That is KANSAS State’s horrible pregame video. Take a look at this thing and it will make you oddly happy with the the inaudible pregame cartoons that are run at Carter-Finley.
Tip of the hat to EDSBS for this great entry to go along with the video. On YouTube, the video is titled, “1989 called, it wants its promotional video back”.
One thing that I will mention…note the use of SIMPLE, two syllable chants in “K – State”. Note how they don’t try to *#^&# everything up with sophistication and turn something simple into something horrible like “Kkkkkkkkkkkk Staaaaaaatee. Go K-State!” or something like that.
Last year, App State came to Raleigh and loudly cheered “A-S-U”. It resonated and made good noise because it is easy to say and all the fans can synchronize their chant. This year, “U-C-F” did the same thing. Again, it was pretty easy for them to build noise and momentum behind the simple cheer of three distinct sounds (I will call them syllables even though they technically are not)
So, how do the cheerleaders and fans at three ‘sound/syllable’ N-C-State choose to cheer for the last 20 friggin years?
Answer: Something that is impossible to synchronize or sustain for more than a couple of rounds with 60,000 fans, of course!! ‘Wolf-Pack’ makes a ton of noise. Works great. So does, ‘Red/White’. Gee. How does that work so well? With that said, doesn’t it make complete sense that the naturally easy to cheer/chant, “N-C-State” would be morphed into a garbled, unsustainable mess of a rapidly accelerating “Nnnnnnnnnnn Cccccccccccccc Staaaaaaate. NC State” that nobody can synchronize?
