The Armada

Just riding the waves of our own hopes, never stopping for air!

Alright, here’s the official video from the derby for all the skeptics out there who think we weren't showing up. It's about 4 minutes long, featuring the choreography and flares...

Personally, I think our display was pretty solid, especially since the club is sitting right at 10th place—we aren't exactly fighting relegation, but let's be real, we aren't exactly sprinting toward a championship either. The flare show felt just like the old days, while the choreo felt like a glimpse into what's coming next. We had smoke, strobes during the display, then more fire hitting around the 60th minute, plus firecrackers and those loud cannons... The chanting was spot on in the first half. Even after the 60th, things picked back up and stayed good through the end...

Could someone please write out the lyrics to this song once the flare lighting starts? ☕

Navy choreography 👍 (though they really should have had a flag on the third pole)
-songs 👎 are the biggest plagiarists out there..
- and I.S.A. - zero points

That was a beautiful show by the Navy—the choreography was spot on and the pyrotechnics were top-tier—but that opening bit of music at the start of the video 😁 and then the way the song fades out through all those flares... honestly, I think I caught some of the lyrics about how life just isn't worth living without a good bourbon, which sounds pretty much like the anthem Cohort sings.
😁

I suppose the song "I'd give up my life without bourbon" belongs to you all, doesn't it??😍😍😍

For as long as I can remember, we’ve been singing "to hell with life without whiskey," and I’ve been following Cleveland for over 20 years...

That was actually the first song I learned 😁 back when I started hitting up games in '90.
Kudos to you guys... you nailed it. Navy Vanguard. Keep it up.
👍👍

And you know the booze is always part of the deal—let’s just go all out, everyone together, hands in the air, singing our hearts out with thousands of voices shouting "Alele ale ale ale!" Honestly, life would be absolutely pointless without some good old bourbon... hahaha. Seriously though, where was the rest of the crowd when we were busy writing all those anthems about the good stuff?

To the 12th Man 😁

In my opinion, our display was excellent given that the club is sitting in 10th place—we aren't in any danger of relegation, but we aren't exactly fighting for the title either. The flare show felt just like old times, while the choreography felt like a glimpse into the future. We had smoke and strobes during the choreo, followed by more fire at the 60th minute, plus firecrackers and those loud confetti cannons... The chanting was great during the first half, and things picked right back up again from the 60th minute onward...

Kudos to everyone involved in the visual presentation.👍

Look, this is our thing. We’ve been beltin' this out for at least twenty years now.

What was the line from the original song again—something along the lines of "life is just Schubert, a bit of gambling..."?

What was that line from the song again? Something like "Life is just Schubert, a big gamble..."?

Those letters don't have anything to do with the tone, except maybe those two or three lines...

Did I actually hear that from Ada while hanging out with the Ultras, or was I just wasted? 😕 🤣 😁

Roger Nguyen42 said:Maybe I heard Adele mention it at the Navy show, or maybe I was just drunk. 😕 🤣 😁

And honestly, you're the one I like... I don't get it, though. How can such a great group nail the choreography and come up with killer messages, yet still struggle to write their own songs? Nowadays, originality is everything...

As if we needed more "originality" thrown in our faces...😂

The Navy is solid... I don't know why, but your releases always hit the mark for me—maybe it's just because people from San Diego are the best in the States, so I guess I'm biased toward you guys.😍

What are you guys even talking about when it comes to stolen songs? We didn't even get to sing Adele yesterday—I think the drinks did the explaining for you. As for "Only You," we've already had enough forum debates on that one; I don't think anyone has actually figured out who first ripped it off.

It’s a good thing you’re right about the B-52—it’s a real drag... people seem to think being a fan requires acting like a complete jerk, so they go out of their way to make sure they hit that mark perfectly.
Maybe they'll eventually grow out of it...

Maybe they'll eventually grow out of it...

I mean, if we're talking about originality and bringing up Chechen, we might as well mention how Chechnya/Russia attacks things too, right? 😁
