What does 'Rise up' mean?
 

Everyone else= Elevate yourself from the position you are in.
Falcons/fans = Choke during football, then b****.

And here I was thinking it was what the Deputy tells the defendants.

Re: What does 'Rise up' mean?
 

That's where the Falcons fans hear it most.

Re: What does 'Rise up' mean?
 

Precisely :)

Re: What does 'Rise up' mean?
 

Roughly translated, it's "Falconese" for "Letting your alligator mouth overload your canary (or falcon) arse".

Re: What does 'Rise up' mean?
 

... I guess it's like a double negative...

Get up off the floor.......you need another drink. :smile:

Re: What does 'Rise up' mean?
 

This comes to mind

Re: What does 'Rise up' mean?
 

Rise up.. And leave the stadium cause ur team lost.

Re: What does 'Rise up' mean?
 

Sort of what I was going to say. How embarrassing is it to have fans that leave before the game is even over. Falcons had a chance to tie the game with PLENTY of clock left and the stadium was EMPTY!

Falcons fans suck, plain and simple. Just glad I'm not one of them!!

Re: What does 'Rise up' mean?
 

I watched last nights game just so I could personally witness the Falcons lose. It wasn't as satisfying as a Saints victory, but it was well worth my time.

Re: What does 'Rise up' mean?
 

Didn't you guys know?

"Rise up" is what you tell Atlanta girls when they're done taking care of your business down there.

Re: What does 'Rise up' mean?
 

Ewwwww. Slummin Halo?

Re: What does 'Rise up' mean?
 

was at the game a few years ago in ATL when they had clinched and we needed it for the WC. We were trying to kill the clock and had a big third down. I expected a massive roar to support the D, but instead, fans were pouring out of the stadium.
Very typical. Absolutely shi**y sports town. (no, the Braves are not anywhere close to sold out for the playoffs)

Re: What does 'Rise up' mean?
 

Even the supporting fans know they choke in the 2nd half. Already threads of firing everybody and trading Skid Britches on the other side(Falcons Life)...

Re: What does 'Rise up' mean?
 

Shining your shoes? :mrgreen: ... and yeah, I've never heard a stadium so quiet for a Monday Night Game, there was no real difference in the noise level when either team had the ball. Way to represent ATL, :rolleyes: ... football just must not be that important in that town, and it shows.

Re: What does 'Rise up' mean?
 

Nah bro, like when she's done cleaning your toilet and the bathroom floor with her toothbrush, we say "RISE UP!"
It's become, like you know, a part of their culture and customs. :grin:

Re: What does 'Rise up' mean?
 

Oh... Ok. I figured it was after she picked both teeth up off the floor.

Re: What does 'Rise up' mean?
 

Well, that too.
See how flexible of an expression it is for them?

Re: What does 'Rise up' mean?
 

I don't usually listen to Colin cowherd when he goes on his rants, unless their interesting......today it was, he talked about three teams who we've (fans....) have been waiting to see flourish and has never happened. Cinncinati, Houston, and the Atlanta Falcons. His quote was something like "Tom Brady comes to your house, with you being an elite team and whips you with no named wideouts, a fullback who's name I couldn't find on the roster and a tight end who's name is derived from a player getting a reprieve on a bad golf shot!!!!!

Re: What does 'Rise up' mean?
 

I fixed it for you!!

Good win yesterday buddy!!!

Re: What does 'Rise up' mean?
 

I fixed it for you!

Re: What does 'Rise up' mean?
 

Rise up and come get your big L cause Saints are tired of delivering it to you.

Re: What does 'Rise up' mean?
 

Since I am skipping a little school tomorrow, I have some extra time, so...

"Rise Up" is a redundant imperative, with an implied subject, 'you', which can be singular or plural. Since 'rise' implies ascension, the preposition 'up' is superfluous.


Translation: it's a stupid cheer used to motivate stupid people

Re: What does 'Rise up' mean?
 

They should try "breaking bad" before "rising up".

Re: What does 'Rise up' mean?
 

Or just bad...

Re: What does 'Rise up' mean?
 

RISE UP ATLANTA !! and get us some coffee.

Re: What does 'Rise up' mean?
 

It's a desperate call to the team and it's fans in the 4th quarter. The fans are just taking it literally by rising up and leaving.

We've seen this type of team before. Is Matt Ryan the new Aaron Brooks? Tons of stats, one playoff win.
Gonzalez is the new Boo?
Roddy=Horn
Grace Jones =Stallworth. (Julio is much better than Donte but both are fast.)
Mike Smith=Jim Haslett?

Re: What does 'Rise up' mean?
 

Rise up, the bed sores need to dry out on that side.

Re: What does 'Rise up' mean?
 

I think you both mean "losing", why would they start waiting for the finish now?

Re: What does 'Rise up' mean?
 

Wait till the 4th quarter, then fold like a lawn chair.
