Bruin game day traditions - the "frisbee cheer"

by Nestor on Feb 7, 2006 6:38 PM PST in Basketball

Last week there was a lot of buzz around the internets about an ESPN GameDay commericial featuring one of our classic pre-game rituals call the "frisbee cheer." Well one of our readers emailed us a short clip of that video and just tonight bluejoe was kind enough to email us a picture of that specific cheer from the Arizona game. So we will combine the two. Here is the picture courtesy of bluejoe and you can just click on it to see the quicktime version of the GameDay commercial:

Thanks again to BlueJoe et al. for sending these pics. and files. If you have your game day pictures or any tailgaiting pictures of pictures of you watching the game with fellow Bruins at bars across the country feel free to send them to us or post them here. This is your Nation dripping in blue and gold. GO BRUINS.

The Frisbee Cheer

I was one of the lucky students who helped out with the Frisbee cheer in the 80's (when it was actually done by Larry "Frisbee" Davis). We customized it for various teams coming in. We had "Donny and Marie" when BYU came in, Girl watching for Pepperdine, and we did a few "coaching clinics" (think high post, low post, travelling, etc.) We had a lot of fun coming up with the skits.
One of the other members of the crew was the one who came up with the cue cards for the opposing team introductions. I had the honor of being the custodian of them for a year. As we passed the cards on, each person signed the back. Do they still use them?

i think so

If youre refering to the cards when they introduce the opposing team's starting lineup, then yes. The ones that read "So What?", "Who Cares?", "Go Home", etc. Theyre still put to good use ever game. I dont know about the signing though.
