Is the phrase "Restoring the Roar", as used in the presser announcing the start of basketball practice, just a one-time rhetorical flourish, or was it conceived by the Athletic Department brain trust to be the slogan for this year's Ramblers? http://www.loyolaramblers.com/sports/m- ... 13aab.html Because as a slogan it's just...awful, difficult to pronounce, disrespectful of past teams, and easy prey for parody. This last objection, of course, makes me hope they use it; the jokes practically write themselves. I guess we'll find out soon if "Restore the Roar" is here to stay. |

Restore the howl doesn't have the same ring to it. |

Erasin' the Jason works for me as this year's slogan. Better still, REPLACE M. GRACE. |

Thanks to ahunte for pointing out that wolves don't roar, they howl; it inspired me to compose this little "Restore the Roar" cheer: On o mat o poe ia Hip Hip Hooray This is what the animals say: Ducks quack Dogs bark Pigs oink back On Noah's ark. Monkeys howl Wolves do too All of them Except for Lu Lu don't stutter Lu don't snore What he utters Is a ROAR. Lu's roar is loud Lu's roar's sublime And he's so proud It also rhymes...(with "restore") RESTORE THE ROAR RESTORE THE ROAR RESTORE THE ROAR http://www.thefreedictionary.com/onomatopoeia |
