I used to do that, now I just sit there with my mouth open, dumbfounded. Yep, wish shaking my head burned calories! It does but washing the bad taste down with alcohol creates a net zero.

At Duke, "The Crazies" stand the entire game. At Cornell hockey games (at least 40 yrs ago when I was last at Lynah) the entire student section would hold up a copy of the student newspaper and then yell "who cares?" as the opposing team was introduced. Horns and cowbells were mentioned "from the old days", you can no longer do that thanks to an NCAA regulation known as "The RPI Rule" (yup those guys up in troy) because during "Big Red Freak-out" they would hand out plastic horns and it got so loud it was difficult to officiate the game, so the NCAA banned the practice. And of course there was the RPI "hockey line" where students would line up for over a month to wait in line to buy tickets. I think the city of troy declared it a health hazard and the practice was abandoned some years ago. "The Hawk" at St Josephs is a full scholarship student, and must flap his "wings" non-stop the entire game. Each game, win or lose ends with the chant, "The Hawk will never die", this has been a tradition since 1956. There are lots of traditions out there, Siena still has (now) a pretty good tradition, begun in Greensboro NC in 1989 by a nightclub jazz band hired by some crazy alum's to lead the newly minted "Saints" FANS into the arena to "When The Saints Come Marching In" because Siena didn't have a pep band at the time. It only took 15 - 20 years for somebody to realize this was about as perfect a way as there is to greet the team every time the come on the court. Let's keep that one going.

When playing Assumption at Gibbons Gardens, soon to NBA player Jake Jones was being announced when a Siena student with a lacrosse stick circled the star yelling Indian war hoops. Went on for a while too. Could have been a great tradition if repeated but the threat of imminent arrest chilled a repeat performance.
