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.

PiEp, were you a Teke at Arkansas? So was my cheerleading partner there!

His favorite cheer--which the girls on the squad refused to do:

We eat sawdust, we sh** logs!
We ain't nothin' but mean-a** Hogs!

Roll along BG warriors
Roll along and fight for
B-G-S-U

I love my alma mater, but it's the dumbest fight song ever.

A great tradition now gone in the Mid American Conference was called "Migration." On a given football weekend, everyone from Ohio U. would go to Miami of Ohio and on another weekend, Kent State would come to Athens. There would be one home and one away migration for each of four schools each year.

(To the best of my knowledge, migration didn't go away simply because every time someone else came to O.U., there was a riot...literally)

One year, we were at Bowling Green and we decided to "amend" one of their cheers:

They would scream B-G-S-U...

and we would amend, C-K-S.

A couple of friends from Ohio State and I were doing that in a bar in BG the night before a game. We did make it out alive. Barely.

Another one that popped up when arch rival Miami came to town was "Muck Fiami." Don't know who was first, but at about the same time Ohio State was saying "Muck Fichigan."

Clarion doesn't have any interesting fight songs or chants due to the fact that our team never wins. As someone who often sat with the band I can can however share some memorable band songs or cheers.

First and Ten: perhaps a personal favorite until it was banned by the administration . . . Doc thought it was funny: FIRST AND TEN, LOSIN AGAIN, LET'S DRINK BEER!

The Dirty Christmas Songs: brought to us by the percussion and brass sections. The words in lowercase are not sung but hummed and the words in uppercase are shouted as loudly as possible.

O COME all ye faithful, joyful and triumpant, O COME ye, O COME ye to bethlehem; COME and beHOLD HIM, born the king of angels; O COME let us adore him, O COME let us adore him, O COME let us adore him, christ, the lord.

the first nowell the angel did say was to certain poor shepherds in fields as THEY LAY; in fields as THEY LAY, keeping THEIR SHEEP, on a cold winter's night that was SO DEEP

The Bricklayer Song : also brought to us by percussion and brass
Oh, My father is a bricklayer, he lays bricks
Oh, My brother is a bricklayer, he lays bricks
Oh, my sister is a bricklayer, she lays (insert name of person screamed loudly).

There is the always classic Beer Polka as well as the most often repeated chant:

GO THAT WAY! (screamed while standing up and pointing to the correct end zone)

If I missed any Ali let me know!

nah, I was a Teke at CBU in Memphis but I was born and raised and now living back in Arkansas. And that is an awesome cheer.

I forgot one chant we used for IUP:

One little two little three little indians, four little five little six little indians, seven little eight little nine little indians, THEY ALL DIED! (this was before the mascott change)

Marquette
"Ring Out Ahoya!"

Ring out Ahoya with an M.U.Rah Rah,
M.U.Rah Rah, M.U.Rah Rah Rah Rah Rah
Ring out Ahoya with an M.U. Rah, Rah,
M.U. Rah Rah for Old Marquette. Rah! Rah! Rah!

For all the money we're paying, you'd think we'd learn more words than RAH RAH. I'm know Platteville has a fight song, but nobody knows the words.

How about Oklahoma's fight song:

You sing "Boomer Sooner" 7 times, and then OKU.

Then you sing, "Oklahoma" 7 times, and then OKU.

There there's a chant that actually has words --- so I'll skip it.

(Yes, my son goes to Oklahoma)

Glorious reflections of a misspent pledgeship:

Boomer Sooner, Boomer Sooner,
Boomer Sooner, Boomer Sooner,
Boomer Sooner, Boomer Sooner,
Boomer Sooner, OK-U!
Oklahoma, Oklahoma,
Oklahoma, Oklahoma,
Oklahoma, Oklahoma,
Oklahoma, OK-U!
I'm Sooner born and Sooner bred,
and when I die I'll be Sooner dead!
Rah! Oklahoma! Rah! Oklahoma! Rah! Oklahoma...OK-U!

And the alma mater (called the OU chant), sung at the end of all football games:

O-K-L-A-H-O-M-A!
Our chant rolls on and on...
Thousands strong sing heart and soul
in Alma Mater's praise!
Oh campus beautiful by day and night,
of colors proudly gleaming red and white!
'Neath a western sky, OU's chant will never die...
Live on, University!

