Cowbell Chant

[dickiedawg]

Haven't seen it mentioned, but at cowbell yell last night they introduced a "cowbell chant" that is basically a slow clap led by a drum.

I know some folks, possibly many, will **** on this idea. It's a direct ripoff of Iceland's Viking War Chant, which is decidedly badass. It'll be distinctively ours, though, because cowbells.
I like it, I think it could be really cool. Hopefully we can get the execution down like this:

Man if I had a nickel for every time I've heard Iceland's Viking War Chant **

 

[FlotownDawg]

I think it has the potential to be awesome if we can do it properly. But since we can't even get the Maroon White cheer down, I have my doubts.

 

[Dawgbite]

I like it. Pretty cool.

 

[CochiseCowbell]

Agreed.

 

[GloryDawg]

Oh dear.

This one HAS to be sponsored by Adidas.

I wonder if it'll be used at certain times during the game...before team comes out, 3rd downs (may have to be coming back from time out to have enough time), etc. or if we'll just randomly do it. If used properly, it could be great.

 

[OutaStatePlates]

Bring it back!

The "Do it like a Big Dog" cheer from the late 70's was the best cheer we ever had.

 

[EngDawg]

Pretty cool, but 100,000 Viking decedents doing this sounds way more intimidating. I think if we could get the whole atadium doing this it would be pretty impressive.

: Hold on wait a minute, gotta put some DOG in it...hoo.. hoo hoo.. hoo hoo

I love it. We need to do more coordinated chants like this.

 

[EurekaDog]

Kinda OT...Icelandic trivia: Iceland's gov't. must approve a person's name.

"James Robert Smith, Jr." would not be approved.

It's an effort to maintain Iceland's culture.

[EngDawg]

So I take it Muhammad Abdul Jazar would not be allowed***

 

[TBone.sixpack]

I like it too. Would be cool if it works.

 

[Xenomorph]

I'd say somewhere along the way the train ran off the track...

 

[RocketDawg]

I'll bet they have a hard time teaching kids to read there. And the literacy level must be very low.

[VillagepeopleDogs]

I was always fond of 'who let the Dogs out'...........

 

[Shmuley]

always good to throw rythm focused cheers at our hopelessly white, rhythmically challenged fan base.

 

[VillagepeopleDogs]

The rhythm method is a pretty safe bet.

 

[MedDawg]

The Mike Man once tried to start a cheer..."He got his bell rung!"...

over and over when a visiting player was on the ground. Good thing that cheer lasted just that one time. Pretty sure the mike man got in trouble.

 

[dawgstudent]

I think it's awesome but I think we should rip off Iceland completely and do the chant with it as well.

Man if I had a nickel for every time I've heard Iceland's Viking War Chant **

I'd have zero nickels.

 

[CochiseCowbell]

Kent Hrbek & Iceland need to buy some vowels. Damnit, I'm still mad at that guy for basically shoving Ron Gant off first!

 

[KurtRambis4]

Our students

will 17 that all up.

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

Better practice and get this stuff right

PF say SEC Nation in Vegas next weekend.

 

[RocketDawg]

I like it. Need to use a good Viking-type drum rather than a band bass drum though ... sounds sharper ... more of a "thwack" instead of a "boom".

 

[MSUDawg25]

Students will screw it up***

Pretty cool they got Andrew Luck to come play the drum at Cowbell Yell though.

Interesting. According to that Wikipedia page, the legislative process to abolish the committee has already started though.

Little bit of travel advice while on the subject of Iceland

[h=1]Reykjavík is one of the most underrated cities as far as travel destinations go. If frisky blonde chicks is your thing, spend a week or two there.[/h]
