Your School's Goofy Cheer

[sugar and spice]

We ARE naughty.

MiAngel, did you hear they're not going to play "Jump Around" anymore because some of the alumni and press complained?

Ummm... Michigan doesn't really have anything funny. We do the wave. We do it slow, fast, split down the middle. 100,000 + people doin this and it looks awesome.

half of the student section yells Go... the other half Blue. It's cool when most of the stadium catches on and you get that delayed reaction echo.

To the tomahawk music thing, some people say yoooooooo suuuuuuuckkkkkk yooooooooo suckkkkk YOU SUCK! Haven't caught on to that tho.

Key plays, everyone busts out their keys. That could be a sports thing tho.

Leslie anymore you can think of?

Just want to say-- the RockChalk chant is not goofy at all--- it is actually incredible to hear.

Georgia Tech's Geek Cheer is my favorite goofy cheer of all time. It goes something like this (any GA Tech GCers please correct me if I screw part of it up...)

Secant, tangent, cosine, sine
3 Point 1-4-1-5-9
Square roots, cube roots
Placants, brackets
Dis-integrate them , Yellow Jackets!

I love it! Silly me for not going there when they recruited me - if that cheer had been in the book, I would have been there.

And ya'll really haven't seen anything until you see a Wisconsin game - my high school has a section for seniors called Gators (after UF) that is basically practice for Badger games. In band (not marching band, concert band) we had to learn our high school fight song and "On Wisconsin," both music and vocals.

Oops. I think we thought it was FSU because we have a cheer that goes "A-H-S! F-S-U! We are going to stomp on you!"

-471 times more fun I had being a Gator than being a cheerleader

[Rio_Kohitsuji]

Arg. I hate Rio.

This is how one of them goes:

Band plays the "chop song" you all know what that is, think Cleveland Indians.
*do chop motion* Riooooooooooooo Rioooooooooooo

Yeah. That sucks.

However..back in high school I would lead the band in this cheer:

Strawberry shortcake,
banana split,
we make the other team/band/whatever look like sh...
SHIFT to the left, shift to the right,
Stand up, sit down,
Fight fight fight!

MIT has a cheer like that, too:

E to the U du dx,
E to the X dx!
Cosine, secant, tangent, sine, 3.14159!
Integral radical mu dv
Slipstick, sliderule, MIT!

That cheer made me wish I was smart enough to go to MIT.

The Hog Call for the University of Arkansas
is very recognizable in these parts. The stadium gets deafeningly loud, enough that parents make their kids wear ear plugs.

Woooooooooo, Pig ! Sooie!
Woooooooooo, Pig ! Sooie!
Woooooooooo, Pig ! Sooie!
Razorbacks!!

Also during the game one side of the stadium chants Arkansas! and the other side responds with Razorbacks! which sounds awesome as it echoes across the place.

MiAngel711, I think I went to the wrong college...your football games sound like so much fun.

At UCLA, we don't have anything that fun but we do have cardshows, you know when the entire student sections holds up different color cards to spell out words and create pictures. Supposedly, we are on of the only schools that still does this or the oldest...I don't really remember but UCLA really prides itself on its cardshows and I must admit, it does look pretty cool.

The only chant I could think of that UCLA does is the Eight Clap:

Its pretty simple:

Clap 8 times fast
U (clap three more times)
C (clap three more times)
L (long L, and clap three more times)
A (clap three more times)
U-C-L-A, fight, fight, fight

During the weeks near the SC game, fight, fight, fight becomes f@#k SC.

Ahh good times...

When I was the announcer for the Ohio University Marching Band, it had a cheer that I certainly can't explain -- and probably can't spell. I don't think they do it anymore.

I'll give it a shot phonetically, but I can't duplicate the rythm...

It went:

Frey Magonda...(whole band says this)
Magonda Frey...(band)
Ah Bo Day...(one member says this)
Hey...(band)
Ah Bo Day...(one member)
Hey...(band)
AhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhBo Day...(one member)
Hey, Hey, Hey! (band)

(Don't ask me)

In the olden days when dinosaurs roamed the earth, Oklahoma used to have this cheer:

"Hi-rickety-whoop-de-do...
Boomer Sooner, Okla-U!"

All we do nowadays is play 'Boomer Sooner' or 'Go Big Red'. On every kickoff, everyone watches the kicker as he meakes his run to the ball as everyone says: "OOOOOOOOOOOO...." Once he makes contact with the ball and kicks it , "U!" is said. We leave the rowdy cheering for the 'Ruf/Neks', the male cheer squad that maintains the Sooner Schooner.

here's another fight song I know of. It's for the University of Idaho:

Vandal Fight Song

Came a tribe from the North brave and bold,
Bearing banners of Silver and Gold,
Tried and true to subdue all their foes,
Go Vandals! Go mighty Vandals!
Go, Vandals go,
Fight on with hearts brave and bold,
Foes will fall before your Silver and your Gold,
The victory cannot be withheld from thee,
So all bear down for Idaho,
Come on old Vandals go!
I-D-A-H-O
IDAHO, IDAHO GO, GO, GO!

Also thought of another one for the real U of A (Arkansas) It's sung by the players to the fans in the stadium after every home win:

Hit that line! Hit that line! Keep on going,
Move that ball right down the field!
Give a cheer. Rah! Rah! Never fear. Rah! Rah!
Arkansas will never yield!
On your toes, Razorbacks, to the finish,
Carry on with all your might!
For it's A-R-K-A-N-S-A-S for Arkansas!
Fight! Fight! Fi-i-i-ght
