way to go about it.

If we are kicking UWGB's ass down the stretch I would like to advocate for a nice "Chose the Wrong School!" chant for Ryan Tillema, though I would honestly have no interest in a player who is so concerned with racial issues to play for UWM. I honestly can't believe coach k made a comment about "social concerns" now that is classless.

Especially because UWM is trying to get parents to bring their kids to these games (I grew up as a Badger fan, only knew UWM existed by name) and become fans, I'd say keep the chants clean (i.e.) no f-bombs. I do like the "chose the wrong school" and chants against the coach.

[coacheinerson]

I've never been a fan of chanting anything with the f-bomb in it, simply because UW does it constantly and it's boring and unimaginative.

You want classless, just look at UIC. They photoshopped Sloth into a UWM cheerleaders uniform. Then they made comments about how it looked like Mikey (our manager).

Unbelievable... I'll take an F-bomb over that anyday.

Kinda makes Big D's post a little hypocritical, doesn't it?

[coacheinerson]

Yeah, made me want to throw up. I tried to give UIC credibility before this thread... but they proved themselves... well, see for yourself.
