Or the. W Y O Cheer from the east side to the West and back and forth. LOST!!

That, my man, when done properly, was outstanding and intimidating for the visitors. Since 2015 or so, UW has tried to bring it back, and they just - don't - get - it!

The cheer leaders are mentally retarded and can’t understand it

So good! Great, we could just start that again, right?
I remember this happening once in the Billings Metra during a UW/MSU game. That was a pretty fun night.

The cheerleaders have no idea. It would take one of us and the public address person to help coordinate it a few times to get it right. I have called many times but Zilch !!

I’ll do it. Let me and my family handle it. It would not be hard to execute whatsoever!

It has to be choreographed at a specific point as a spontaneously timed cheer doesn’t fit.
It has been a dud for the most part when tried because nobody gets overly excited about it after the opponent has just gone up by 14.
After we score it’s Gem City for all your orthopedic needs.
Just do it once right before the kick-off.

The marketing department once told me they have to schedule the cheer into the game program and they can’t do it at the beginning of the game because those time slots are valuable and they can’t waste it on the W-Y-O cheer. So we get the cheer late in the 4th quarter. So they pretty much just tell the fans to F off

Naw right after kickoff in the 1st qtr

Absolutely true. My kid was a game day intern for the sports programs. Received a time defined step by step what’s next. The primary spontaneity is pretty much the playing of ragtime after a score. The only truly unscripted deviation allowed is if one of the teams calls a timeout which isn’t built into the script. Then you may get a cheerleading action or the beer song.
If a certain cheer is scripted it is often allowed for example at the media time out after the first punt or turnover under 10 minutes in the 2nd quarter. It is literally that scripted.
The bad part is the cheer is supposed to excite the fans but often falls after a colossal failure by the Wyoming team when no one is in the mood to be fervently rabid.

The beer song is 100% scripted into the timeline of the game. The band and stadium sound folks have a very specific coordiation of who plays what when.

One would think! But you can’t make any money off a time honored tradition, so the fans get F’ed
I am somewhat confused by this.
It's been a while since I've been able to attend a game in person in Laramie, but I seem to recall several times during the pregame when there was generic "hype music" being played over the stadium speakers. It wasn't just all advertisements. Can't they just replace one of these musical interludes with the W-Y-O cheer?

It is all about the $$$$ now - fans in attendance are inundated with advertising and similar. I dread the 2:40 timeouts that occur numerous times in game.
