Letter From The Editor
Greetings Seminole Fans!
Thank you for picking up a copy of the Official Songbook of "The Animals of Section B"…the cheers behind some of the best fans, in the best facility, of the best team in college baseball. I hope that you enjoy the songs, chants, and humor contained herein!
I volunteered to take the reigns of the songbook this season, and as a result, you may notice a few changes…not to mention the addition of new tunes inspired by the events and persons of the past few seasons. But, the classics still remain! A number of the new songs are "jabs" at particular individuals (most of them, Animals), so you may not quite understand the humor behind them…but believe me…they are meant to be funny!
Of course, not everyone finds the humor or antics of the Animals to be funny or even appropriate. Please know that when we're not trying to amuse ourselves, we are trying to cheer on the `Noles, or psych-out the opposition. We'll be the first (usually) to bark and howl at poor sportsmanship or a bad call (as we see it), but we'll also be the first to applaud and cheer on a great play or great accomplishment by any player (except for maybe one from Miami or Florida!).
All that I ask is this — if you should find yourself disagreeing with something that we've said or done, bring your concerns to my attention. At the very least, I'll hear you out…I can promise you that! However, please understand that, although we do make efforts to police ourselves, we can't please everyone. Our primary purpose is to support the team, and to that end, we will continue to do what the team and coaches appreciate!
Thanks again for picking up a songbook. With your support, and the support of our sponsors, we can continue what has become a 25-year tradition!
Best of luck to the Seminoles for a successful season!

Assistant Zookeeper and Songbook Editor
