    Not a fan of the ooh ahh, but it doesn't look like the student section is going to let that one go

    Here I am, evolving into one of the old heads

    I remember from back in the 90's and 00's (it may go back further, I am going by my living memory here as a 39-yeard-old) when our band would play "Hey! Baby", the crowd always added in that "Ooh! Ah!" after singing" "Heeeeeeeey babbyyyyy" so it being inserted after a similar vibe during "I Won't Back Down" just seems a natural extension of that, to be honest. Like a collective memory of generations of Gator game attendance past. Echoes swirling around the stadium.

    I have vivid memories of that: "Heeeeeey babbyyyy (ooh! ah!) I wanna knoooooow if you'll be my giiiiirl" BUM BUM BUM BUM dadadada

    Say what you will about Napier, but his players like him and are playing FOR him. Not sure I see that about Kelly, just sayin'.

    So pop culture was my answer. It’s what I figured.

    They were nasty before that - the kind of fans that have their toddlers giving you the middle finger from the side of the road (this actually happened to me at a home game). I'm a Cajun - I know what kind of dicks they can be - funny as hell in an extremely caustic way but watch out if you're not one of them.

    It's that southern fried hate we get from our jnbred SEC neighbors. When you can't read and have sex with your relatives you have to stick together to survive. Disparaging higher functioning schools like UF is their way of bonding (in addition to mating with family members).
    Whew...that felt good to type that.

    I can understand the need to motivate a team. But there is motivation and there is sheer arrogance. His comments cross the line.

    I don't think it was "Hey Baby" it was "Gators got that Ramma-Jamma....Oooh-Ahhh"

    Something about when they are up going into the 4th quarter that he wants to remember those words.
    Didn't quite work out for him, maybe he couldn't remember them.

    Yeah - he and his team backed down out of the stadium in the 4th quarter.
