Glad someone caught this on video, pretty impressive. Hopefully next year the students can build on this and come up more chants.

Thanks for sharing, Grad!
Just posted it on my Facebook page. I was there and the students were absolutely awesome. We brought two newly-admitted students with us to the game, and I think this game closed the deal.
Impressive. Who gives a damn if Utah State invented it, it still looks good when the MU students do it. Better than ya know, not making any noise. Nice job, Militia (trying out PTM's suggestion). Also loved how loud it got in the first half when Devante' entered, and each time he scored or pulled down a board. A definite fan favorite.
That was awesome! I got goosebumps watching it. Proud to be a Golden Eagle!
very nice. i missed the first few min of the game, how did it look on TV?
I thought it was fantastic live. Only thing that stopped it was a MU made basket! ;)
Outstanding!! I hope we continue with this. It looks great and created tremendous energy. I wonder what the team thought as that has never happened before.
Congrats to all of the students and, in particular, to those that drove the bus (literally and figuratively!). That was really cool and a damn impressive accomplishment in such a short time frame.
Kudos to the guys that coordinated it and stuck with it despite being ridiculed by several on this board. I've seen it at several high school and college games and thought it energized the stadium/gym every time. That was awesome today. Kudos to the students. They brought it today. What a fun game.

Very well done. Hope this is something of a regular fixture going forward like the slow clap at the beginning of games.
Absolutely great! Keep it up.

It's an old chant. I believe that we will win, I believe that we will win. I believe that we will win.
Here is Utah State doing it

MU students did a nice job. Some of the best ideas are stolen. People need to deal with it. Just like the big heads, which some guys here get all upset about because those were stolen. Pick a belief and stick with it, don't change it because of who the head coach was at the time. If it gets the students involved, then we should be happy.
That was legendary. But I thought the "hey,.....you suck" cheer was better.
We do the Hey you suck chant every game. Im glad we switched up the opening though. Ive always wanted to do the I believe chant. What a great way to end the regular season.
Makes me wish I was 24 years younger. Man I am pumped!
Utah State perfected it, but Navy started it:

Chills.
For the first time the cheer was brought to the crowd, it could not have been more perfectly executed...well done Spence, Joey, Jim, and all students!
In the other thread, numerous people suggested a chant of ' Let's Go Warriors'...the students must have been reading, because I heard it at least 5 times today.
The students finally brought it today, and as a result, the entire lower bowl had more energy and noise than I've seen/heard from them all year...it's clear that the rest of the fans feed off of them.
For those students reading, remember this for next year: We NEED you to show up for EVERY game.
I loved the "you suck" chant today. Maybe because it was my last ever as a student, but I enjoyed every rude moment of it. I think only Vs. the Fadgers was better 08-09. Thank you marquette for 4 great years, and to all students returning next year...

Coach Buzz mentioned in his post game comments that the crowd was special today. He said he is normally immune to that sort of stuff but even he felt the energy today. Congrats to the students for being the 6th man. (thx for posting the vid too).

Amen! Students dictate the atmosphere at the BC. Incredible job...only wish this game was on national tv.
Love the Marquette Militia. Best idea by far.
The best chant yesterday was when you could hear the students yell Warriors!!!!
Awesome all around. Makes me jealous that I never got a game of that level as a student.

More than a few of those started out as "F the Hoyas" chants from the upper deck and turned into "let's go warriors" by the time the lower bowl joined in.

Note to students: F the Hoyas chant was a terrible, classless chant. I guarantee you, 90% of the non-students all were thinking the same thing: Please stop, you are embarrassing Marquette and yourselves. -- Oh, and in 10 years, you'll be thinking the same thing.

Agreed. When I heard it I thought it was kinda classless, but then my brain just translated it to "F the lawyers" and suddenly I was okay with it.

The upper section seemed to start it and (like said earlier), the lower bowl was having none of it. Now if it was F the Irish or F Digger then maybe....

Agree, no need for that. If it's F the Badgers that's cool though. But that's the only one.
I know a lot of people (myself included) have been bummed at the lack of students at some of the games this season, but I thought the crowd was awesome yesterday. One question.... at the start of the game, the students were jumping and chanting and from where my wife and friends sit (opposite side), it looked awesome... anyone know what exactly they were chanting (was so loud we couldn't really make it out)
On to NYC. Fire Up Marquette!
It's something Utah State students started. "I believe that we will win."

