    Ok so right now as far as I know the only people that are willign to do the stand are monty, Mark from the rebellion and myself. Iknow the three of us would like to have one or more volunteers to help out but you got to be willing to stand up there and not get nervous and be slightly obnoxious.

    Second and this was my biggest pet peeve last year is batteries. i probably spent hundreds on them last year. People offered to help get them and get them in to the stadium through kyle lindsay or whoever else yet when ever it came time for me to ask someone to help out people would back down and I would have to go and spend more on them and go out of my way to get the batteries to someone who could bring them in (I don't park at the stadium so i have to make a special trip to get them there before game time). That being said all I'm asking for is a little help this year on this. I got a lot of complaints about the batteries dying last year and I don't think people realize that they all (maybe with one exception) came out of my pocket.

    I already own the bullhorn just want some volunteers to help out because it's expensive to keep it running. Also with all the excitement about getting a stand it's still kinda sad that there are only 3 people willing to do it.

    Sorry for my rant....

    well if I wasn't so big (I mean I'm not enormous, but I'm still big), I'd jump in and do it if needed.

    And if you volunteer to do the stand, remember you are up there to keep the chants together, not to show off for the camera. Use big hand motions, these can help more than the bullhorn at times.
