It definitely sounded different when we heard it on TV, but I can live with it, it’s a tradition, keep it.
Now, if we did like TCU and played it every time our opponent has the ball and it’s third down, I’d personally pay someone to take a sledgehammer to it.
@FunkMasterMilluns , I usually agree with 102% of your posts…but I gotta stand up to your Depeche Mode bullying. I would’ve loved to have been at that soccer match and singing right along with all of those drunk fans. Looked awesome…but I am a big Depeche Mode fan…so there’s that. Would love to see that at UH home games.
All-in-all, each generation establishes it own identity…sometimes using things from the past, sometimes creating something brand new. We’re somewhat at a point of an identity crisis within the UH fandom where there’s not clear direction on what we should actually be doing at a game. I understand alumni’s desire for game activities/chants of the past…and understand students’ desires to have more updated material. As mentioned before, when we fill up TDECU Thunderdome, the right thing will happen organically. It always has, and will again.
If you want a soccer game atmosphere go see a soccer game. If you need songs to jump around and sing to go to a concert. If you’re a dude and the Frontiersmen and the Blaze bother you then you probably sit to pee, they’re a long standing UH tradition. Show up and watch college football, the team, the cheerleaders, the band and the camaraderie of your fellow Coogs is what it’s all about.
Let’s just start at the beginning. A big screen video with football highlights, recent and old, with O’Fortuna playing will get the fans and team rolling. It’s worked before and it will work now.
I like the helmet buggy and think it needs to stay. Same with the blaze. My only thought on the frontiersmen is that it looks stupid to be wearing a duster when it’s almost 100° outside. The cowboy hat would suffice and actually make sense.
I was over in the Hill Country. Miller Lite sponsored our Fall church fair. Mns O’Callahan could drink us all under the table. He’s back in merry ol’ Erin now drinking with those guys.
I like the Frontiersmen in their white dusters. They remind of Western outlaws or lawmen. Our heritage is West (Hollywood promoted that image) or South (the Texas regiment was one of the most feared of the Confederate States Army).which is why I am thankful we never played in the Big East Conference.
