You're a student again. What chants, traditions, gameday things, do you want to see?

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.

My priest told me you can get in a fight in any pub in Ireland for nothing more than your tone of voice. So I always thought it was a dangerous place.

But that video makes me want to beat the Hell out of 30,000 people.

@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. :slight_smile: 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.

Yep. They can stay but need to dress differently.

Don’t get me wrong- Cosplay has its place in the world. It’s just not on a football field with 90 degree plus temps.

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.

I’ve been wanting to do Depeche Mode at a game for ages.

Are you the Frontiersman that has a blue Chevy truck that I saw in the hotel parking lot ?

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.

That’s good advice from Father.
By the way, that video was from Glasgow Celtic in Scotland. It’s the club the Irish Catholics root for.

Surprised the priest elected to meet with you! :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:.

I kid I kid!!

Fyi… Men & Women visit this site. From what I understand, it’s best for the Women to sit rather than stand when the need comes to relieve themselves. :upside_down_face:

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.

Frontiersmen always seemed cheesy and out of place to me, then again, i’m from the city. I don’t mind them though. We need more fans like them.

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.

I agree that’s why I said “dude”

Got it! :+1:. Now I’m wondering if any ladies are referred to as dudes :thinking:. Maybe at the "Dude Ranch "
