It would be awesome if today during the game instead of the CYCLONE POWER chant, we start a new tradition of- an "I WILL" chant. Students get it done!
"I Will" Chant
- Thread starter CyStalker
- Start date
I'm bumping this post because I still think this could be a very powerful chant, a very moving moment and a very unique tradition.
I think that it is fair to say that most of us, especially the players, thought this year could be something different than what played out in the first 5 weeks. But the past is what it is and we still have a lot to play for and a tough hill to climb to get there. With that said, I think this team proved in Manhattan that they have the talent, the heart and the WILL to make this year one to remember for all times.
It gives me chills to think about the chant "I"......"WILL" pouring down on these young men on Saturday. Jack Trice's legacy is cemented in our hearts, our team and our university and I can't think of anything more epic than this.

I second this idea. It would be so much better than Cyclone Power
We can have both. I just think there are times that this would give the young men that extra bit of power.
I like it. We're good at yelling Cyclone Power really loud but it's very generic.
That said, I've seen other teams/programs using "I Will". Isn't that straight from Jack Trice's letter? I understand we don't own the idea of "I will," but seems like it's been adopted.

It is from Jacks letter, so it has a very personal meaning for ISU.
I think it would sound really muddled really fast if you alternated single syllable words. Unless one side said “I will” and the other side followed with “I will”.
Good point. We have enough trouble clapping on beat. Keeping I Will slow enough to hear it would be impossible.
In think this would be awesome, but I wonder if it would work. Cyclone Power, each word has 2 syllables. Can the crowd get the timing right for I will?
No. The “I” might not be too bad, but the “will” part would get very sloppy.
How many people would ask you "You will what?". Seems like a small audience. Not that that's ever kept CF from making a lame t-shirt...
I think this part would be key, don't overuse it. I think if we used it on 3rd downs in the red zone to get a big stop, that would be pretty cool. Or other REALLY big 3rd downs.
I think a less filling / tastes great chant would be the best
It has its moments. Most schools have something similar. But "Cyclone Power" sounds like something they'd put in a movie trying to mimic what they think a sports crowd would chant.
