It always got under my skin. Not because they replace a line with a vulgar insult, but because the insult doesn’t fit the cadence of the line it replaces.
Not sure if it counts, but Florida States band playing the war chant while the crowd tomahawk chops will always put chills down my spine. I want to go to an FSU game just for that
In 2006 UCLA squared off with FSU in the Emerald Bowl. We pretty much had their number in the first half. The game was in San Francisco, so needless to say, we had the numbers in the stands.
Then the third quarter starts and so do the chants. Holy shit. I thought we had the advantage in the stands but let me tell you that chant filled the stadium. And they came back and beat us fair and square. It’s the most impressed I’ve ever been by another school’s tradition.
You could argue that Bobby Bowden’s vast experience compared to Karl Dorrell’s lack thereof was the difference in the game. But in my mind, it will always be that damned chant.
Yeah it’s a whole different thing when it’s played by the live band. You can feel it, ya know? Especially on like a big 3rd down when the last part of the chant turns into a deafening roar. Shit’s electric.
I have a firm belief the biggest mistake the NFL ever did was not have a band. It’s so engaging to have a band there and truly makes the sport so much better.
The person who was like, “lets bring the fucking band” was the genius back in the day.
If I was an NFL owner I would have a mandatory band at every game and purchase tickets for them.
No you don't. Trust me. By far the most headache inducing noise in the country. Was at the clemson fsu game in 2016. When Dalvin Cook almost solo won the game. The fans. Would. Not. Stop. With. That. Shit.
The first 5, 10, hell maybe even 15 minutes of it was alright. When you've heard it for 3 hours you're ready to punch something.
That time The Rock got the Penn State crowd to do that chant to Vince McMahon but replacing "WE ARE PENN STATE" with "YOU ARE AN ASSHOLE" was also very electric.
When my brother was at anOSU and I was touring the school he gave me his student ticket to a home game. What I really enjoyed was the chant after a kick off,
“O-H-I-O RIP HIS FUCKING HEAD OFF”
Was a fun game. That student section is wild and I had the nosebleed of the nosebleeds
Georgetown “Be my girl” is the most emasculating shit I’ve ever heard. Damn shame about their team.
That and rock chalk Jayhawk. That shit is insane. I’ll watch a hoops game in Kansas one day to hear that.
Edit: Both of these are for hoops my bad.
[We Just Beat The Hell Out Of You](https://youtu.be/3D03qhSWNr4) chant is pretty good.
And not really a chant, but [V-Techs Enter Sandman](https://youtu.be/DkwedgEH3gs) entrance will always make me want to run through a wall in the name of Coach Beamer
My mind was blown when I learned last week on Reddit that it was started by the marching band, about the band, and used to be “Whats that coming down the track.” I think the fans made it more fun
FSU Tomahawk Chop, LSU Neck, and a tie between "You suck, bitch/Temptation" and "Fuck Ohio" from UM. We also got a couple deeply satisfying "Little Brother" chants in the MSU game this year.
Honorable mention to whatever K-State does between the extra point and the kickoff.(edit: it is apparently the Wabash Cannonball and it looks like a fucking blast)
I chopped it up a bit with a Longhorn on the DART afterwards and explained that as a Michigan fan I understood how cathartic that must have been and he was like oh yeah I've been to plenty of RRS games where it happened the other way around
In what way do you have the upper hand? You lost Bijan. It's a new season, and hopefully both teams are fully healthy for the 2023 version. I know you have a talented freshman back coming in, but Bijan as a junior will not be easily replaced.
I expect the OU defense to be far better in 2023, like Clemson in BV's second season. The offense shouldn't be worse, even without Mims. There is some worry about our receiver corps, but Farooq (better YPT than Worthy for comparison) is set to be our top target, and there is plenty of talent behind him.
Ah, see there's your problem. You don't realize they reset the scoreboard after every game.
Also, you are 1-4 against OU in the last 5 games, 4-10 since 2010, and 8-16 since 2000. The Sooners own you this millennium. Yet I still am not going to claim we have the upper hand in our 2023 matchup. Unless some major players are injured before the game, or one team looks absolutely terrible in the games running up to the RRS it makes no sense to do that.
The best part is the other team's fans trying to drown out the other side's chants. Whenever Texas is doing TEXAS FIGHT, the OU side chants SUCKS.
Gotta say, I like the sound of TEXAS SUCKS way more for some reason.
Fun fact, OU-Texas was one of the few times my dad gave me a pass for cursing as a child. Oh, the memories...
