Can we talk about what happened last night in Hoover?

No, not the baseball game. That was a heck of a lot of fun.

What I'm talking about is The Candyman. Late in the game, when we broke it open, he saw fit to yell what sounded like "What's your name?"* To which others responded "Haaaail State!"

Seriously, what the hell was that?

*That's what it sounded like to me. If it was something less horrible I apologize. A cheer in that style could be really cool if it caught on- we don't have a ton of variety in our cheers.

I couldn't tell what the first part of his cheer was either, but it was pretty terrible. I had to explain who he was to a non-MSU fan with me after he wouldn't shut up, and they just laughed at him.

He's one of the reasons my kids love coming to State games, so the guy's alright with me.

The guy's all right with me, too. But what on earth would prompt you to shout "What's your name? Hail State!"

How would you prefer him to cheer?

Something that makes a little bit of sense? Look, I'm not chastising the guy for cheering, just trying to figure out what the hell the cheer was about.

I get what you're saying. Just hard for me to criticize someone cheering, especially someone who is at every game for practically every sport.

2 bits 4 bits 6 bots a dollar, all for the bulldogs, stand up and holler - Hail State!

*****


do sarcasterisks cancel each other out at some number, like double negatives in English?

Personally, I enjoy a nice retro-cheer like two bits.
