Make them quit with the Blue/White chant when we’re on defense!!

 

[Beatle Bum]

No

 

[TroutBum]

Yes, it does little to nothing to mess with the opponents ability to call plays.

It results in more positive plays (and 1st downs) for the opposing team, I swear. I do not mind the action of the chant, just the overwhelming negative results for our defense. I know it really has nothing to do with the play, but it has long been a weird coincidence. I simply refuse to participate!

I would sign the petition!

Also, I am anti-wave at professional baseball games. So, bah humbug!

It's "gay af". Always has been. Next they'll want to stay doing "Two Bits" again

Keep the chant and get rid of the whiners.

I like the chant, but it’s more suited for something like a coach’s timeout in my opinion. Continuous crowd noise (with the decibel meter) is more effective at throwing off the opposing offense.

 

[Pensacola_Cat_Fan]

Totally agree!

Disagree. When I had season tickets and we had a big game, that chant could be powerful. It’s good in the mix and some people who never yell will yell for that chant.

Blue white chant started last night:

penalty 1st play from Vandy
Turnover very next play

I’m confused

If you pay close attention, the OP is right. UK very frequently gives up a big play following the blue/white chant. Has been the case for a long time

Big play? Meaning what?
Sure they may give up 10-12 yard pass or whatever, but it’s football. That’s what happens. Do you have an example of a “big play” during or after the blue white chant?

Play more "long way to the top if you want to rock and roll" you know for old timers sake

 

[bigblueinsanity (the real)]

My complaint is why have a tradition that only activates half the crowd at a time? It does get loud but only half as loud as a full stadium chant or cheer.

Just another in a long line of weird stadium traditions over the years. Cotton eyed joe, Grove Street, and Blue/white.

Major kudos this year to whoever is running the gameday experience. Its infinitely better than before. The walkout, fourth quarter, music selection, all yourn, etc is by far the best experience in my decades of attending.

If you pay close attention, UK has always given up big plays, with our without the chant, especially on 3rd and long.
