Ok, I know there has been some debate about this... I like the idea of the student section starting the game with a chant like this, I don't like the idea of ripping off some other crappy's school's rendition. I don't mean for this to turn into a bashing of the student section, etc. I would like to add, that I, unfortunately, haven't been a student for almost 8 years, so I don't know who organizes this stuff, but I applaud the efforts that they have made with the intro handclap, freethrow disruptions (for the opposing team), and adopting the idea of such a chant.
So, I propose the following... if it is lame (I don't care), it's just a thought and perhaps something to spur the students to come up with something other than Utah State's chant...
Starters: WE
Repeaters: WE
Starters: We ARE
Repeaters: We ARE
Starters: We are MARQUETTE
Repeaters: We are MARQUETTE
Starters: We are MARQUETTE (a little faster)
Repeaters: We are MARQUETTE
Starters: We are MARQUETTE (faster)
Repeaters: We are MARQUETTE
ALL: WE ARE MARQUETTE! WE ARE MARQUETTE! WE ARE MARQUETTE! (getting faster and faster) ....
For some reason, when I think about the students going nuts and jumping around to "We are Marquette" in the beginning of the game, it get's me pumped up...
Something to think about for next season? Either way, let's finish strong, GO MARQUETTE!

That's actually not bad. Of course it requires students to actually be in the building.
-
Would not be opposed to this.
-
Well done, well done indeed.
esard, make it happen for Senior Night.
-
This year, I think it should be...
I KINDA THINK THAT WE MIGHT WIN!
I KINDA THINK THAT WE MIGHT WIN!
I KINDA THINK THAT WE MIGHT WIN!
-
I like it!
-
BTW, are there a bunch of tests and projects due this week that is going to prevent students from coming to the BC tonight? Too cold?
-
New 'Grey's Anatomy' and 'Elementary'. Could suppress the turnout in the student section.
-
Great idea! something needs to change with the current "I believe" chant. I get embarrassed when I hear it.
-

Yes actually. Midterms, are this week and next week. Just sayin. In reference to the OP I really do appreciate your opinion and thank you for actually giving us an idea rather then our friend Sultan here. I think the only thing I would change is in between the "are" and "marquette" we could do the two claps.

The new season of 'Community' starts tonight as well.

Just talked to my sophomore brother who said there's an accounting test tomorrow but it isn't stopping him. Who needs math anyways?

Spanish test for me tomorrow. Gonna end up failing that one...See yall at the BC.

good idea! A unique chant even if it is not the coolest thing in the world would be great.

Beat me to it. Well, not new but returning from the Olympic break. As far as the original idea, a Community-inspired response:

Good stuff, whatever you guys think... unfortunate that the accounting test follows a Thursday night game... I remember the panic surrounding those Friday afternoons... let's hope for a decent turn out tonight

Is MU admin still making you take those accredited accounting courses in the business school? Those were brutal. God speed.

Must have learned all of your quips while killing terrorists in the snow, uphill both ways, in sandstorms using just a toothpick and flying a Wright Flyer, upside down and backwards, with no flaps, while smoking a cigarette, and chewing tobacco... with one hand tied behind your back... thank you for your service...

So, did you wear tights at Cheerleading Camp?

Accounting tomorrow. But jr. will still be at the game I believe.
Edit. Sorry, repeated others.

haha, don't want to go back and forth... just wanted to give you a little jab back... like I said, if people think it is lame, that's cool I don't really care, just interested in coming up with something that is Marquette's, not Utah State's...
to answer your question, no tights... commando... I'm sure you can appreciate that
-
No way. I say we use a Gregorian-style chant version of "Warriors, come out to play-e-ay." Slow and loud, a la "Rock chalk Jayhawk," only without the cheering in between that ruins it (in my opinion). Just the chant would be eerie and unique.

I like that... that is also something that can be done throughout the game out of timeouts, halftime, etc...

It's been done (MSU).
Aside from the parachutes (Craig Pintens skypoint), pretty much everything done at Marquette has been done.

The "YES" chant is simple. Might even get the old folks who are too fashionable to wear gold to join it.

