Let's get some tradition this year

[Gambit]

A group of fans who play instruments sit together and form a Cardinals Pep Band. Beloved by everyone except those sitting directly in front.

Abomb bought some of these little megaphones for less than a buck each, red and no stickers. They are LOUD! I for the life of me don't know why the Cards don't give them out to the crowds (say, game one vs. SF) to help fans get even louder.

We have been asked just once on bringing them in whether we could. The security lady said "the guidelines say no noisemakers" to which my wife replied "this doesn't make any noise, my voice does. It just amplifies it." She went through. About 8 of us have these in our section, and as the guys in front of me can attest, they are freaking LOUD!!!

Run, don't walk, and get these things ASAP for Monday Night. There will be a ton of Bears fans there so we need all the help we can get. LOUD is where it is at. Let's rattle Grossman like he's never seen....let the Frat House ROCK!

(and it is just a coincidence the pic I found had Cardinals on it, I didn't even try.)

Per PFT Nolan can wear a suit at Niners home games:

NOLAN GETS TO WEAR SUITS FOR HOME GAMES​

The National Football League and Reebok have relented; 49ers coach Mike Nolan will be permitted to wear a suit and tie for each of the team's eight regular-season home games in 2007. ​

Nolan wanted to wear the suit every week, but offered the home-games-only option as a compromise.​

"Commissioner [Roger] Goodell took a harder look at it and he supported the issue," NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said, according to Matt Maiocco of the Santa Rosa Press-Democrat . "In recognition of Nolan's desire to salute and honor his father, we expanded [the policy] to meet his request."​

Nolan's father, Dick, wore a coat and tie when coaching in the NFL.​

Last year, Nolan was allowed to wear a suit for two games. Jags coach Jack Del Rio did so, too. With the rule being expanded, it remains to be seen whether Del Rio makes the same request. ​

And, ultimately, we're hoping to see a starched collar and a navy blue tie peeking out from the top of the neck of Bill Belichick's hoodie.​

I took a mini megaphone to a couple of games last year, but I don't think anyone around me appreciated it.........not because it was loud, but because the megaphone had USC TROJANS written on it.....I was a bad girl.

 

[PoolBoy]

ok

so its decided, screw the chiefs fans disrespect of our country, but we're goin with the QQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQ! Sorry for those of you that already do it, i do too, but we need to spread the word because people around me always think im booing him.

 

[blindseyed]

Hey if Bill Belichick can dress like a homeless guy, then Nolan shouldn't even have to ask to dress in a suit

 

[Bobcat]

These are the suits in today's NFL

You are so right...!!! But these day's it is the Bengales, Cinncy, Bears, Titan's and of course "The Boyz...!!!

[Redrage]

We should revive the Old "Larry" chant.

 

[Toro]

How about winning? That is a traditional I am game for.

 

[D-Dogg]

We do that one all the time.

The Bengals and Cinncy are both good teams though.

Home of the CHIEFS is a dupe of Home of the JETS (I'm not sure who's copying who).

Oriole fans always yell out the "O" in Oh say does that Star Spangled Banner..."

Jets have the "Jets Jets Jets" cheer.

If we're going to create a traditional, it should be (a) original and (b) not "forced." It should be a natural outgrowth of of the personality of the team and the area.

The Q-Q-Q shout at least has originality (although it doesn't do anything for me).

The tugboat horn was pretty good during Marcel's better days.

Even something as cheesy as an ever louder B-I-I-I-G RED! would work fine until we come up with something better.

But what probably will happen is that someone will post something cool on a blog or say something near in the stands, and everyone will pick up on it.

 

[earthsci]

OK, then is it -

a chant like

"Q", "Q", "Q", "Q", "Q", "Q", "Q", "Q", "Q"

or a long Q like

"Quuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"?

 

[jefftheshark]

I liked the tradition last year, that whenever Leonard Davis was introduced before the game the crowd would yell, "Boooooo!".

Was that his middle name, or was it a nickname? Whatever it was, it was shared by Denny Green, because by the end of the season the same traditional cheer was being given to him too.

Ah, good times.

Fans can learn what a cardinal birdsong sounds like and imitate that

 

[gamebird98]

But yes, I agree we need more traditions.


By the end of the year, the crowd was starting to catch on to the first down thing.

"That's a gain of 6 yards and another Cardinals....[announcer pause] [Crowd]FIRST DOWN!!"

It was nice, when it worked.

QQQQQQQQ! would be good.

I like the one the Bears do. When there is a timeout the announcer says"There is a timeout....(the crowd syas WHERE?...)....the announcer responds with ..."On the Field"!

 

[dreamcastrocks]

a chant like

"Q", "Q", "Q", "Q", "Q", "Q", "Q", "Q", "Q"

or a long Q like

"Quuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"?

Definitely the latter.

Saying QQQQQQQQ is awesome and all, but you need a tradition that involves the team as a whole and not just a certian player. When said player leaves or retires you will have to start something brand new and thats just not very traditional is it.

I say every time we score a TD we need to throw hotdogs and hamburgers on the field. At half time we could throw orange slices.

Why not just stick to throwing water bottles at referees?

Been there, done that.

Kind of ashamed, but that San Fran game (I think it was that game) was horse-ish.

 

[DEEEFENSE!!!]

For now I think everytime Q gets his hands on the ball (125 times this year, I hope)we CHANT Q-Q-Q-Q! Making Q sound like Boo is old and played out.

 

[Jersey Girl]

I'm down with that. We need to find a way to recognize our super players.

no, makin the Q sound like boo is the point, its cool, and louder. chanting q q q q q will be confusing and it wont make sense. one long q will catch on.

Was it san fran? I was thinking rams. I went to 2 or 3 games that year, the panthers, rams and something else, maybe the niners.

I'm not ashamed at all, I thought it was beautiful, so much so that I was in the other end zone and still joined in.

I will help create the Q Q Q Q Q chant in the endzone.

I want the Tugboat sound back.

Whats wrong with here we go cardinals, here we go clap clap? that's old school.

Some guys behind us get really rowdy, every first down our whole section is 1...2...3... move the chains! move the chains! move the chins! move em! while doing the first down chop. the announcers first down thing likes to try and mess up our chi.
