Why are we here at midnight?” They explained that the student body always gathered the night before games in order to practice the yells that we would all be shouting in unison the following day. Like I said: uni ue. But it had a certain logic to it. A crowd of thousands all yelling the exact same well rehearsed chant throughout the game had proven to be a successful tactic to intimidate and confuse opposing teams.