Another cheer that one college did and now high school cheering sections around America have joined in on, let's jump on board behind them! Say it with me everyone, "YES! YES! YES!"
-
I like the "I believe" chant but I cringe when they play "jump around". Copying Utah State doesn't bother me nearly as much as blatantly copying UW.

I'm sorry, but this is a pet peeve of mine. Why is this copying UW? We (along with every other professional sports venue) were playing that song long before it became popular at Camp Randall.
The fact Madison dwellers think people are ripping them off shows how sheltered they are. If jumping around to a song called "Jump Around" is somehow their tradition, it also shows how unoriginal they are. They don't "own" that song any more than some other arena "owns" playing Rock and Roll Part 2.
-
The "I believe" chant gets ruined half of the time when someone scores before the chant can really get going or there is a break in action.
It takes almost a minute until the whole section is chanting it and by then someone has either scored, thrown the ball out of bounce, fouled, etc. The momentum of it goes away before it even starts. Personally, I'm not a fan.
-
Well of of you that arent fans will just have to suck it up and deal with it.
-
Also, an open invitation to all scoopers to come by the student section before the game starts to actually meet us before you bash us again and again and again.....
-
That's what they are saying, I believe? We have never been able to understand what that chant was, thanks, the Mrs. will also be glad to finally know that.

Sorry esard... part of the reason that I did not post this suggestion sooner is for fear that it would turn into a student section bash (though I think that has been somewhat limited in this thread)... I didn't want that to happen...
There are people that have opinions, let them have 'em... At the end of the day, the students have control over the "cheerleading." Again, I appreciate the students and fans that get their early, get their seats, set up the cheers etc. (I used to be one of them). Unfortunately, I can't do that anymore... Just wanted to provide a suggestion, as you (or somebody else) requested in the past. Have fun!

No, I understand completely where youre coming from. I really do appreciate the suggestion. Its some of the other people on the board that irk me. You have been nothing but respectful along with Glow and Chick.

Love this idea for many reasons.
1. Incorporates the late great nickname
2. References an excellent 80s movie
3. Would sound awesome in an arena
I doubt we will ever see this happen because I'm pretty sure most of the current students aren't too familiar with the movie.

All true, but they have really made it their own. Everyone who has gone to a game at Camp Randall talks about it. It's like people associating "All Along the Watchtower" with Jimi Hendrix - it's Bob Dylan's song, but Hendrix took it to another level and became the one known for it. I would just rather we do something different from them.

I don't really buy the accounting exam excuse. Maybe it's because I was a science major, or maybe the fact that I took Accounting as a Junior/Senior as part of a minor played a role, but I always found the accounting exams to be a joke. I got 95+% on every one of those exams without any real studying. Compared to o-chem and p-chem exams (among others) they are a piece of cake.
The only thing remotely intimidating about them were the fact that they ran them like a boot camp.

Spot on. It does bother me that UW fans think the song originated in Camp Randall, but it's theirs now. We should just let them keep it.

That would be awesome, but I think all we'd need to pull this off is the right couple of kids getting on board. They organized I Believe, so this could be done. And the whole crowd could join in once it catches on.

I was an accounting major and tutored intro to accounting. While some kids may not have been as bright as you, it was astounding how many kids came in complaining the night before the test that they did not get it after admitting they hadn't completed the 15 mins of simple hw a night.
Put in that minimum amount of time and maybe four hours the night before/morning of and you have a solid BC if you truly struggle with the subject.

I am a CPA, and I can tell you that accounting is something that you either "get" immediately or you don't, and if you don't, it's hard. My kid is taking accounting this semester and he is struggling with it. It's not that he's not smart; he had a composite ACT in the 30's. He does all the homework and studies hard. His brain is simply not wired that way.
I have a friend whose kid says in his head, he hears rock music when he does accounting. Mine hears a funeral dirge.

It's not your kid's fault... the education model that's been forced on millennials has wired them to memorize facts, definitions, processes, events, theorems, etc.
It used to be the case that we wired kids how to learn... you could cut your study time by 50% or more simply by going to class. I have a good friend who tells the story about how as a 2L he sold back all but one of his textbooks at the end of the year in their original shrink-wrap, yet finished the year in the top 10% of the class; however, this was back in the mid-80s before attendance and classroom participation were part of your grade because you could absorb everything you needed during lectures and labs.

