Miami Hurricane Sign

[BlueHair]

Why do Ute fans do the Miami Hurricane sign with their hands? Are they trying to rile BYU fans up? Don't they remember that BYU won the game against Miami? It is really confusing.

steelblue has a really good idea for a new "sign" BYU can use to not feel left out of having a cool sign like the Utes 2-handed "U" and the hand claw used by the horned frogs... If you're interested, you should contact him. He kept doing it during the game, and I think it is at least partially why the Cougs won. It's kind of like a 2 pawed motion made to a growling noise.

That sounds cool, but I doubt it will catch on. BYU likes to have unique traditions. As far as stealing traditions go, Miami isn't a bad choice. They are a school with a lot of tradition.

The University of Utah is about 100 years older than the University of Miami.

With 1/10th of the football tradition. Miami is a good team to try to emulate. It's not an insult.

No joke here. Someone tried to officially get this going when I was just off my mission in 92. There was a bit on it in the Daily Universe.

The stadium used to blare "Black cat" by Janet Jackson after the taped "cougar growl." As fans, we were "encouraged" to make a growling noise and a paw motion in the air after the taped cougar growl. The idea was that we intimidate the opponent.

The Cougar paw never really caught on.

The Cosmo movies are definitely a top shelf tradition for certain

Utah has been making the 'U' sign for 100 years longer than Miami? Is that what you're trying to say?

Anyone see Tevita Hola come out during the senior ceremony before the game making the U sign and then immediately going to a throat slash? It was on the jumbotron. With the Royal blues on he must have been signaling his hatred for that number 1 Miami team.

I miss Black Cat blaring. I thought that was a great song to fire things up. I wish they still played it.

The only thing lamer than Utah fans stealing the Miami "U" (I noticed Ray Lewis and Ed Reed both said they were from the "U" last night in introductions, I wonder if people think they played at Utah?) is BYU fans doing the upside down "U" hand signal.