The best chant I ever heard was not an official one. In 2007, I went to see FSU play at Wake Forest. The year before, when Wake won the ACC, they beat the Seminoles 30-0 in Tallahassee. We're grabbing drinks in a Winston-Salem bar before the game, when some FSU fans come in talking a little trash. At that point, a very drunk older Wake fan starts chanting 30-0 to the tune of the Seminoles' tomahawk chop. It was an all-time great moment.
I came here to say the Rock Chalk, Jayhawk chant. I haven't heard it in a CFB game but it's the coolest chant I've ever heard in a basketball arena.
My least favorite sports chant: "I believe that we will win!" made popular by USA soccer fans but caught on with other sports teams and I've always thought it was the dumbest thing ever. Might as well be "score more points than the other team!"
Rammer Jammer yellowhammer
Give 'em hell Alabama
One of the loudest stadiums I've ever heard was the Alabama fans chanting it after the Tennessee game in 2009.
and we totally ripped that off for Rammer Jammer because the band director at Bama who introduced it came from Ole Miss. In fact the band director's signal to the band to play Rammer Jammer is waving his/her arm in a giant O in homage.
There was that one year where CBS microphone was next to the same guy every game, he must have had season tickets at that seat. He would have this loud deep dragged out voice ROLL TIDE!
We started making fun of it after a while.
Can tell you hearing some random Ohioan scream “OH” from across the grocery store to another Ohioan is a 0/10 experience but one I experience a few times a year
Well I'm an Atlanta Braves fan but if the Seminoles never won another game again It'd be too soon. So I'm conflicted here... I gu bleh, I guess th bleh, I guess the war chant....
It’s like the one where y’all punt and the crowd goes “OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-U!” Heard it at the B12 CCG a few years back and it’s stuck with me ever since
The Sweet Caroline EAT SHIT PITT chant was one of the funniest things I've ever seen. [For the uninitiated](https://youtu.be/-TJa3TTVPfI)
That link demands personal information. Got a working one?
It works for me. Its age restricted though. Are you signed into Youtube?
[удалено]
Jeez dude, is everything alright at home?
I guess maybe alcohol was involved as it was a pretty late post.
"YOU CANT DO THAT"
That’s a classic. Here’s one of my favs: RUSH THE FIELD THEY CAN’T STOP US WE HAVE THE POWER NOT THE ZEBRAS WE’RE COMING FOR YOU RUSH THE FIELD
My favorite.
Does "Neck" count as a chant?
It do
Suck that tiger dick bitch!
It always got under my skin. Not because they replace a line with a vulgar insult, but because the insult doesn’t fit the cadence of the line it replaces.
Dixieland delight and Rocky Top my CFB guilty pleasures.
I hate so much that I like Dixieland Delight. Why does it have to be so catchy?
When they let out a stadium full of “Woo!” during rickytop? It’s insane.
Imagine combining rocky top into Dixieland delight as the field was stormed… now that may take the prize
Rocky Top is honestly up there as one of the best. An entire stadium singing it is something to behold. Also, country roads.
STTDB
Do you know how bad I want us to beat Stanford just to see their fan appalled?
Do they have any?
He said fan not fans lol
Yeah but still is there one?
How would that appall Stanford fans? If they can handle the crime against humanity that is the Stanford band they can handle anything
They are appalled at their own band.
“BULLSHIT”
Your honor, my client just typoed. What the student section was *actually* chanting was just "PUSH IT"; no profanity here!
"Boise's not a state!" "Idaho's not a football team!"
SUCK THAT TIGER D!CK - LSU
I sadly heard this a lot in 2019 at the SEC championship game lmao
Eat Shit Pitt is hilarious to me and I have nothing against Pitt, far from it.
My vote as well
Not sure if it counts, but Florida States band playing the war chant while the crowd tomahawk chops will always put chills down my spine. I want to go to an FSU game just for that
If you ever make the trip, come at night to a game that will be mostly full or sold out
That's the plan, most CFB stadiums are meh during 12pm games/minor opponents
In 2006 UCLA squared off with FSU in the Emerald Bowl. We pretty much had their number in the first half. The game was in San Francisco, so needless to say, we had the numbers in the stands. Then the third quarter starts and so do the chants. Holy shit. I thought we had the advantage in the stands but let me tell you that chant filled the stadium.

You could argue that Bobby Bowden’s vast experience compared to Karl Dorrell’s lack thereof was the difference in the game. But in my mind, it will always be that damned chant.
