I have little faith that Ricks Rowdies will have anything special for AK and the Rebs. However, maybe they'll step up to the plate and surprise me.
What does Rick's Rowdies have in store for OM when they come to the Hump?

The Arab headdress thing would probably be a really bad idea. Outside of that, I'm sure that something will be said or done. We had fans calling Huggins an alcoholic when he came to Oxford, and we don't have any reason to have animosity toward the guy.
I even think my earlier suggestions are as funny as any of these.
I do think, however, you guys should police the Arab head dress thing. There is nothing like reinforcing the stench of racism and believe me, outside of the Ark-La-Miss area, nobody will get it and will simply see it as an extension of what they already believe about the South.
I personally think the limp penis **** must be driving him crazy.

Because after sitting with and around them at the games, I think that many of them almost have no clue about anything related to basketball. They just like showing up and yelling out all of those annoying cheers and making up bad nicknames for the players and yelling whenever someone dunks it or makes a three.
would something like that happen. They'll probably stick to something easy to chant like "smack that cabbie" or "try viagra" (clap, clap, clapclapclap).

***. Drummer i couldn't agree with you more, the rowdies, I don't think have a clue at all as to what is goin on. They have consistently made me want to vomit for Stan's entire tenure. I seriously believe if state were to pick candidates for a Quidditch team, they all would be over-qualified. Also on a personal note, I took extreme enjoyment in water ballooning them the night before the Bama game some years ago.
all the rick's rowdies do is steadily de-value those new courtside tickets, week-in and week-out. I don't know how they come up with those annoying chants and verbal diarrhea, but someone has to stop it, how has the ninja not fixed this yet?
Whatever they do, don't be surprised if it gets shut down by someone from the athletic department. A couple of years ago, when we played Bama at home on CBS, a friend of mine decided to wear his <span style="font-style: italic;">Buck Fama</span> shirt to the game. We were both lucky enough to make into the Rowdies' section, right behind the announcers. Then some two hours before the game started, some wet blanket that works for the athletic department told him that he wasn't allowed to wear the shirt. After a little arguing with the guy, my friend was given the ultimatum to turn the shirt inside-out or to be escorted out of the Hump. Needless to say he wasn't going to lose his seat after camping outside the hump the night before in extremely cold weather. Anyway, it was total ********.
As was well known, LT and Stansbury didn't get along. Stansbury started the Rowdies and uses his personal finances to throw parties/buy pizza for them. LT wanted to get rid of the Rowdies. Obviously Stans loves them for the support and noise (even if what they say is annoying). They may be idiots but these idiots help us create a homecourt advantage.

No doubt after a complaint from 89 year old Eula Mae Ida from Fumduck, Mississippi, who complains that, "Ah've been goin' to Bulldog baskeball games since ah had a crush on that theah cheeahleaduh |John Stennis, and ah nevuh hoid such VULGARITY!!"dgsmith15 said:
Don't think it can't happen. When I was in school, our mike man (before they banned mikes for cheerleaders during games) had the student section chanting, "HE GOT HIS BELL RUNG! HE GOT HIS BELL RUNG!" after our linebacker de-cleated someone, then was chanting, "Bull-dog! Bull-dog!" when we were shouting "********! ********!" after a bad call. Well, the next week the Athletic Department got a bunch of phone calls and nasty letters from old ladies who complained about the vulgarity of the Mike man (dude was from New Jersey, and didn't think nothing of it). The mike man forgot that Mississippi State is supposed to be a *****-assed fan base who sits there and takes it from everybody else.
and if you dont like what the rowdies do, why dont you get up off your *** and suggest something new or start a new chant?
If you dont have anything new, and just want to rip people who auctually are the diehards of the group then your an idiot and dubmass.
I know its the cool thing to hate on the rowdies around here, but if you have ideas toss them this way..
We have added several new cheers this season, and continue to try new ideas.
A lot of the ideas in this thread have already been discussed, and will be worked on.
My favorite from the beginning has been doing "you've lost that loving feeling" during pre-game.
and sorry but I or anyone else from the lower couple rows wont be throwing any blue pills or condoms on the court,
we arent duke, maryland, or some other school that can get away with that ****..
Sure, some of the group are a little over-zealous and dont have the best basketball IQ, but they up and cheering.

Ok, who's responsible for letting a rowdie on this site? Is HD6 still taking donations for banishment?
to have free transportation to the road games (Stans chartered a bus) and because I could get their 10 minutes before tipoff and be in the first five rows. I didn't wear a T-shirt at the home games but would wear a "Road Warrior" T-shirt at the road games.
Now...that was the one and only year I did it. I got tired of being grinded by the fat chicks during the game.

