The Anti-SOB thing on IG is amusing. I'm all for removing the megaphone & rotating in some new chants. Sometimes it does get old & fresh vibes are never a bad thing. Idk what a petition is going to do though if there's not actual conversations/suggestions being had lol

itās the same people that always complain and moan and then offer up 0 solutions.
there are plenty of things to improve, some possible, some not. but iām so tired of ātheyāre ruining the atmosphereā coming from the same people who sit on their phone and offer nothing better.
@SoB_Evan
Well said, Evan. Honestly, only thing I'd wish is for them to have the same energy as KSU, but so many fans stand quietly. That's not an SOB problem tho, that's TRE problem. People stand there & don't join in on anything. IDC what the new chants are, can't force people to sing
@mbarrera1323
Also a lesson in how narratives and info are easily made up. All of this literally started from a Reddit echo chamber with the same handful of dudes with a rotation of usernames stroking each otherās egos. This is also why we survey and engage membership to hear from REAL members
@ErickTheSoB
I donāt use Reddit and all I hear about Union Reddit is that itās a place where dreams go to die š has always sounded awful, worse then Union Facebook.
@mbarrera1323
I think the unfortunate reality is that for a lot of people, they feel there isn't a great way to get new ideas in front of those in charge.
Sure there are forms and all of that, but these people feel dismissed. Whether you agree with them feeling that way or not, it's happening
@puertodelphian
Oh I agree itās happening, in what capacity idk, but itās ultimately a 2 way street. The pure opposition though without clear suggestions is what gets me laughing (like the IG page I came across).
@mbarrera1323
I think it's a reaction to the great work KSU is doing with new, fresh chants. I know and respect many people in the SOB. They sacrifice lots of time and energy for this team. But, it does feel like the SOB has potential that isn't met. The question is, how do we get there?
@NathanDole2
New chants over the offseason will help at least get the ball rolling, and removing the megaphone. Majority of people that Iāve spoken to have said It sounds better when itās not around. The crowd noise alone always sounds better IMO.
@mbarrera1323
I seen stuff but im on vacation so I havenāt been paying attention. But its the same stuff all the time. The reddit stuff is a bit to extreme so i dont go on that. But if people would just be positive the sob is the reason why I joined in the first place because of the passionā¦
@mbarrera1323
Iāve long felt the SoBās impact is both over exaggerated and under appreciated at the same time. They played a key role before there was a team, an overstated role in the league finally putting a team here and have done a lot to attract fans to the team.
@mbarrera1323
I made a suggestion to start a go fund me for better music equipment. Part of the issues with the chanting is it doesn't reach to the outer sections like 134 because we can't hear the beats. So it get out of sync or we can't hear when opposing drums are there
@mbarrera1323
I for one can't wait to see the new things that these petition people implement/pay for/get people to do/and continue to do and oversee. Cause that's exactly what will happen riiiiight??! Lol
@mbarrera1323
The SOB needs new chants. The chants feel that they are pre k chants. I hardly go to a game and feel that SOB is leading the crowd to support and be loud. It often feels the crowd is leading the SOB. It has felt like the same old thing for years there.
@mbarrera1323
A petition isnāt going to do anything. Itās ridiculous. But also, going to that length to get rid of the megaphone, or change how itās used should be a sign to the higher ups in the group. Just my 2 cents. Iām clearly not affiliated with the group anymore so i donāt really care