I agree. I have a big vendetta against the high school and college system. I hate GPA, it absolutely estrys students because you cant get into a good college or grad school if you dont have the grades. All schools do now a days is train you to do well for the tests. Its brutal. Honestly, this is one of the reasons I HATE school. I despise GPA and all that it stands for. It bases kids on a number, nothing about themselves. I easily learned the most in the classes ive gotten the worst grades in.

Getting back to the student section, I thought they were good last night. There were multiple times I could hear We Are Marquette through the tv broadcast, loud and clear.

This is where you lost me.
As to the post, based on this year's meme, I propose we shorted it to "WE SLURP!" I mean, no one else has it, right? What's not to like?

So, do away with grades and give everyone a trophy? Your argument makes no sense.

Actually it makes a whole lot of sense. Do away with the grade system and just go pass/fail. If you truly want kids to learn. I just study to memorize. I work the system, which isnt learning.

Thought I would bump this back up with the recent Student Section name discussion and the Marquette Pride posts that have showed up in the last couple of weeks...
I agree that no coach is bigger than the program... I like the Wojo hire... so let's get something in the student section chant at the beginning of the game to remind college basketball that WE ARE MARQUETTE and we aren't going anywhere!

The only pre-game chant back in the day was "The 'Lanche or Hegarty's?" as people walked down Wells to the Arena. And the "Give 'em hell, AL!" guy.
Frankly, that still ranks as the greatest pre-game chant ever. A darkened Arena. 11,000 people standing in silence. The last notes of the Star Spangled Banner giving way to four words that captured the Zeitgeist of Marquette. The essence of an outlook, a temperament, a demeanor, a spirit, and an ethos. There will never be anyone to rival Al and nothing to compare with that invocation. Nothing.
-
Keefe
The dark arena and the give em hell, Al was the best ever. Set the tone for the night each and every time.
-
it was the perfect prelude to the 'war' drums.
-
Augoman
The war drums definitely set the stage for the evening. To me the darkness of the seating area of arena enhanced the atmosphere as well.
-
true that, Goose..., the arena was the perfect setting for bball with the 'center stage' lighting and the dark seating area. Hell, you can read a book during a game in the BC. Not a bad seat in the arena. Smallish, but would have been a good investment for MU to buy- save a ton of $$ on rent, play in Marquette Arena, blue and gold neon running around the building, loud as hell during a game, more comfortable seating, rent it out when off-season. I think it would have paid for itself and been a true asset to the school. I can hear the drums now...

Thought I would bump this up now that a new season is approaching and a new era is upon us... student section, any thoughts to change things up this year? I am pumped for this new era of MU Bball... seems like Wojo has us on track for big things... now is as good of a time as ever to get some new, unique cheers rolling...

For this old fart who graduated 45 years ago what is the "I believe" cheer?

If the student section wants to keep the same rhythm I would change it to:
Go
Go Marquette
Go Marquette, beat
Go Marquette, beat the
Go Marquette, beat the ___ ___ (Hoyas, Badgers, change it every game to the correct opponent).

Not bad, but might get awkward with nicknames that have more than 2 syllables like the Xavier Musketeers or the NJIT Highlanders (whom we play this season). And of course North Dakota, which now officially has no nickname.

I currently work at a school with very lame yells (we don't cheer because that's for cheerleaders). Here is one of ours:
Farmers fight!
Farmers fight!
Fight! Fight!
Farmers farmers fight!
Eh Whoop!
Pretty lame looking at it on paper. What makes it awesome is that literally everyone in Kyle Field, alumni and all, are screaming it at the top of their lungs. The words don't matter, it's the fact that is done in unison. If people got over the "this wasn't what Marquette did when I was a student" mentality, we could create a really awesome tradition.
Here are the rest of our yells, just to show you how lame they look on paper. But go to an Aggie football game, they will blow you away.

And that video is from the "Midnight yell practice" the night before the game. It's even louder during the actual game. And if you look closely, you can actually spot TAMU Eagle in the crowd!

It would if we were Utah st
I couldn't agree more!
It's awful.

