- Tribute to your favorite Cubbie, Shawon "Thunderpup" Dunston
- What one says after the box roll is crummy right before they remember the 15 yard penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct if they finish the word
- What Sha Na Na now has to call themselves because of legal complications over the trademark use of the band name after their lead singer left
Am I close??

The term originated back in 1974 when a 10 year old Tony "Tony Paul" Jones meant to say Shazam but instead would utter Sha! After awhile it became commonplace and a staple in the Detroit Electric Football League that Ran until 1999 where the remaining members were absorbed by the Great Lakes League. I consider it the only battle cry related to miniature football! Hopefully, you will hear it in the fall! What a release!
Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!