* P.S. The official colors are crimson and cream, but red and white rhyned better with the chant.

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.

Ahh good times...

My school does that too. We have a student section called The Tigers Lair and they do all that fun stuff, it does look pretty cool.

We don't really have any funny cheers here, and the only cheer I can even really think of is this one:

Hit it! Hurray, hurrah! Mizzou! Mizzou!
Hurray, hurrah! Mizzou! Mizzou!
Hurray, Hurrah! And a bully for old Mizzou! Rah! Rah! Rah! Rah!
Mizzou-Rah! Mizzou-Rah! Mizzou-Rah! Tigers!

Pretty boring. Of course we do the thing where the student side of the stadium screams out M-I-Z and the other side yells back Z-O-U. Sounds really cool

My friend and former director of the Ohio University Band, Gene Thrailkill, just retired a couple of years ago as director of the Pride of Oklahoma (So, he directed two great O.U. bands). I wonder how many times he heard that song over his thirty years in Norman.

It was fun watching the Pride marching and playing thru College Corner last year prior to the Colorado game on parents weekend.

The Gators have a lot of cheers - we definitely deserve our reputation as being psychotically enthusiastic fans.

the student 1/2 of the stadium will scream "Orange" and the alumni 1/2 will scream "Blue" - except for some reason "orange" always ends up having two syllables - "Oar-Ange!" Everyone knows that orange is a one-syllable word, but for some reason, when 40,000 of us say it together, we need another syllable.

the cheer that always puzzled me is this one:

the band plays, Da-da-dadada
we scream "Go Gators"
the band plays, Da-da-dadada
we scream "Go Gators"
the band plays, Da-da-dadada
we scream "Come on Gators, get up and go!"

Get up and go? Did our team just fall down and die? (oh wait, no that was just our defense against Miami in the last half. Ah, crap.) Seriously though, it sounds like a sad pathetic cry to please accomplish something!

We sing a song called "We are the Boys" in between the 3rd and 4th quarters that has some cheeeeeesy lyrics, but everyone loves it (ignoring the fact that we're not really the "boys" of Florida since the school has had women since the late 1940s):

We are the Boys of Old Florida, F-L-O-R-I-D-A
Where the girls are the fairest,
The boys are the squarest,
Of any old state down our way (Hey!)
We are all strong for old Florida,
Down where the old gators play (GO GATORS!)
In all kinds of weather
We'll all stick togetheeeeeerrrrrrr [note held out]
For F-L-O-R-I-D-A!

the really fun part is that everyone puts their arms around the shoulders of the person next to them and sways back and forth while singing. When you're a little, ahem, less than sober, and you see the other side of the stadium swaying all over the place, it's a little disorienting, to say the least.

How do you pronounce Orange as one syllable??? It's o-range or or-ange not ornge. Isn't it ?? I'm seriously confused now.

Sorry, I misspoke. It's more like everyone says it like it's two words.

Might also be a problem of Southern pronounciation where it gets a little slurred together - I don't think most people here really articulate the or-ange. It's just Ornge. But when we do the cheer, it's two sharp words "OAR! ANGE!" Sounds weird.

OK, Webster's says "or-ange." But still, the two syllables are said pretty closely together - in normal speech you don't really articulate or------ange.

At LSU we are just random...

there's just a bunch of ones to songs the band plays...

(the stuff in quotes is the band playing)
"dun dun dun nuh"
GO TIGERS!
"dun dun dun nuh"
GO TIGERS!
KICK THEIR ASS!

or to the tune of "Hey Baby"

Heeeeeeeey, HEY BABY, I wanna (Oooo Ooo) If you'll be my bitch...

Sometimes they'll substitue baby for a school name like Bama works well...

or the asshole cheer...

pointing at the visitors sections... to Tiger Rage (Clemson plays this song too...)

AHAHAHA, their ASSHOLES!ASSHOLES!

ETC...

Then on first downs everyone "bows down" It actually looks really cool... There's other ones that are just like hand movements, and stuff i can't think of right now...

Something that really bothers me is booing the other team, there's a difference between disrespect and trash talking...

This question is for the jayhawks on the board.

what's up with the waving of y'all's arms when y'all score a touchdown? That to represent the wind blowing through the wheat fields in Kansas?

Kitso
KS 361 seconds until my Ags play AND BEAT Pitt
