Organizing Student Section & BU Chants

[Braves4Life]

If the name doesn't have to be involved with the coach, might I suggest the Tribe, the Reservation, or the Casino.

In all seriousness, back in the 80's the student section went by the name 'The Baseline Bums'. I don't know of any college that has a similar student section name, and you guys do sit on the baseline, so why not revive an old tradition (and one that shouldn't offend too many people)?

I really like The Tribe

HAHA The lesticles is priceless. How long do you think that name would last before the Administration tried to do something about it? I say 2 games. We should begin calling the student section this just so we can have a pick'em as to when the Administration will try to get it changed. Lesticles, wow.

Since so many thought Squirrels was a good nickname to adopt... how bout calling the student section the Squirrels Nest and have students dress up as squirrels and act all rabid.

Some student section names I found

Creighton- Bird Cage
Drake- Dog Pound
Illinois State- Bird Cage
Wichita State- Shocker Maniacs

The MVC student sections I can think of off the top of my head are:

BU: Red Pride
CU: Bird Cage
DU: Dog Pound
ISU: Red Alert
MSU: Barry's Brigade
SIU: Dawg Pound
UNI: Jake's Jungle
WSU: Shocker Maniacs

I dont think UE or InSU has a name for theirs. Just to clarify though, ISU's student section is not called the Bird Cage, its Red Alert. "The Bird Cage" is just the location in the arena where the student section is---just like at football games the name of the actual section is "The Zoo".

When Bob Bender was coaching at ISU (89-93) the student section was called "Bender's Baseline Bunch." The similar name could be coincidence but then again maybe they took a cue from you guys

How about the Red Sea?

The cheerleaders already do the surfboard thing and Maui Jim could be the sponsor of t-shirts, etc....

I'd kinda like to capitalize on the other Valley's nicknames for us-- Ferarris. Any good ideas?

The "We're Better than You" student section?


Honestly, I like the idea of using the Ferarris and laughing at ourselves too.

I like this idea. Would having a mascot of Moses be viewed as offensive by the NCAA?

I'd say that is one of the better ideas as well. We could probably expand on that quite a bit. I don't know about a religious mascot though...

[Fetz86]

Is the team still going to come to the court through the student section, and part the red sea?

If we can't use the Lesticles name then I guess the Red Sea will have to do.. Seriously, I like the Red Sea idea.

Tshirt could feature a dude holding a basketball with BU logo riding a killer wave....

and parting the red sea for intros is right on... somebody call BU

This is the idea we've been throwin around too.

I like it too, but you know it'll lead to DEAD SEA taunts by the other teams. But that'll only happen if we lose, and I don't really see another BU loss until sometime around the the turn of the century.
