Official Cheers of The Barnyard

In the spirit of the Left..Right foul cheer:
When the opposing team's on the free-throw line, shout exactly what the free throw shooter is doing. For everytime the free-throw shooter bounces the ball everyone yells "BOUNCE!!", "SPIN" for everytime the shooter spins the ball, etc. Just as the shooter is focusing, fans yell out,"Waaaaaaaaaiiiiiiittt......SHOOT" (right when the shooter is about to shoot)!!

Stand up, alumni, stand up!clap..clap (3x) followed by
On your feet! On your feet! Repeated quickly until it fades.