Agree with all of this. Great energy shown by the students. I would never have thought they'd pull it off. Great job.
Oh, and F the Badgers and the Irish.
That is just, Jae-mazing. Thanks for filling me in!
Was at the game and was surprised but thoroughly enjoyed the several "WARRIORS-WARRIORS-thump, thump, thump-thump-thump" cheers that were initiated at points during the game.
For sure on those occasions, both upper and lower bowls, students, alumni and other attendees participated. Yeah, the students brought the energy, but on Saturday they had a lot of accomplices in their energy based on the cheers that were being chanted. What a great bridge between students and alums. It should be a regular chant at all BC games going forward. 18,000 bellowing that cheer can intimidate opponents. Have seen it happen (albeit in in 11,000 capacity MECCA). Sorry, but for those who think otherwise, that is never going away.
Simply put, "GOLDEN EAGLES-GOLDEN EAGLES" just doesn't roll off the tongue and fit that pulsating cheer like the original, 50+ years (since 1954) after it was first heard at Marquette games. I guess that is why we don't hear it.

. Are you sure it wasn't "let's
Go Warriors"? Still sounds light years better than "let's go Golden Eagles"
the you suck chant was not directed towards g'town. The first part of it was directed towards a person in a suit on their bench, where when they hit a 3 in the first half he stood up, turned right to us and put up the 3 goggles. The second half of the "you suck" chant was directed at Pat Driscoll (the referee)
We were not saying F the Hoyas. It sounded really similar because I too though that thats what people were saying but it wasnt. It started with a B or something but I couldnt completely make it out. But definitely not F the Hoyas.

+1.....the same group also was also doing the "automatic " bs when DG was shooting FTs. That really needs to stop.
The only negative in an otherwise awesome showing by the students!!!
No Lighthouse--I'm not sure...Either way (and it may have been that both were used) I was keyed into the "Warriors" part. My surprise was that I thought any reference to the proud tradition was taboo in this sensitive to all--and submissive to many--era.
And I don't think that I would be alone in suggesting that some Warriors reference, using either cheer, would be embraced in future home games.
And I'm not saying that our old name should come back (though I among many would be delighted). I'm just saying that it is never going away. Let's recognize and embrace that--together.

Upper deck started it. I was right next to the student section. I didn't like it but oh well.
By the way, I was next to a big group of G Town fans. They were really super A Holes. They would get into random people's faces and talk crazy trash. I thought OSU fans are the worst, but now they have competition.
Ya shoulda just talked trash back in Hungarian.
Okay, props. That actually looked and sounded cool. Nice work!

It definitely was the strongest "let's go Warriors" chant in the three years that I have been a season ticket holder. And what really surprised me was that the cheerleaders joined in. I assume that they are supposed to ignore any "inappropriate" chants started by the crowd.
a GT fan who at the game posted this on another board:
"Their student section is one of the best I have ever experienced."
when the students show up, it does make a difference.

"Let's go Warriors" has been chanted at just about every MU game as long as I can remember. Yesterday's was certainly a strong one though.

the cheerleaders do not chant "let's go warriors." they chant "let's go marquette" but we change it into let's go warriors every time it gets chanted

Well, you can't tell the difference from where I was sitting!
Didn't seem to interfere with your observations of Ox.
It was really awesome, but it is a rip off. I like the cadence of it a lot, and the whole idea, but at the beginning of games I humbly submit that the students chant "Warriors come out to play" it has the same amount of syllables, is marquette specifc, time specific for the start or the game, and would probably be all kinds of awesome.

PLus it doesn't have that wishy washy believe stuff in there.
I'm kind of sad there's no more games this year to try it. It has warriors in it, so the administration won't use its massive email list to promote it, but if this i believe chant catches on for next year, the student section could easily ignore it and use the cadence with the new words. Word gets out enough i think it could become really cool.
"WARRRRRRIORS COME OUT TO PLAY!"
Ever since the renaming fiasco with Gold, I wanted them to change to an urban version of Warriors. When the players come out, get the bottles clinking, then start in with the creepy "Warriors, come out to play"...I agree that would be awesome.

It's the student section, not the "alumni suggestion section". The kids should do whatever they want.
A lot of alumni doubted what they could do on Saturday, so we are the last people that should be making suggestions on what they should/shouldn't be doing.

Not really my intention of the post there, but if they're looking suggestions there's a lot of time spent on the board with completely useless topics. Suggestions don't hurt.
Serious question. How long is that chant supposed to continue? Say we lose the tip, or miss our first shot. Is there a time limit? Does it go until we score? Just curious.

