Flip Flops will be used as Thundersticks. Throwing them on the court would be hilarious but also would probably have you thrown out so this will do.

those with flop chants and signs will hopefully have the refs looking out for it....and also have the media cracking up too

2/6/2008 12:50:59 AM

I tried to email the RBC Center sponsorship sales about putting FLOP on the signs in the student section but their site is messed up. I will be calling in the morning proposing a great advertising opportunity.

they would never, ever do that

I like my idea

2/6/2008 12:54:18 PM

it would be awesome if we could get STAT or someone to give out free red flip-flops instead of the usual t-shirts.

2/6/2008 12:55:41 PM

Old Navy sells boys red flip-flops (they also have black, no white) for $2.50 a pair online - someone should call up the supplier and see what a couple thousand pair would run, and if they could be delivered within 3 weeks

2/6/2008 12:58:47 PM

If STAT gave out flip-flops, they'd be Crocs (since they are a sponsor), but I doubt they'd give those out at a men's basketball game. I've only seen them giving those out at women's basketball and soccer games.

It's a great idea, though. Really have to get the word out to campus now.

MAN THAT WOULD BE SO AWESOME

IF EVERYONE HAD FLIP FLOPS

HOLY GOD ALMIGHTY

THAT'S HILARIOUS

EXCELLENT IDEA FELLAS

IT WILL TOTALLY WRECK PAULUS' GAME

EXCEPT NOT AT ALL

flip flops?

sorry folks, but that's re-goddamn-tarded.

save the flipflop references for politics.

just yell at the fucker a lot

2/6/2008 1:07:15 PM

I question your fanhood.

2/6/2008 1:09:12 PM

i question your manhood if you're in favor of shit like this

if you want to be part of an orchestrated cheering group, join the cheerleaders

if you want to have some dignity left after the game, be a real fan and just scream your fucking guts out

2/6/2008 1:11:24 PM

Sounds like you're a little insecure there. Look to the student wolfpack club section next time you're at a game and you'll see lots of people putting their dignity on the line for the sake of showing their spirit. I don't think using flip flops as thundersticks is going to effeminate anyone.

consider yourself officially called out, you flip flop smackin' gaylord

2/6/2008 1:36:40 PM

lolller.. if you wana call some fans fags look at WF tie die shirts every damn game. I was just throwing out an idea, let me hear some others. I saw someone else post the flip flop idea in another thread thought it could get a laugh from the commentators/media.

2/6/2008 2:26:57 PM

Ernie if you are insecure about your manhood you can just yell your motherfuckin guts out along with me and the rest of us. Bottom line is Id like to do something with the flopping - maybe just do this when he shoots his FT's

2/6/2008 2:34:16 PM

Consider yourself officially called out you faggot

you think you're tough? Then come say the shit you said about me and my friends on TWW to our faces

Can't wait to see your bitch ass crying when you get taken out

2/6/2008 2:39:00 PM

2/6/2008 2:45:28 PM

you havent been here long enough

2/6/2008 2:48:02 PM

its damn tempting

2/6/2008 2:48:31 PM

hey!
who the hell here pissed on Ernie's Birthday cake?

wow. move on. let the people who want to actually act like a student body, and not a jaded alum, do so.

did you ever get raped by a pack of flip-flop wearing grandpa's?

Nate2010, i appreciate you actually throwing out an idea.
i would bring my flip-flops to the game but they're stuck to far up Ernie's ass.

2/6/2008 3:07:30 PM

you sure told him!

2/6/2008 3:08:06 PM

called out by an alias with terrible grammar!

this jaded alum got served!

2/6/2008 3:15:00 PM

what was that email on that paper for advice?

statecheers @ gmail? or something i cant remember

they need to tell the people behind the opponents bench to yell unforgiving at ALL times when the other team is having a timeout chat

2/6/2008 3:15:45 PM

it would be kind of neat if when a Duke player was at the line the entire building was dead silent and relatively motionless...then at some point during his free throw dribbling routine everybody just starts yelling and flailing their arms around

i dunno, it might fuck up their concentration

2/6/2008 3:29:39 PM

The Crazies already do that.

2/6/2008 3:32:37 PM

i'm telling you, what we need to do for the free throws is everyone hold up their arms to the left, and then when they're about to shoot move to the right.

that's trippy shit. way moreso than just waving arms around.

2/6/2008 3:34:02 PM

^^really? i thought they did something like that^

oh well

[Edited on February 6, 2008 at 3:35 PM. Reason : .]

2/6/2008 3:35:30 PM

i'm sure this has been mentioned before, but just b/c the fans at Duke do it doesn't mean they invented it. Waiting to yell until the shooter is actually about to shoot actually seems better to me than everyone just generally yelling and flailing their arms around the whole time.

...and who the hell was thegoodlife talking to way up ^X there?

they do.. and if they don't the elementary school principal on the first row behind them does

yelling your face off is fine but that doesn't exactly get on TV much, what's wrong with a couple cheers or things like the flipflop thing

^i don't know if its that secret yet heh

alright, my coolness is finally validated!

2/6/2008 4:09:00 PM

amen

2/6/2008 4:10:09 PM

well maybe not ALL of them yell, that shouldn't be too hard to do if you get the right people there

but there are definitely people yelling most of the time behind the bench, even if you don't hear it.. everybody gets in to it when the coach yells something.. pretty funny

2/6/2008 4:46:59 PM

Is there a way the technician could print an extra sheet in the paper that said DUKE FLOPS GO PACK or something of that nature?

2/6/2008 4:55:18 PM

the funniest thing the crowd could do is if everyone in the stadium fell down in unison when they announced paulus' name at the beginning of the game for the starting line up

2/6/2008 4:56:53 PM

nahhh its the Tech, they suck at life.

2/6/2008 4:57:26 PM

daddytime that is good.

2/6/2008 6:20:43 PM

im just sayin, i don't think doing it during the starting lineups would be good enough.. the announcer reads the names off too fast... "FLOP" or something right after his name would have to be yelled too

2/6/2008 6:36:20 PM

^X15

Cameron has several good cheers they do right before the free throw attempt. I'm not saying they invented them. We could actually use alot of them and be louder than they are.

Examples:

Everyone behind the basket does pelvic thrusts and grunts in unison before the shot.
10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1.... and a loud buzzer sound they try to time right when he's shooting.
Shirt over the head and jump around ape-like.
everyone goes shhhhhhh while he's dribbling and screams when he releases.
All hands from left to right on the shot.
while JJ was at the line they were chanting INNN HIGHHH SCHOOOL, IN HIGH SCHOOL kind of like NNNN CCCC STAAAATE, NC STATE.

My personal favorite: In unison on defense the whole crowd yells boing when the ball hits the floor over and over again as the opposing team dribbles, starts and OOOO chant that gets louder when they pick up their dribble up to 5 seconds, yells pass when he passes the ball, shot... etc.

I still hate Duke players, but you have to respect the crazies.

Whenever the ref calls an O-foul on us, everyone should fall over at the sound of the whistle

2/6/2008 7:03:43 PM

YES

EVERYONE SHOULD FALL OVER

IN THE STANDS

WHERE THERE'S BARELY ENOUGH ROOM TO SIT COMFORTABLY

NEVERMIND THE SEATS AND ALL THE OTHER FUCKING PEOPLE ALL OVER THE PLACE
