Most annoying college football cheer/ slogan

[Bossy Monkey]

Poll question: Most annoying college football cheer/ slogan

Well, as it turns out, the suggestions I got were mainly from people wanting to put down their rival schools. Sorry 'bout that. Only the first three came from me.

[MrCoffee]

1. you put Hook 'em up there? we're gonna have to step outside, friend.

[Bossy Monkey]

3. Funny how it's the only one with any votes... n/t

[MrCoffee]

4. they're on my list too...whoever they are.

[Shakespeare]

9. aw, man....don't tell me you're a teasip....

Gig 'em.

[Bossy Monkey]

10. Nobody can say I'm not even-handed; I'll put that on, too n/t

[ScreamingMeemie]

2. Go Blue!

I'm sorry U of M Fans but this girl will always be a Badger Backer.

[Bossy Monkey]

5. I don't see how that stands out from anybody else's cheer

but if nobody else suggests anything, I'll put it on.

[ScreamingMeemie]

16. Perhaps because it's a big 10 school?

Or don't they count anymore? I thought it was the dumbest thing. Bumper stickers all over town...

18. It's up; I was more thinking in terms of slogans that reflect a basic

hostility to any concept of meaning. Downtown U. here runs with the slogan "Go Cocks!" so my standards are correspondingly high (or low, if you prefer) for what constitutes annoying.:P

[MrCoffee]

20. If that's your standard, why "Geaux Tigers"?

I think that one has all kinds of meaning.

[Bossy Monkey]

21. It means they can't spell in French OR English

Reflects wonderfully on the school, its students, and fans.

[ScreamingMeemie]

27. Okay then...What the hell does go blue mean actually?

;) :rofl: I've never seen a blue... :rofl:

[1gobluedem]

6. Go Blue is the best cheer EVER

And don't you forget it, Mrs. G! :hi:

[ScreamingMeemie]

15. Already forgotten...

;) :P sorry.

[leftofthedial]

7. rah rah ree, hit 'em in the knee

rah rah rass, hit 'em in the other knee

[MrCoffee]

8. uppers downers quaaludes pot, we've got something you ain't got

speed speed speed!

my all time favorite swimming cheer

[merh]

23. my favorite cheer at the college games was

we ain't proud, we ain't cocky, we're gonna run over you like kiawsaki, zoom zoom, zooom zooom

we were drunk a lot!

[Ptah]

30. Retard Them, Retard Them, make them relinquish the ball.

or:


Advance, Advance, Ambulate Over The Turf!

[WritingIsMyReligion]

11. "Roll, Tide, roll!"

:grr:

[Bossy Monkey]

12. Don't really see how that stands out particularly either, but I put it on

(nothing to see here, but I didn't have room for "n/t":))

[unsavedtrash]

13. War Eagle!

:mad:

[Bossy Monkey]

19. Up n/t

[merh]

14. All of the above should have been an option

:hi:

[Bossy Monkey]

17. It will be; bear with me another 10 minutes or so n/t

[merh]

22. thanks

Since it wasn't an available option, I went with Roll Tide :hi:

[Oeditpus Rex]

24. All of 'em

College football is silly. :eyes:

Now, college journalism — that's something to cheer about. :woohoo:




:hide:

[Shakespeare]

25. But some of the best college journalism out there is sports writing...

...and, more specifically, about college football. ;-)

Couldn't resist. :pals: I was a writer and editor for A&M's daily, and one of my dear friends from those days--one of the best writers I've EVER known--is now a columnist and sports editor at the Houston Chronicle (shout out to John Lopez). Some of the best journalistic writing you'll find comes out of the sports desk.

[Oeditpus Rex]

28. I'm not about to argue that

Especially since I was a sportswriter for eight years before they moved me to news.

But my point was, if we're gonna get all rootie-tootie over college football — which is, at base, a P.E. course — shouldn't we also get just a little excited over the other things colleges have to offer?

Y'know, like... knowledge.

