sgm405 Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 I was just thinking about something that might be cool for Zips fans to do. Last year I'm sure most of you saw the "White Out" that Penn State did - everyone wore white in the stadium. Ohio State fans are currently planning a "Red Out" for the Penn State game, where they are all wearing red. What if we did something for the home opener, or maybe in traveling to the Can't game?

Valpo Zip Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 that reminds me of the Can't State stark trick... which will probably be my best college day memory ever. Kudos to Matt Newhouse.The sad thing about the zips is that we have zips gear in all colors of the rainbow, i've seen blue, gold, white, yellow, black and even pink zips stuff which doesn't help a lot in making the RB look impressive.If you ask me for ideas, i love the way Ohio fans do the chantO... H... I... OO. H. I. OOHIOOHIOI know other teams do it too, but i tried with a group of 5-6 zips fan chanting:Z...I...P...S etc... And i think that it will sound great and get some people excited to chear.Just my 2 cents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryno aka Menace Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 Why don't we do both everyone wear navy blue and cheer Z..I..P..S!! Zips! Zips! Zips! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue & Gold Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 I know it may be tradition, but I absolutely despise the asinine pregame chant of "Eat 'em up, eat 'em up, go Zips, go." I could think of so many negative adjectives for that banal chant: hokey, corny, uninspired, worn-out. It is so stale and trite that I find it insulting. I'm a rather die hard Zips fan (anyone who's been a fan of the Zips for the last 25 years would HAVE to be a die hard), but I've never shouted that cheer and I don't think I ever will. Every game it just goes over like a lead balloon. It's honestly embarassing. We need a chant that people will want to join in on and that will get everyone in the stadium in a vocal spirit. Now that we're presently turning the corner as a football program (actually, as an athletic program as a whole!) don't you think it is high time for a new chant as well?Out with the old, in with the new.I like the idea of Z...I...P...S!Z.I.P.S!ZIPSZIPSI also love the AK-Rowdies and think that AK...ROWDY is awfully cool!

Captain Kangaroo Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 The whole "White out <insert team here>" or "Red Out <Insert team here>" is so f-ing unoriginal. Its about as original as playing freaking Michael Buffer's "Let's get ready to Rumble" before a game. I hope to God we don't "Gold Out" North Texas.Here's an idea for Can't State we came up with a week or so ago: Give all the students cheap toy duck calls and turkey calls. Every time we sack the Can't QB...make Can't punt...create a turnover, etc. the student chant "ON THE HUNT" and blast into the duck calls. That would be sweet.

Fear this America Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 Good call does any on have any hook ups where we could get some cheap duck calls and things of that nature? I will talk to the AK-ROWDIES board and see what they think. Do you guys have any ideas on a full scaled prank... I like what you said so far but we need to keep the Can't pranking coming.

GO ZIPS Click For Cheap QuackersI may end up going to Gander Mountain or Wall0Mart to get one, but these would be good and cheap in bulk.

bobbyake Posted September 16, 2006 Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 you get 24 per unit, at $9.95. So $50 could get us around 120. How many would be needed??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fear this America Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 Iam sure we can get a group of 200 or so to go in on a can't state hutting group. Thats a good group but we need something more this is big. The duck calls are great but we need more ideas to take this thing to the next level. Iam sure we all have remember the great work the god father did. We dont want them to think their pranking is done just because he is gone. Keep the great ideas coming.

Zipsrifle Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 The duck calls are a great idea. Maybe for the other games, we keep with the Kangaroo/Aussie theme and have everyone bring boomerangs. We can throw them at the other team. That would really intimidate any opposing team in the RB!
