#Credit to the original poster who came up with this..
Much cred to the Show for orchestrating the I BELIEVE chants at the games so far. Why not consider the above?
Please discuss...

I don't think your idea is bad, but "I BELIEVE THAT WE WILL WIN" has officially caught on and I don't see it changing.

I agree. Its a good idea but its a completely different type of chant and message.
You have to incorporate the belief of winning into this chant.
That chant could be used for another time and situation. But not a pregrame "Win" chant like this one

I believe that we will win is a good chant because everyone in the arena, aztec fan or not, knows what is being said.

We dont do the chant to compete with other schools. We dont do it to get on TV. We dont do it for the attention nor the thrill of stealing from others and claiming its ours. We do it to pump the crowd up and more importantly to show to the players that we are behind them and we are going to give it our ALL every game for them. Should we not do the "Defense" chant anymore? cause thats "stealing" too you know? what about "Air Ball"? So enough of "this is stealing"..."lets be original" thats not what its about. We arent competing. its the players playing the game, not us. We go to the game to root for the team and bring energy to the arena in hopes that they can thrive on it.

if you are so concerned with originality, than create a new one, get it started, and lead it. short of that, your criticism falls on deaf ears. if you want something done, do it yourself and then log on to a message board filled with fans and listen to them b**** about it nonstop. /rant

I think this a little better and think it is a good idea to try something unique. We are not good followers. Let's be original. Let them think what they want but we are Aztecs. That says it all.

So because the Lil' Wayne intro song they play has no reference to basketball whatsoever means the players don't get hyped up during intro's? I highly doubt any players on the team are even focused on what is being said before/during the game as far as fans are concerned. Does that mean it doesn't help the team or the team doesn't appreciate it? Definitely not (I would assume). It's more about making a statement that this is our house and this is San Diego State University. Not ranting here, just thought it would be special to add something that states that once the opponent steps on our court, they're in OUR house. Just my .02...

I am an old guy. I really like the "I believe" chant. It is probably my favorite of all the organized chants and cheers. I shout it out right along with the student section (even though I don't stand during it).
I think it is great and it really gets the place rockin'!
Don't stop.

I don't think your idea is bad, but "I BELIEVE THAT WE WILL WIN" has officially caught on and I don't see it changing. Not to mention that the tv guys LOVE it. I've seen several intros and other spots that either lead or show "I BELIEVE" somewhere in the clip. Oh sure, we didn't create it - but that doesn't bother people in other arenas from using the giant faces, either. Make it loud, make it memorable, make it ours.

The students like it. That's what matters, not the opinions of a handful of people on this board.
It's not going anywhere. In fact, it's only going to get bigger.

If it ain't broke..
'I Believe' get the students out their seats and fired up for tip-off. Its really starting to take off, no need for a change mid-season.
Too much "do this, not that" from non-SHOW members. Just let 'em do their thing.

not a big fan of the chant...sounds cheesy, akin to Stuart Smalley chanting "I'm Good Enough, I'm Smart Enough, and Doggone It, People Like Me!" while looking in the mirror...
but the BOMBAYE idea is the bomb!....make it catchy like the real chant "Ali....BOMBAYE!", but make it "Aztecs....BOMBAYE!"

I agree the "I Belive" chant is good, but it is also good to be original! Why not have 2 chants....one we are familiar with and one that is uniquely our own? I dont see anything wrong with that. It shows an evolution of the fans and it might real good to come up with a situational chat that is all ours. For example when i went to a NMSU game in the early 90s the students all took out their keys and dangled them at the end of the games they were winning and chanted the "go start the bus" to a tingling sound in the arena and it was preety cool. I am not saying to use that but maybe come up with something that could set a trend and get on sportscenter! It is fun to think about these ideas when not too long ago we were worried if we could get 3k to the game!!
