Q: I do not understand why the tradition, one that I have seen since 1959, of the Brigade cheering for their opponents and turning and cheering for Navy was replaced by some lame singing of something that I surely could not have recognized. Some things just shouldn't be messed with.
Also, what happened to the portable toilets on the gold side?? - asked by: John Menocal -
A: I've had a number of alumni and friends mention that they miss the traditional hat-trick cheer and our salute to the visiting team. The changes were made by the Brigade Staff to simply mix it up a bit and introduce a new dimension of spirit through the pre-game songs. I understand from a number of people that there are mixed emotions about this decision. However, I assure you it's being reviewed and regardless of what takes place, I'm hopeful that you'll cheer with the Brigade or sing along as they generate spirit in anticipation of the game.
Also, the toilets were an oversight...by the staff...no excuses...a bone fide mistake.
