RSL vs Galaxy 6-22 [R]

Czar Jake · 06-20-2005, 02:39 PM

I was not joking with the paper bag idea.

I see both points of view on this, but I still think we need to do something. How can we just sit there and watch as we pass by the ALL-TIME GOAL-SCORING IMPOTENCE streak? Why not put a bag over our heads for a minute? We are a part of the team's success and faliure, too, right? Well I am embarrassed of the streak, and if you aren't embarrassed then maybe you have more of a cheerleader mentality rather than a fan/supporter mentality.

It was my idea, and I'd like to do it or something like it. But if the majority of the group is against it or if Glenn is against it, I'm fine with that too.

But we need to do something.

Czar -

If you bring extra paper bags I'm sure that you'll get people to wear them. Just put a sticky on them that says something like "Please wear this for 1 minute if RSL has not scored a goal by the 35th minute. This is to recognize the fact that RSL now has the record for scoring impotence."

I am liking the idea of paper bags for the minute we break the record.

I am also in favor of singing All we are saying until the whole stadium is sick of singing it. The song may be a better mark than the bags anyway.

Something does need to be done...

Initially I was for the bags over the head but I have since decided that being positive would be more constructive...

No I am not happy about the drought...

here is my idea on what should be done....

in the minute we tie the record we make as much noise as humanly possible... Drums, cowbells, horns, air horns, bullhorns, miraccas(sp?) sing ALL WE SAYING IS GIVE US A GOAL for that minute then when and if the minute comes that we surpass the record everyone abruptly stops everything no noise no drums singing, noise makers....NOTHING!!!! we all sit down!!!
for an entire minute! then resume our normal stuff after the minute...

Because we friggin show up every game. No matter what. I dont buy that they have such fragile ego's and confidence that a "Hey this is embarrasing, get it together" is going to collapse the team.

Then by all means, wear a bag on your head.

That may not be too bad.

Classic, it would be like a moment of silence for futility. I like that idea as much as the paper bag idea. And the way the rest of RES cheers, we may actually get a moment of absolute silence if we're quiet.

I just need to say that I’m against the bag idea. I have been since Saturday night when I first heard the idea at Iggy’s.

I like the chanting idea though.

I think we should cheer louder and show more support than we ever have. That will really show them.

Is there a record for singing the same cheer over and over? Maybe in recognition of the team's record we could set our own? "All we are saying, is give us a goal" ad naseum, or until we set the chanting record, which ever comes first.