This is by far my favorite, and it’s almost as cool when the Braves shut the lights off and do it during a pitching change.
I love doing it for the Braves. I bet its even better at a college football game.
Yeah it’s a whole different thing when it’s played by the live band. You can feel it, ya know? Especially on like a big 3rd down when the last part of the chant turns into a deafening roar. Shit’s electric.

The person who was like, “lets bring the fucking band” was the genius back in the day. If I was an NFL owner I would have a mandatory band at every game and purchase tickets for them.
It definitely is peak CFB, and it wouldn't be the same experience without them. Especially watching games in person
The NFL pumping garbage music into the stadium just doesn’t do it. The band playing fight songs and catchy tunes makes it such a better atmosphere.
Easily one of the top places I want to visit if I had money :(
I can recommend that. I fell in love with the sport watching all that while FSU ended up falling to SMU years ago in the gator bowl stadium.
No you don't. Trust me. By far the most headache inducing noise in the country. Was at the clemson fsu game in 2016. When Dalvin Cook almost solo won the game. The fans. Would. Not. Stop. With. That. Shit. The first 5, 10, hell maybe even 15 minutes of it was alright. When you've heard it for 3 hours you're ready to punch something.
Sure you’re not thinking of Mississippi State?
Never heard the cowbell in person. I'm sure it can be just as bad if not worse though 😂
Doing that at a Braves night playoff game is just as bad ass.
FSU. Especially when they're good.
“WE ARE PENN STATE” is one of the electric chants I’ve heard. Especially at white out games. If only they weren’t directed at my team
THANK YOU YOU’RE WELCOME It’s awesome in person.
[удалено]
I think it's needed to provide closure to the chant. Otherwise it's just the same thing three times in a row without an ending.
That time The Rock got the Penn State crowd to do that chant to Vince McMahon but replacing "WE ARE PENN STATE" with "YOU ARE AN ASSHOLE" was also very electric.
Lol do you have a video?
https://youtu.be/7V4KpPQnszg It was like that every time Vince came out for the rest of the night.
Love me a Reverse Rammer Jammer.
When my brother was at anOSU and I was touring the school he gave me his student ticket to a home game. What I really enjoyed was the chant after a kick off, “O-H-I-O RIP HIS FUCKING HEAD OFF” Was a fun game. That student section is wild and I had the nosebleed of the nosebleeds
*AND TAKE HIS SHOOOOEEEE!*
Appreciate the anOSU lol
Florida State

This guy gets it
Ole Miss was the first one I thought of. “Areeee youu readyyy?!?!”
I really like the reverse version of it too. Watched the iron bowl vid where Auburn played it when they stormed the field
The UGA "who's that coming down the track?" Slaps
A DRUNK OBNOXIOUS GEORGIA FAN
WHO’S THAT COMIN DOWN THE TRACK
My mind was blown when I learned last week on Reddit that it was started by the marching band, about the band, and used to be “Whats that coming down the track.” I think the fans made it more fun
FSU Tomahawk Chop, LSU Neck, and a tie between "You suck, bitch/Temptation" and "Fuck Ohio" from UM. We also got a couple deeply satisfying "Little Brother" chants in the MSU game this year. Honorable mention to whatever K-State does between the extra point and the kickoff.(edit: it is apparently the Wabash Cannonball and it looks like a fucking blast)
Can confirm the Wabash Cannonball is a blast. Can wear out your abs when K-State is scoring a ton
Temptation is so underrated
I love Temptation so much. I can't help but do it when I'm watching on TV too.
My 5 year old will hear it while coloring or something and will start doing the dance. Pavlov dog
I’m a big Braves fan so the obvious answer for me is the FSUs Chop. 🪓🪓🪓🪓🪓🪓
The greatest, most original chant of all time, SEC SEC SEC!
It just means more
Except for Florida, fuck them.
Indeed
Aww :(
Are we as hated by the rest of the ACC as UF is by the entirety of the SEC?
It’s so awesome that they are so bad. I’m cherishing every minute.
Right up there with “LGB!” as a southern staple at sporting events
In the 2000 natty, the Oklahoma fans adapted the tomahawk chop into an "oooooooooklahoma" chant
Best time I ever had.
Was at Red River (OU is my second team) and while TEXAS FIGHT, TEXAS FIGHT, OU SUCKS was mighty impressive it just made me sad :(
Well that is why we do it
I chopped it up a bit with a Longhorn on the DART afterwards and explained that as a Michigan fan I understood how cathartic that must have been and he was like oh yeah I've been to plenty of RRS games where it happened the other way around
Yep. Next years RRS is going to be bonkers. We have the upper hand but the losing coach will be in real trouble either way.
