    The Chest Bump - Thumbs UP? Thumbs DOWN?

    Every since players started doing this, I've hated it. I'm not sure why. I just don't "get into" the chest bump. And unlike other "get fired up" actions such as the arse slap, the forearm mash, the punch to the shoulder, and even timeless (if hokey) classics such as the high and low fives, the chest bump just comes across to me as being a bit "wimpish."

    It's not a homosexual thing. Like I said, I'm totally down with the arse-slap and am not homophobic at all. The chest bump just seems, weak to me.

    Please vote and share your thoughts - as recent Duke players have adopted this move (also, Chris Collins would have been all over this if it had been popular in his day. He often opted for the "jump on back/neck strangulation" celebration).

    The thought off chest bumping actually pains me.

    Funny how I voted for "apathetic about the chest bump," but I wasn't quite apathetic enough to forego voting.
    Not sure I'm apathetic enough about anything at all to resist voting in an online poll. Favorite Backstreet Boy? Hmmm...

    I don't like it. Looks ridiculous. It really looks ridiculous in the women's game.

    I like it when performed ironically.

    thumbs down

    It's stupid. There must be something better to rile up your team and fans. Let's think about some alternative ---- and pass it along to Dukies.

    That made me laugh. There is no doubt that a "five" performed improperly can make both parties look ridiculous.

    Thumbs down Chest Bump

    I don't like the chest bump. I worry about one of the players hurting himself, or the other player, possibly by bumping heads or pulling a muscle. And they could come down awkwardly and sprain, break or otherwise hurt a knee or ankle. Far more downside than upside from my point of view.
    Ozzie, your paradigm of optimism!