I understand, but, look no further than the thread discussing/promoting the "new" cheer. If the students took the alumni suggestions, they wouldn't have done anything because a lot of people here were calling it a rip-off, lame, and uncreative, etc. etc.
Alumni (including me) are prone to poo-pooing anything new because "back in our day yadda yadda yadda"
Students shouldn't listen to us. I know alumni think that they should because we have some sort of magical wisdom... but when it comes to "cheering", the students should do that on their own. They don't need our help, and Saturday proved that definitively.

There was a 8 page thread crapping on the idea and they pulled it off. The internet geniuses (including me) doubted they could do it, and we were wrong.
Seems stupid to say that we should make some suggestions for future cheers, no?
The kids who came up with the idea(s) should be brainstorming some new ideas because obviously they have a much better understanding of the student section than the alumni on the internet.

Agree. Let them do what they want, which might not actually involve obsessing over a nickname that now hasn't existed since before some of them were born. My suggestion to other alumni is to bring an extra gold or blue shirt to give to the 4-5 idiots that continue to wear red in the lower bowl, looking like absolute morons. You can spot them on the video here without difficulty.

Who was the young woman wearing a red dress that appeared to be a Marquette employee?
True story: a neighbor of mine picked up a part time job at the athletic office. Her first day on the job was a rather cold winter morning. She wore a red sweater. Cords kicked her out of the office, told her to go home and change, and to never wear red in the athletic office again.

That kicks ass. Damn right Cords!
So, yes, this is a fan site, not a student site. However I would like to make a suggestion to those students that might read this thread:
Why not assemble a group of like-minded students and start an official Spirit Club (although I am sure you kids could come up with a hipper name)? It would only take 1-2 dozen of you to meet from time to time, brainstorm cheer and chant ideas, come up with the choreography, spread yourselves through the student section on gameday, and get them going. There are many students who might not have the time or the inclination to be official members, but I bet 99% of those at the game would follow along once the cheer gets going. You could even set up a web or Facebook page where you post the cheers ahead of time for the rest of the student body.
Look at what happened when a couple of guys came up with an idea 24 hours before game time with no real implementation strategy. What would it be like if there was formal planning?
Just an idea........

There was something similar to this my freshman year at MU (98-99) but it disappeared by soph year. The team stunk and there was no Facebook, Twitter, etc so that didn't help. Given how easy it is to "reach the masses" today, I'd be surprised if something like this doesn't spring up again.

You can spot them on the video here without difficulty.
Agree, except for the girl in the pink sports bra they showed on TV. She looked amazing.

So if it doesn't happen at every game it makes what happened on Sat. less impressive? C'mon.
There was a 8 page thread crapping on the idea and they pulled it off. The internet geniuses (including me) doubted they could do it, and we were wrong.
Seems stupid to say that we should make some suggestions for future cheers, no?
The kids who came up with the idea(s) should be brainstorming some new ideas because obviously they have a much better understanding of the student section than the alumni on the internet.
+1. Could not have said it better myself....
Student: We want to do this cheer
Old Farts: You don't want to do that cheer. That will never work. Back in the day...
<cheer works well>
Old Farts: Well, that was pretty nice! Now, here's how you can improve it...

Cords would not allow anything red into the office....down to the paper clips and m&m's....true story.
So you're saying that Cords was the Van Halen of Athletic Directors?

It was really awesome, but it is a rip off. I like the cadence of it a lot, and the whole idea, but at the beginning of games I humbly submit that the students chant "Warriors come out to play" it has the same amount of syllables, is marquette specifc, time specific for the start or the game, and would probably be all kinds of awesome. PLus it doesn't have that wishy washy believe stuff in there.
I'm kind of sad there's no more games this year to try it. It has warriors in it, so the administration won't use its massive email list to promote it, but if this i believe chant catches on for next year, the student section could easily ignore it and use the cadence with the new words. Word gets out enough i think it could become really cool.
"WARRRRRRIORS COME OUT TO PLAY!"
Well, couldn't they officially have it as "MARQUETTE COME OUT TO PLAY" (same number of syllables again) to get the administration behind it and emailing it out to everyone but then have it unofficially known that it would be "WARRIORS COME OUT TO PLAY" when actually chanting it?

I like the way you think.

It's slightly different syllable wise (warr-i-ors vs. marrrrrrrr - quette) but close enough to work. ok, everybody remember this for next year. I know i will.
