Nathan Carleton was right in his Feb. 9 column, "Little bags filled with flour: The future of the Cameron Crazies." The Cameron Crazies really need to step it up. Let's face it. The chants in Cameron are painfully unoriginal. They all basically go to the same rhythm.
I remember the good old days of Wisconsin Badger football games. Here are a couple fan favorite cheers: Suppose a player on the opposing team gets hurt. You chant, "Shoot him like a horse!" I tried this one last year at a game in Cameron, but the people around me thought I was insane.You need to share the love with your fellow fans, so between student sections (we could do this between the undergrad and grad sections in Cameron), you chant back and forth, "F@# you!"..."Eat S#&!" Say an opposing player makes a turnover. It's nice to point out the mistake to him, so you chant, "You F#$%ed up!"That's what makes Madison the best college sports town, according to Sports Illustrated, and took us to three Rose Bowl victories in the past ten years. Maybe that's what Duke needs to put up another banner in the rafters this year.
