Generic?

I never heard it anywhere before Finch and Memphis. To me, it has always been a signature cheer in Memphis since the '80s.

Maybe it's "generic" now. Maybe I'm mistaken and it didn't start with Memphis... but I certainly have always felt it was a "memphis thing."

Nah, I made more fun of the accompanying and inevitable follow up of "MOVE!".

I sure do miss hearing it.

But, it was no different than the stomping, waving, freaking out that coaches do these days to get their teams to clamp down on the defensive end when they are in need of a stop at a crucial point in the game.

Exactly. I'd give anything to see him sprinting up and down the sidelines yelling 'D-up and MOVE!" while fiercely gripping that rolled up menu in his hands. RIP Coach.

Yep it started here. Sure it was around but never so popular as with Larry. I just wish the fanbase would scream it more loudly. Sounds intimidating to me, with the clapping in between and all.
