re: Could we use more intimidating yells?

Back when I was in school, one of the old yellow leaders came and spoke at yell practice. He told an original story that was actually funny. This was after we had heard the current yell leaders tell the same damn story over and over again with shite delivery and zero comedic timing.

I remember thinking that the whole group yell and yell leading tradition had become "canned" routine. I remember thinking then, and I still think, that yell practice should actually be a practice for new yells specifically tailored for the opponent the next day.

Why do we stick with the same routine when there are so many opportunities to raise hell with 30,000+ blasting said hell right into the opposing bench?

Remember the Watermelon yell we did for good ole Rick Barns?

Watermelon Watermelon Watermelon Rind, look at the scoreboard, see who's behind

That's what I mean.

The 12th Man could do so much more.
