This was just posted on RBF...
Hopefully it will help resolve the problem...

Because the Star Transport issue and Bradley being "stuck up" are not getting old from isu fans (and I have not see you post those here). Maybe get off your high horse and stop those from going on and you will have more credibility telling us to stop
Thank you, Rusty.
If you read it, I said in the post that our student section has gotten much better over the last couple of years in terms of numbers and class. I'm probably a bad example to use, but overall it's better.
Also, "I Screwed Up" isn't vulgar and is a nice little alternate expansion on the isu acronym. I didn't say we're perfect.. I held that we work a lot better with the families that come to carver than the isu kids do at their place.

I was going to avoid this thread all together, but this post caught my eye. The two redbird chants revolve heavily around an explicit. I don't need to explain that for that to be obvious. However, the two Bradley chants have nothing explicit at all. Unless some of you are considering Pluck the Birds to be explicit, which until you said this, I never had an inclination of this, not to mention we as a student section never had chanted that at all, let alone for it to be intended as an explicit. I Screwed Up is derrogatory, most chants are, but like I said there is no intent on throwing around explicits. I sure as heck don't expect an 8 year old to write in about someone saying the word screwed.
The point is, I Screwed Up and Pluck the Birds are not a play on explicit phrases. FU BU, and Buck ******* have every intention of giving that air.

Wellllllllllllll....one of the last 5 years I was at Carver (not sure which)... they either gave away towels or shirts that said Pluck the Birds... and that is a fact! So I am going to have to disagree with the above post...
And there is one small book store that used to sell Buck F*radley T-shirt several years ago (The two main bookstores on campus have NEVER sold Buck F*radley shirts...at least since the early 90's when my brothers were at ISU).
They did not sell them the 4 years I was a student there (03-07)... so I highly doubt you saw over 2000 of them last year. 80% of the students where the "Red Alert" shirt they are asked to wear. The rest are either not in the Red Alert, or chose not to wear it.
Bottom line is that something official is finally being done about the cheer. This is in addition to the messages that were sent out to Red Alert members on facebook. It sucks that this couldn't be self-policed, but as I've said many times----tell students (especially drunk students) what NOT to do, and it still happens out of spite. That was the case for awhile last year anyway.
Hopefully this puts an end to it once and for all.

You're right, two years ago we received shirts and towels that said "Pluck the Birds"....where is the problem with that? I suppose the "Box the Birds" shirts were somehow problematic as well. I'm sorry, but only you find any problem with a shirt that says "Pluck the Birds." I am a 21 year old foul-minded senior who has sat in the senior section for a long time and I see nothing explicit in the saying "Pluck the Birds." Birds have feathers, feathers are plucked last time i checked. I'm sorry if you take offense to the fact that it coincidentally rhymes with an explicit word, you have to take that up with Merriam-Webster.

I just don't like getting called out, then prove that person is wrong and I am right, then have all posts deleted... that is my only gripe