I like the "I believe" chant.
The "we are...", "jump around" and seven nation army chants are also rip offs. So is raising your arms during free throws.
I hope the season gets here soon.

Yeah pretty much everything's a rip off of someone else now days. I think it was better when we were pretty much invincible at home but oh well.

Fair enough... it's one thing to play a popular song to pump up the crowd (which isn't really under the control of the students), it's another to blatantly rip off a unique cheer and make it your own... I understand the WE ARE thing isn't unique, and actually I thought it was a bit ridiculous the first couple of games that I went to as a freshman, but obviously that cheer isn't going anywhere...
on a related note, Wisconsin claiming that Jump Around is "theirs" is the dumbest thing I have ever heard (or any school claiming that a popular song is "theirs")... no matter where you play "jump around," people are going to "jump around," whether that is in Kamp Randall, the Bradley Center, or I don't know... ANY OTHER STADIUM/ARENA IN THE WORLD!

I currently work at a school with very lame yells (we don't cheer because that's for cheerleaders). Here is one of ours:
Farmers fight!
Farmers fight!
Fight! Fight!
Farmers farmers fight!
Eh Whoop!

Didn't know you worked at the UW School
Of Agriculture.

If the alumni would get up off their sweater vests and join in the I Believe chant, it would be bad ass.
FWIW, we had the same complaints 30 years ago. Student section actually used to boo the alumni.

Which is why MU needs to continue to lead in the one tradition where we've long been the cutting edge, and others follow us: uniform designs.

Bumping this thread is just opening a can of worms. Nobody ever wins.

"I believe" was worn out during the World Cup. I agree that a unique chant is preferable, and that the words are less important than the participation.

Its the exact same number of syllables, flows well, is MU specific, and is awesome. I've been suggesting it since they started it, but alas, I graduated 2 years too early to get the movement going.

Bring back the drums! That would be a start

Anyone know if glass bottles are allowed in the Bradley Center?
-
It's still a rip off if you change the words, just worse. Either get something totally original or continue to shamelessly rip it off verbatim.
-
When MU goes on a run and you can tell the players are pumped you should start chanting "slap the floor! slap the floor!"

So much this. I would love to see it happen.

You said it yourself. There isn't a cheer that is unique.

Nahhh, im just sick of defending it from sweater vest wearers like people on this site. Still haven't heard any better ideas.

Now that I'm part of the "sweater" crowd I'll let you know how it looks from the other side of the spectrum but keep in mind I was all for it when I was a student.

Keefe's favorite chant from his Harvard days is currently in disuse and available.
"Dispense with these wretched curs!"
"Dispense with these wretched curs!"
"Dispense with these wretched curs!"
Dispense!!!

I am all for dumping stupid chants regardless if they are original or copied from a low major program...

What are your alternatives? Do you want us to be silent during the game?
-

Right. Because everything has to be original.
Man, sometimes fans can be such a downer.

No need to defend it, it is a great idea to get a cheer going at the start of the game... you repeatedly have asked for some suggestions, that was the purpose of this thread, and the purpose of bumping it... if you or your group of students don't change it, it doesn't matter to me... I just was trying to provide some suggestions that you frequently would request when trying to defend the cheer to the alums...
Obviously, like you said, it is pointless to have such discussions on this board because it inevitably turns into student/alum bashing... So, screw it, either way, GO MARQUETTE! Let's just keep it coming with the new/old stuff
You said it yourself. There isn't a cheer that is unique.
I don't know where in there I said that there isn't a cheer that is unique... I said playing a popular song isn't unique, but that's pretty obvious from the use of "popular song"... I also so the We Are isn't unique... so that must mean that "no cheer is unique"... I should get you a "jump to conclusions" mat

"Fly is open. Let's go Peay."
'Nuff said.

I think you misread my post - I said "I am all for dumping stupid chants regardless if they are original or copied from a low major program..."
and for alternatives - why do we need a chant to start a game?

Because then people complain the students don't do anything during the game. It's a lose lose. I for one would totally be in favor of a unison "Give em hell wojo" yell.

I still think we need to adopt the flares and hooliganism seen in greek league basketball.
