MOE Sticks: Good or Evil?
Hi Everyone,
There's been some talk, some good - some bad, about our team's cheer. We've got a title to defend now, so I don't think we'll ever get rid of it, but I'd like to know what you all think about it. At almost all competitions we go to, we hear things about the cheer from teams, but I'm not sure if its mocking it or just having a good time. Personally, because of our handout this year (earplugs), I don't think it was too bad, but what do you think about the OH oh OH oh! <clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap> GO MOE! ? |

I got the ear plugs, the button, a pair of sticks and also a MOE t-shirt!
I still caught myself sometimes thinking "clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, GO MOE!". National Team Spirit Award totally deserved. Congratulations! You guys were awesome there. |

I wasn't at the championships this year, but if they were anything like the staves of a couple years ago with which some team pounded the bleachers into submission -- Pure unadulterated EVIL!

Good: Spirit is always good (just look at my team, woot)
Evil: Spirit awards not being won by my team aren't good ![]() Good: MOE rocks, and I cheered along almost every time Evil: My hands hurt trying to keep up with MOE without sticks of my own. I'm torn! |

CLAP,CLAP,CLAP,CLAP,CLAP,CLAP,CLAP,CLAP,CLAP, GO MOE ! Being a freshman, I have not had the chance to really hear your cheer but after three days at Virginia and Philly, I sometimes catch my self doing it. AHHHHHH!!!! MAKE IT STOP!!!! (Not you stop your cheer, just it repeating in my head over and over and over and over and over.) BTW, congrats on your National Team Spirit award and Philly chairmans award. You deserve it. Your green shirts are real hard to miss. I WANT ONE! Good job this year and I see you next year.

is there any way to make insulated banging sticks, so that they won't make so much noise?
The problem with earplugs is if you want to talk to someone, you need to take them out, and risk permanant hearing loss. MOE has excellent spirit, the J&J Midatlantic regional wasnt quite the same without them, but -- oh god--the noise, is such a pain behind the eyes. Insulated banging sticks - i like it - sound-proof DJ speakers - even better Here's one for the guys at DEKA: sound wave inhitbitor fields - set the up to block all noise by reflected sound waves with counter waves ![]() |

Since my freshman year in the program the MOE team has been my adopted team. The MOE cheer is something they do very well, but not the only thing. They have a top notch pit crew, drivers, and all and all great color!! Yes, the ear plugs were needed when sitting in the stands with them, but it was well worth the noise.
Not to brag, but I also am the proud owner of a MOE t-shirt, MOE stix....( that were signed by a certain someone ) ha haha ha), green and black bandana, the holographed stickers (which were very limited this year), and ALOT of great memories......Thank you guys for another great National Event and hope to see you back down there next year!! I still find myself saying the cheer and I even caught myself today taping it out on my desk...oops!! Michelle ps...there was another MOE cheer. I think two years ago it went something like this.... Hi ho Hi ho it's off to MOE we go, but I don't remember exactly how the rest of it went. Does anyone know?!? |

I dont want to be negative, our dampen your enthusiasm, but the noise generated by banging sticks and such can be really hard on the ears, especially the drivers, who cannot wear earplugs. Im not saying stop, but try not to make our ears bleed...

Good Point
I never thought about the people on the field trying to communicate back and forth. Well, I guess that would be a draw back. Maybe they should only do it before and after the match. Hummm.........

As for the staves you are talking about, I remember seeing teams a couple of years ago use broomsticks with a coke bottles full of beans attached to one end of the stick. They would bang the wood end of the stick against the bleachers. I think those sticks were banned from competitions due to the heavy amount of damage which they inflicted on the bleachers, which angered the hosts of the competitions. |

When going to the parks and outside the competition, we would yell "GO MOE!" at the top of our lungs at the sight of a bright green jersey.

It was funny to see regular Disney visitors stare at the MOE green jerseys that appeared to be radioactive in the Florida Sun. Sunscreen should have been one of our giveaways. We also served as FIRST ambassadors by telling everyone who asked, "So what’s with the shirts?" all about FIRST. |
