The chant will begin when the stadium’s countdown clock reaches two minutes, right before kickoff.
Gardner said he hopes that with the participation of the student section, the “We Believe, Jump Around,” as he calls it, will help make Bryant-Denny “the loudest and best stadium in the country.”
“I saw this as an opportunity to show our players how much we believe in them, as they have believed in us all year and have played for 4-27-11 this whole season by dominating opponents week in and week out,” Gardner said. “I want us to ‘jump for Tuscaloosa’ as a way of everyone uniting in a jump to hype up our players, as well as the whole nation watching on TV, and most importantly, for everyone to jump as a community to show that we believe in this city and our University coming back strong through Alabama football and this 2011 season.”
“It’s more than just a chant for the game – it’s about the whole town,” said Golson, who is excited to see that the cheer has become a reality. “There is so much to play for – more than just the game, but for the entire city of Tuscaloosa, the state of Alabama and Alabama fans everywhere.”