[JVS]

31. College journalism is every bit as silly as college football

In fact, come to think of it most post-college journalism is also silly

[Oeditpus Rex]

32. So's post-college football

And journalism has a lot fewer drugs.

:hi:

[JVS]

33. Journalism has fewer drugs! Football 1 Journalism 0

[Oeditpus Rex]

34. If it wasn't for journalism

you wouldn't know what football is.

:P

[JVS]

38. That's the dumbest statement ever. Without journalism there would...

still be high school

[ccjlld]

26. Rock Chalk Jayhawk

What the heck is that supposed to mean? Just about as dumb as "Waving Wheat"

On the other hand, the east side of a stadium shouting M-I-Z and the west side answering Z-O-U is pretty cool!

[Tyrone Slothrop]

51. Wow. How'd I forget about that one?

I block out my irrational hatred of Kansas and Bill Self until NCAA hoops start up again.


(Also, we used to do the I-L-L......I-N-I at Illinois too!)

[JVS]

29. anything with faux french spelling is automatically the worst

[jus_the_facts]

42. Your team...and another Red one can't seem to spell SOCKS....

:wtf: :eyes:

:P

[JVS]

44. The mis-spelling of Socks is a abbreviation, geaux has no such..

function

[jus_the_facts]

45. Whatever...

[trof]

35. I always liiked "BULLDOG! BULLDOG! BOW-WOW-WOW!"

EEE-LIII YALE!

[Broken_Hero]

36. Boomer Sooners! God, OU

is so irritating...I hope the Ducks destroy this team today.

[KamaAina]

50. Second that 'cause they stole the tune from Yale

"Bommer Sooner" = "Boola Boola"

K-A
Y'85 cum laude
(as if Gee Dubya Bush** '68 could even spell cum laude!)

[tinfoil tiaras]

37. Hotty Toddy

Gosh Almighty, who the hell are we!?
Bim Bam Flim Flam, Ole Miss, by damn!

Most. Annoying. Thing. Ever.

Because I fucking hate Ole Miss. :puke:

And that "O the Coach" bullshit just HAS to go...

Georgia is my fave though. Go Dawgs! :D

[mitchum]

39. ! don't know, but "Go Cocks!" is the coolest

I never went to a game (why would I?), but I always loveed hearing 50,000 people scream that

[Radical Activist]

47. I loved it when the fighting game cocks came to Tennessee

There was always a poster or graffiti somewhere about how the Vols were going to spank the cocks.

[Writer]

40. I am right now wearing my 2005 National Championship Longhorn T-shirt.

HOOK 'EM, YOU DOLT!

[Bossy Monkey]

43. I just wrote the poll; I didn't cast the votes

If this is the level of rhetoric inculcated by UT, I'm glad to count myself with the stinking losers. :hi:

[Ilsa]

41. Other: The tomahawk chop and chant always wear me out. Is it FSU? nt

[huskerlaw]

46. I am required by law

to say "hook 'em horns". But Roll Tide and the Florida State tomahawk chop are right up there.

[Radical Activist]

48. hook em horns

At first I usually think they're doing some kind of 80's hair metal thing. Nothing makes me think "drunken white trash conservative" like someone doing the hook em horns thing.

[ThoughtCriminal]

49. Cosine, secant, tangent, sine,...

E to the u du dx,
E to the x, dx.
Cosine, secant, tangent, sine,

53. The peculiar origin of "War Eagle"

Pronounced "Wah Egul!!!"

I'm 3rd generation Auburn, so I've heard a few stories that don't get as much publicity as the "Official" version. Auburn University prefers the Civil War story because it appeals to "Southern Heritage", but I managed to find other explanations here:

http://www.auburn.edu/tigercub/auburn_life/a_battle_cry.html

If think that the 1914 Carlisle Indians game may be the most likely origin because 1) It's silly enough to be true, 2) I remember reading an eyewitness account back in the early 1970's.

Edit:
While searching I found this charming pic:
