[QUOTE="Ulysses Everett McGill, post: 1326009, member: 327307"] Yeah, losing seasons and half full stadiums, that's what the other poster meant by traditions. If/when we ever start winning games, after decades of horse bleep football, let's blow off all or much of what the (many multiple generations of) fans who have actually attended games and supported the school's team through all those years hold dear. Shove a new mascot and new cheers and chants down their throats, tell 'em what's OK to cheer and when right on the scoreboard, what music is Ok to play and how to react to it. If they don't like it they can leave cuz we'll have so many new fans to replace them coming from ... somewhere, plus we'll have a new culture! It'll be great. [/QUOTE]