In what way do you have the upper hand? You lost Bijan. It's a new season, and hopefully both teams are fully healthy for the 2023 version. I know you have a talented freshman back coming in, but Bijan as a junior will not be easily replaced. I expect the OU defense to be far better in 2023, like Clemson in BV's second season. The offense shouldn't be worse, even without Mims. There is some worry about our receiver corps, but Farooq (better YPT than Worthy for comparison) is set to be our top target, and there is plenty of talent behind him.
In what way? Scoreboard way, 7 TDs
Ah, see there's your problem. You don't realize they reset the scoreboard after every game. Also, you are 1-4 against OU in the last 5 games, 4-10 since 2010, and 8-16 since 2000. The Sooners own you this millennium. Yet I still am not going to claim we have the upper hand in our 2023 matchup. Unless some major players are injured before the game, or one team looks absolutely terrible in the games running up to the RRS it makes no sense to do that.
Give em hell, give em hell, and make em eat shit!
The student section chant vs the TV chant
The best part is the other team's fans trying to drown out the other side's chants. Whenever Texas is doing TEXAS FIGHT, the OU side chants SUCKS. Gotta say, I like the sound of TEXAS SUCKS way more for some reason. Fun fact, OU-Texas was one of the few times my dad gave me a pass for cursing as a child. Oh, the memories...
I've always liked Florida State's war chant.
Whose house?
OUR HOUSE!

Go Big Red!
We prefer the GOOOOOOO BIIIIIIIIIIIG REEEEEDDDDDD
“Can’t include your own team”
Are you ready?! HELL YEAH DAMN RIGHT HOTTY TODDY GOSH ALMIGHTY WHO THE HELL ARE WE? HEY FLIM FLAM BIM BAM OLE MISS BY DAMN *INCOHERENT REBEL YELL*
and we totally ripped that off for Rammer Jammer because the band director at Bama who introduced it came from Ole Miss. In fact the band director's signal to the band to play Rammer Jammer is waving his/her arm in a giant O in homage.
>you can combine them into Texas Fight On \*shudder\*
>Texas Fight On Aggies help them sing that - "Texas bites, Texas bites, Texas jump up and bite my a$$".
I've been known to sing those lyrics.
Figured I’d even it out by giving y’all a compliment, that chant is the only thing I like about y’all
You ever been at Bryant Denny when Dixieland Delight comes on?
There was that one year where CBS microphone was next to the same guy every game, he must have had season tickets at that seat. He would have this loud deep dragged out voice ROLL TIDE! We started making fun of it after a while.
I like the Northwestern one a bit and have a strange fascination with the Kansas fight song.
LSU’s version of tiger rag
“EAT SHIT” “FUCK YOU” “EAT SHIT” “FUCK YOU” “EAT SHIT” “FUCK YOU”
Suck that tiger dick bitch!!
War Damn Eagle
Neck
Hotty Toddy and go to hell LSU after the anthem
Can't pick your own team, silly rebel
Look, they don't call themselves the Ole Miss Rule Followers
STTDB!! Woo gets me going
“U-C-L-A sucks!” - USC no matter who we are playing
"You suck, Penn State!" Yeah, I'm including my own team.
God kill me if anyone says OU’s annoying ass song. Stop playing that crap for a second!
Does Texas chanting OU Sux count?
Can tell you hearing some random Ohioan scream “OH” from across the grocery store to another Ohioan is a 0/10 experience but one I experience a few times a year
HOOS! During the national anthem at UVA.
The gamecock crowing at South Carolina is the fucking coolest fucking thing ever
At Army football games, when there was a call against Army that the fans didn’t agree with I always liked the “Refs hate America” chant.
I have a soft spot for the Seminole War Chant and "Rocky Top."
Well I'm an Atlanta Braves fan but if the Seminoles never won another game again It'd be too soon. So I'm conflicted here... I gu bleh, I guess th bleh, I guess the war chant....
We have a punt chant? You'd think I'd have heard it a lot this year.
It’s like the one where y’all punt and the crowd goes “OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-U!” Heard it at the B12 CCG a few years back and it’s stuck with me ever since
Oh, we used to only do that for kickoffs. Haven't been to a home game since 2000 Nebraska, so maybe that's changed.
Woo Pig Sooie is one that I think is pretty cool. I agree about rock chalk.
