Revisions on rivalry?

Re: Revisions on rivalry?

That's why I've always advocated a hearty, cheerful "Hello there!" from the assembled crowd when the PA announcer says "Let's give a warm Jackrabbit welcome to (fill in the blank)."

It would be VERY, VERY different from what they do anywhere else, and might throw their concentration just enough to make a difference in a very close game.

Plus, it would be just dang friendly of us, wouldn't it?

Or, you could South Dakotaize it with, "Yeah, you betcha!"

As in:

"Starting at guard, a 6-2 Junior, Joe Jones"'

which would be followed by a drum rim shot, then a hearty crowd chant:

"Yeah, you betcha!"

Oh golly, ya. Dats an idea ya gat dere guys. But really, look who we're dealing with here, A conference of big city metropolites who already think the Dakotas are full of small time hicks. We don't need to promote the stereotype we already have with them. Heck, Fargo the movie did more to promote the idea that we all talk like that than anything else. Ya, doncha know eh.

I like that idea. It's just weird and unexpected enough to become memorable and maybe a little unsettling. Perhaps the greeting could be customized from game to game, to reflect the opponent. Hello, Coyotes! Hello, Bison! etc.

Here's some ideas and when the game is over there are some others to use

I don't see booing a team as they run out as disrespectful. Now, if we decided to throw a golden grizzley bear on the court on Saturday, that would be disrespectful.

Agreed. Nothing wrong with booing. It's the ugly, personal stuff that isn't OK.

If we talked like that, it would take about 10 seconds for a few on Bisonville to claim they've taken over Frost Arena.
