Two stories:
A few years back, during a time-out in a county varsity game, the visiting cheerleaders came onto the court and did a cheer. As the cheerleaders left the court two students from the home side jumped onto the floor. One got down on his hands and knees, while the other squatted down and "milked" him like a cow. It was hilarious, but almost caused a riot. Game management had to hold up the game while they moved the visiting students to the far end of the gym (where they probably should've been anyway).
This year, we had a boy on varsity who was largely on the team because of his enthusiasm and ability to generate camaraderie. Also for those reasons, he's a popular kid at school. Late one game, coach put him in. When he fired up an air ball, the crowd - his crowd - chanted "air ball".
