Have ...who cares about "brand names"? besides you. Have to admit you are a bit anal about things, like the way you examine most things at a game ie: the stretching of video, the lack of buildings in a video sketch etc.<BR/><BR/>I agree fang fingers is beyond lame, I call them something that sounds like fang but not quite as PC.<BR/><BR/>and sorry man but the I like I love it chant makes the fans look really lame to folks outside of Nashville. It is forcing the "Nashville Culture" onto the sport of hockey, it isnt sporty at all.<BR/><BR/>I still dont agree with the chants, and if you think 15K people do those chants, you are wrong. If you dont sit in 303 you can tell most are following along and you cant really understand what they are chanting.<BR/><BR/>Also funny how it is the job of the fans to groan about "missed" calls. Not everything against your team is a "missed call". That is my issue, if its a missed called yell, but just cause he falls down, its not a missed call. Nor is every save a "amazing save"<BR/><BR/>Funny how EVERY SINGLE Preds game is called bad, the REFS are really out to get you and your team.jchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16896154305020403499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35868118.post-30744411051313128262007-10-29T09:58:00.000-05:002007-10-29T09:58:00.000-05:00First off, the JumboTron was/is a Sony trademark. ...First off, the JumboTron was/is a Sony trademark. Like WEGA or Trinitron. The term became somewhat generic like "coke" or "kleenex", but it was a Sony brand. Apparently our 'megatron' is just a nickname. A few other places seem to call their new screens that, but it doesn't appear to be a brand name.<BR/><BR/>Though i agree that 303 needs some new chants, most of them are pretty solid ("Sit Down Ya Loser" on penalties, "They Still Suck" after a power play, etc). Trouble with changing these is that it's always hard to get 15,000 people to do anything together...especially once you got many of them on the same page to start with. The only thing i am crying for them to get rid of is "Fang Fingers".<BR/><BR/>I also don't mind the "Like it, Love it" song. Gives Nashville something a little unique rather than just the "horn and hey". I'm not a country music fan at all, but i'll keep it.<BR/><BR/>As for the fans grousing about non-calls, etc...that's what their supposed to do! First: Not everyone in the stands is going to be an expert. They aren't supposed to be. But second - even those who know better are SUPPOSED to yell at the refs. That's part of being the home crowd and being obnoxious fans. We're SUPPOSED to harass the refs when they don't call the game horribly lopsided in our favor. We're SUPPOSED to harass the opposing players with stupid, juvenile taunts. If you don't want to hear all that stuff, then just stay at home and watch on TV. But make sure you buy a ticket for the game anyway...we need the help ;-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15054839933454487209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35868118.post-45272685724257520432007-10-29T07:38:00.000-05:002007-10-29T07:38:00.000-05:00I'm with jc up there!

Either way I got a kick out of it.<BR/><BR/>I agree with the video, they need to work on that. And give us some good vid clips to hype the crowd, so more music to cheer/clap to. And while I am on the subject of griping, please get rid of the "I like I love it" goal song, it freaking sucks. Blow the horn long & loud do the standard after goal chant you know "da dun dun dun HEY" etc. That stupid I like BS makes this town and its fans look worse then they are. And tell those morons in 303 to STFU, those chants/taunts are tired. Just like the majority of crowd participation going on, either started by the crowd or the Arena. <BR/><BR/>I hate to say it but this town and this team is in need of help. Hey when a player from your team gets knocked down, guess what? Its called Hockey, its a contact sport, it happens. It isnt ALWAYS a penalty, so dont groan when its not called. Please folks try to learn a bit more about the game and when to cheer/groan and when not to. Every save does not warrent a crowd roar, and a SUPER SAVE on the "Megatron"<BR/><BR/>thats it, Im spent.jchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16896154305020403499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35868118.post-43502362150769714092007-10-26T17:08:00.000-05:002007-10-26T17:08:00.000-05:00And most importantly...no tacos at the five-goal m...And most importantly...no tacos at the five-goal mark!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
