The appropriate title for this thread would be "Can anybody stop the Neers?"

If Auburn won five national titles in the last 10 years, App students would be saying "War Damn Neers!"

"Neers" is okay. "Roll Neers" needs to die.

Sooo, if students wanted App in purple and green uniforms, that would be good as long as they enjoyed it?
Seriously, I really don't care about "neer's" but I do believe traditions are what define a school. Ask UNCC about their traditions.

Still more tolerable than Appy State, so there's that.

As a young alumni, I think what is most tiring about this, is the fact that so many of you try to define happiness for the rest of the fan base. IT’S OK for other generations to establish their own traditions. You guys call them “Apps,” and a lot of younger people say “‘Neers,” so what? If it helps young alumni and students develop that emotional attachment to the program, then let it be. It’s hilarious because you guys will constantly talk about the lack of passion from students and young alums, but when they try to get involved you demand they do it your way or don’t be fans at all. Can’t have it all.

No complaining here until it crosses over to innappropriate, then it’s gotta go. Music, language, gestures, there is a line at an event that has children. Not saying you can’t have all the freedoms this country affords, but there is an appropriate time and place.

No we are trying to maintain and perpetuate traditions.....You think students at Alabama are trying to change "Roll Tide"? Penn State students changing a white out to a blue out? VaTech changing Enter Sandman to some rap song? No we get the "You suck ahole" tradition. Embrace the old don't throw it out for some millennial fad du jour. Traditions span generations.

In the 70s, we frequently referred to ourselves as the 'Neers. GO 'NEERS Beat the Tros.

Rek, I get what you’re saying and my point isn’t to throw out old traditions, but establishing that new generations of students aren’t allowed to generate their own traditions, is just asinine.

I just graduated in May and over the 4 years in school I can safely say I heard ‘Neers probably 90% of the time as opposed to Apps or whatever term, so that’s what most students are going to use love it or hate it.

I seem to recall hearing "Neers" when I was in school in the 90s. I don't particularly care for it but whatever. I don't think it's a new thing. Then again "Appy" and "App- a- LAY-shun" dont really bother me either. Call us what you want, just call us.

I'd rather hear App students and alums say "Go Neers" than "Go Heels" but that's a story for another thread.

Seriously though, I'd hate to be with some of you on Thanksgiving if whomever cooked departed from some arbitrary "tradition" like lumps in the mashed potatoes or something. It would be THE END OF THE WORLD.
The cabbage is traditional, Mark!
