So glad you mentioned the stunts during the LA road trips. I'm actually trying to convince Cal Athletics to get permission from UC Los Angeles to permit our student section (there *will* be one, according to The Gold Standard ticket ofc) to perform card stunts this year at the Rose Bowl. Was afraid I was misremembering. If there are any Rally Comm alums from that era on BI, please message me.southseasbear said:Agreed! In my day (mid to late '70's) we had card stunts at every game (including the game played in L.A.!).TheFiatLux said:
Gawd what a bunch of unhappy people.
Just keep the card stunts simple and you should be fine.
This one for the Oregon game in 2010 is fantastic (and not that long ago).
Clearly the section needs to be packed. If it's not then it probably makes sense not to do them.
Cal can't win. People ***** and moan about our lack of holding onto traditions, and here we go just wanting to discard one of the greatest traditions in college sports that by the way we started.
Having card stunts at only 2-3 games is a terrible idea. They are difficult, particularly the motion stunts, and take practice to learn. The first game should be simple stunts with maybe 2 cards (double sided for a total of 4 colors). Then with each succeeding game, they can get more complex and sophisticated. They should also think of reducing the size of the card stunt area so that it can be filled with less than great attendance.
Patience is a virtue, but I’m not into virtue signaling these days.