The main things that the rowdies do that I disagree with are the "This is *clap clap* our house *clap clap*" cheer, the horrible nicknames, the noise during the free throws, and the general lack of knowledge of the game of basketball. The hands up for the home team free throws are fine, as is the maroon-white cheer, the de-fense cheer, and the big finger is funny. As far as anything "new," I don't know what new types of things really need to be added. I just wish the majority of the folks would learn about the game of basketball. I think that would help the atmosphere quite a bit, actually.
I couldn't agree more with you drummer. "This is our house" crap is absolutely horrible, but I think what is the worst about the rowdies is that they think they are like duke and north carolina because when state makes a good basket or is on a streak about 5 of the "rowdies" start to jump up and down like this is cameron indoor or something. It is ridiculous to watch. So whoever that rowdie is that responded on this thread tell your friends to stop being idiots and just cheer for our dogs.
Ok, point by point.
What is wrong with having a chant about having pride in defending your home court? especially when the team goes on a big run. To each their own though. Not everyone will like all the cheers understandable.
Which nicknames are so horrible? Swat? Double Duece (Barry stewart is #22) or Stew, 3-D ( Dee Bost #3) or Da Boss, Ray-Ray for Ravern,...
A lot of the names were given to us by the players.
Are you really complaining about people doing random stuff during an oppenent shooting free throws? Well **** ill tell everyone to sit on their hands and shut up from now on..
And lastly, sure there might be a lack of basketball knowledge by some in the group.. but every game they learn more.

If you dont like acting crazy and looking like "an idiot" then dont...damn i forgot the cool kids said you shouldnt jump around.
Hate for us to ever be compared to either of those student groups, Geez.....we arent worthy..why try.

but they make it nearly impossible. the rowdies on the first two rows should have to take basic basketball iq tests in order to retain seats each year. until then, or signs of improvement, listening to the rowdies will continue to be the equivalent of having teeth pulled
print out pictures of "Smiling Bob" and cut eye holes in them to wear as masks.
It would be hilarious if AK walked out to about 100 "Smiling Bobs" in the stands!
GO DAWGS!

I was just watching the Kansas - Texas A&M game and the Kansas student section had big printoffs of Cole Aldrich's head. So instead of chanting the nicknames after each player scores or makes a big play, use a big printoff of each player's face instead.
Note: This is not a joke, I would actually like this much better than the nicknames.

I like the idea, but since im not near a tv at this moment i have some questions.
Is Aldrich's the only one who has a printoff? and when they held the printoff up did they not chant his name or a nickname? surely the crowd didnt just go quiet?
Good idea on the signs though, can you tell if they were made by the students, or was it something done by marketing as a give away?
If anything like that is done with the rowdies, it will be an individual effort, as the leadership within is still screwed up.

Download a press guide for the next team you play. Have a committee find their strengths and weaknesses. Find something you can mock a player or coach about (See, I gave you about 4 or 5 just off the top of my head, and I'm an old fart with no imagination).
Surely you have some Liberal Farts majors who'd have plenty of time to study up on this, so the engineering students can simply read the handout, put on the masks, buy the prison garb, and slather each other backs with body paint.
Study Duke's Cameron Crazies. Those guys have actually done studies of what works best to disrupt a free throw.....the best method is absolute quiet while the shooter comes to the line and dribbles the ball (and, no, do NOT count the number of times they bounce the ball dubmasses), followed by a spontaneously loud yell just as he looks up to shoot the ball.
Of course, being a Ricks Rowdy, you're probably saying, "Thas thar's too hard fer me. I's kin barely waap mah *** with that thar newfangled toilet paper stuff" and you'll do the standard "ONE TWO THREE FOUR FIVE....WEEEEEEEEEEEE!" followed by silence after he makes the free throw.

As best I could tell Aldrich was the only one with the printoff and I think it's a student made thing because it was pretty big and I doubt anyone would give away such a large object as a promo or something. Also, I couldn't tell if they were chanting his name or anything, but it seemed as though it was just normal cheering for a good play so they weren't quiet by any means. I don't mind nicknames for people, I just don't like the chanting of the nicknames. Maybe I'm in the minority on that topic but I do like the signs.
Mutt, im so glad you used your common sense and pointed out all that. I've never heard of this google thing.
Now come wipe my *** for me..
Seriously, we do look for things to use against a player or coach..but sometimes there isn't a lot to be found.
and sometimes there are limits we run against, seriously one of the "administrators" of the hump keeps a close eye on the group and has even told us not to say "sucks" this year.
And in my spare time, I have researched many of the different student sections, trying to find out their structure, and ideas to make ours better.. (Florida, Michigan State, and Illinois are some of the best)
Frankly, the whole makeup of the organization sucks but I'm not getting into that here. The core of the group is about 50 people who actually care, and we aren't hard to find at a game.
Ill look for that study you mention from duke, many people follow that example. but not everyone because most of the people in the group pay their $10 just to get a shirt and don't care about the group.and i really dont blame them.
Now go sit down and sit on your hands you old fart.

I have the game on now, and if its the same heads they just showed when coming back from halftime, they had one for almost everyone on the team it looked...cut in the shape of head. nice looking.
I'll agree with you on the chanting of names kinda, some people have started doing that this season when a player makes a basket, I like it when it is a big play..but only do it a couple times,
they are doing it a good 5 times, and the shot clock is almost over for the other team. that is stupid.
I'll see is we can get some facial pics or something we could blow up, but since all of this is done by individuals instead of the group it starts adding up.
