Something that bothers me way more than the woohoo
Mar 21, 2013, 2:49 PM
|

is the huge amount of people who don't extend their arm at the right time during the Alma Mater.
Your arm should not be extended at "echo," but rather at "o'er."
Also, when you do extend your arm, you do so with your thumb tucked underneath and your four fingers outstretched to symbolize the removal of the hats worn by the original cadets, and the rat caps long worn by freshmen. If you're wearing a hat, it is of course acceptable to remove and wave it rather than an empty hand.
Butchering a long-standing Clemson tradition such as this irks me far more than the attempt to start a "new" tradition with the woo-hoo ever could.

those who don't understand your shaking your hand is the ECHO, so do it after.

Talking about the speed or the change of the original words from "Fight Tigers, Fight D***it, Fight Fight Fight" to the more PC "Fight Tigers, Fight Tigers...."?
I don't have an issue with the speed, although there are specific instances where the original cadence would work better, but I still use the original words 90% of the time.

People with improper thumb position

Should never be allowed to enter the stadium again. They are a disgrace to Clemson. If I could accurately ascertain which vehicle was theirs, I would slash their tires.

Most people in my section wave during "And the home of the

So, those who start on echo and not o'er, I feel like are close enough.

The amount of people raising their arms at "echo" seems to increase every year. Sad, really...
