I hope this reaches the Grizz Gang leaders for the upcoming season, and maybe this has been posted already: the "poop your pants" chant has to f*cking go. It was gone for a few seasons in between the last NCAA run, but its back now apparently. It has to stop. It isn't clever or creative, and it is embarrassing to the rest of the OU alumni/community. You don't see this at any of the other major programs, let alone mid-majors. Seriously, cut it out. We are better than this.

It doesn't bother me the way it bothers you. Unfortunately our student sections truly lack anything original or unique. The few things we did have back in the mid 2000's have since disappeared. Without something truly unique and special to OU, it will never be great. Merely good.

From my perspective this is 100% on one person in the band. Same person starts it every game and it's always completely stupid.

Without something truly unique and special to OU, it will never be great. Merely good. I would like to see limited mockery of other programs as long it builds a better gameday experience. If we could bring this type of energy (www.youtube.com/watch?v=EuynXDl74qo) to the Orena on gameday i would be ecstatic. Sadly the last 2 years here have lead me to have little faith in the "leaders" of the grizz gang due to their overwhelmingly negative view point that if they don't start it that it is no good. 5 games last year (yes I actually counted) chants started in the back of the section and had 90% student involvement with the 10% being the "leaders" who stood there with their arms crossed. This lack of involvement is what gives the grizz gang a bad rep, and yes there are students who attend games that actually hate the grizz gang.

Word around the supporter realm is that the president of the Grizz Gang is now stepping down. While I am not surprised, partially due to the lack of participation from the supporting board members, I am curious on how that will be handled by the organization. As I am sure many of you will be in attendance at tonight's exhibition game against GVSU, I personally will be at the Oakland Men's soccer HL quarter final match against Green Bay just down the hill. With this being said, if someone wouldn't mind giving a little review on how tonight looks in terms of student participation, turn out, ex. (keeping in mind that it is an exhibition game) that would be much appreciated.

Very good turnout by the Grizz Gang. Impressive for a exhibition game. A bit on the quiet side but considering the pace of the game I guess it isn't surprising.

Awesome! Glad to hear it! They seem to usually put students in the seats early, but the lack activity in the stands that contribute to creating a home court advantage (and having FUN) that concerns me. I'm sure that because it was an exhibition it was quieter, but if the new students aren't having fun early they wont come back. But now that soccer is done it is officially basketball season for me as well!! See y'all tonight!

What sorts of fun are you or other students looking for? I'm sure suggestions are welcome and encouraged.

Hopefully they can stop with the "poop your pants" chant LOL. Maybe I'm just getting old but it just seems completely overplayed and unoriginal.
