Rowdy Reptiles have formed a student organization to "take things to the next level"...

Great Idea I think. We are coming after you Duke. Be ready!!!!

It is a good idea. Wish it happened a decade ago. Better late than never.

Now if the students could fill that section up again...

Duke? So u want to hand out cheer sheets to coordinate all your efforts? You want to have no social skills? Duke is not what you should aspire to that is a very low level. Heck even missou does a much better job then duke in rattling opponents.

Aim high not low.

Hey 'pac..hate to break it to you but I guarantee they are going to do Duke'ish type things (maybe even cheer sheets). The guy who is leading it is legit though. It's gonna get better and that's all that matters.

I would have laughed in the face of anyone attempting to hand me a cheer sheet.

So explain to me how the guy leading it is "legit"?

lets gooo!

While I appreciate the effort for the Men's program, I do wish they would also try to do the same for the Women's program. It would be so great to see support to grow for both teams.

GatorLurker · 09-13-2012, 04:59 PM

I agree with Tupac on this one.

"Cheer sheets? Cheer sheets? We don't need no stinkin' cheer sheet!"

What they need to do is to go back to the "camp out" version of priority for the Rowdy section. That is the way to get rabid student fans down low. The RR section has been tame lately. I suspect that is because the system in place is easy to "game".

Jake (a.k.a. the rowdy town mayor) is one of the best things to happen to Gator Basketball. Read Patric Young's tweets, the players genuinely appreciate the Rowdies and everything he does. If the players like it and it increases interest in the basketball program then it's a good thing.

GatorPlanet · 09-14-2012, 06:59 PM

Sounds like a good step. I'd like to see them get the Rowdies even more rabid, and then focus on the lower section all around. Our fans seated behind the goals are among the least distracting toward free-throw shooters I've seen.

The biggest thing that could happen would be to just get the student body at large more energized. There should never be all those empty rows in the top section.

Really?

I sit there and I was singled out in an Alligator article for my "low class" taunting of Douglas Edwards.

He missed both FT's, BTW.

I will give the whole story if asked.

The guy behind the hoop with antlers and panties is great.

Yes, really.
I attend a lot of the home games so I have a good idea of the scenario. Usually a handful of fans behind the hoop give it their all--and I'm sure you're one of the few--but by and large, they sit and watch. Unlike other places I see on TV, in which the end sections are organized and can produce weird, orchestrated movements that could be very distracting.

Whether you think it's dorky or not, at least their trying to be good fans. The football fans could probably learn a thing or two from this group.

Ok. I'll ask. What's the whole story?

anstro76 · 09-15-2012, 12:05 PM

any group of students who want to amp it up to support the gators get my love, don't care how they go about it. some of you are just too cool.

Gatorgal04 · 09-15-2012, 12:43 PM

I love the Rowdies! I've changed my seat a number of times over the years, but always make sure I sit on the opposite side so I can watch them. Can't wait to see the new stuff!

Jonas · 09-15-2012, 01:39 PM

Good. With the way Muschamp is running our football program, we are about to become a basketball school /troll

Gator_Joe · 09-16-2012, 05:17 PM

I would have no problem with cheer sheets if that's what it takes. To be as intense of a fan section as Duke, Cuse, Uk would be nothing short of great in my opinion. I think this is a excellent move.
