One of the cooler things I've seen in a while. The entire arena doing it at half was awesome, then the student section did it during Ohio State free throw attempts, although the No! Chant might have been more appropriate. Somewhere Bryan Danielson is smiling.
Maybe our Student Section can get a Cena Sucks chant going.

Maybe our students can copy the MSU chant like they copied the stupid Utah State chant.

No! No! No!
I actually thought it was a pretty stupid chant. Yeah, it gets the whole arena going, but it's just silly. It's a three letter word, repeated over and over. Not particularly unique, creative, or relevant to the Spartans in any shape way or form. If anyone knows the history of the chant, why it started or when it's usually used, that may sway my opinion.
But if I was to walk to a MSU game as a complete bystander and a neutral party, I wouldn't really know what to think of it. MSU has a great student section, but that "yes" cheer is really lacking.

I would recommend typing Daniel Bryan in You Tube, and you may feel swayed (or not).
Well, I guess the Yes! chant might be better than yelling Automatic while Davante is shooting free throws...

I thought it was the football team leading it, and took it to mean that it was a pregame thing they did. For example, similar to what Drew Brees does in a the huddle before games.
I loved it. Who cares if saying YES isn't Spartan-specific. It got the whole crowd rocking and they had fun with it. The louder the crowd, the better the home court advantage is. Do your thing, Sparty.
We can't even get our whole crowd to wear gold....

As an adopted Sparty (during football season only, of course), I can assure you there is a pretty funny back story to the chant.
I am unsure if this link which is for mobile devices will work, but I can tell you the guy leading the chant is featured in this clip.

You can also search YouTube for "Travis Jackson Big Ten Network" and you will find the clip. Anyway, what started out as a joke was adopted by MSU fans throughout the course of this magical Rose Bowl season. The chant was unleashed in Pasadena at the Rose Bowl a few times too.

Would be a lot easier if we were the Marquette Gold.

At least

I guess if your ability to think for yourself is limited to picking out what color shirt to wear, then it's probably good to exercise your brain on that one issue.
Most of us have plenty to think about already...so giving in to a preferred shirt color to help motivate the team isn't such a big sacrifice.

Who said independent thought is limited to shirt color? I certainly didn't. You can't even think beyond one example.
As for a team needing motivation based purely on the color of a shirt... get a clue, man. The color of your shirt has zero outcome on the game. ZERO.
"Pray!" "Pray!" "Pray!" "Pray!" "Pray!"
might be a dumb chant started by a bad wrestler, but it sure did fire up the crowd and got the arena rocking. Something the Bradly Center could use more of.

that and more made three-point shots by the home team.

If we're pointing fingers, then it's the alumni that are lacking. The stadium wasn't even full for tip-off against Ohio State. It ended up filling quite nicely, but to have empty seats at the lower bowl at tip-off is really bad.
Step it up, alumni

EDIT: But color doesn't help as much as noise. Just stating an observation. Don't mean to start a war against the Alumni base. I like the pray and repent idea. We should all get holy water and sprinkle it when shouting "Repent".

I don't know why so many people get so negative about chants. They are fun and increase the home court advantage

Chanting is fine. I just don't think we should mimic another school.
People like to criticize the non-student section for being less raucous. But when I think back to my time at the Arena we made more than enough noise and paid little attention to anything the alums were doing or not. One of the funniest moments, though, was some game where there were hundreds of priests sitting together forming a sea of black. When the student section began chanting "Bull Sheet" about some call against Marquette the assembled fathers joined in with gusto. A damned fine moment.
