Here's a couple of gross football cheers:

Offense:
E-X (pause) L-A-X
Open up that hole!

Defense:
Kaopectate, kaopectate (sp?)
Stop that run!

O.K. Back at good old Rice U., we liked our cheers
a little different. I'll see what I can do.

E to the x, dy, dx!
e to the x, dx!
Secant, tangent, cosine, sine!
3.14159!
Cube root, square root, BTU!
Compass, slide rule, go Rice U!


We're from Rice, ain't that nice?
Who are you, do you know?


We also used to do a spelling cheer where we would spell
out the full old name of Rice:
T-h-e W-i-l-l-i-a-m M-a-r-s-h R-i-c-e I-n-s-t-i-t-u-t-e f-o-r t-h-e
a-d-v-a-n-c-e-m-e-n-t o-f L-e-t-t-e-r-s, S-c-i-e-n-c-e a-n-d A-r-t.


I also liked the cheer where we would spell Pterodactyl over and
over to a syncopated rythm (really confused the Aggies--"What are
they spelling over there, Bubba? Psychiatrist?")


Finally, whenever Rice would screw up, which was all the time (Rice
hasn't had a winning season since the early '60's) we would do:

Aaaaaww <-- winding up sound
S**t, G** D***, F**k!
Son of a B**ch!
Gee Wally! Hi mom!

There are a bunch of rugger cheers that i don't remember, most of them
are at least very obscene. Does anyone out there remember them?

In the mean time:

Listen, listen
Over here
While we do our silent cheer:
(Stand up waving arms and mouth agape, with no noise at all)

While at Grinnell (the Pioneers rarely won a game, and i was often the
other fan present):

(to the rythm of Nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah)
We've got higher board scores.

Here's another:
That's alright, that's ok
THEY're gonna work for US some day.

Rice University has some great cheers...have to to compensate for the football team...but at least we have the Mob.

Anyway:

C--H--E-A-T! Cheat, Rice, Cheat!

We Scored First! We Scored First!

We Won the Toss! We Won the Toss!

and on those rare occasions when we are ahead:

C--L--O-C-K! Go, Clock, Go!

Of course, when the ref makes a bad call, the band will
shout:

"Elevator Elevator!"
"We got the shaft"

Here's just one of the cheers I can remember from the University of
Waterloo (Ontario, Canada):

(verse 1: everyone yells it)
Waterloo once, Waterloo twice.
Holy jumping Jesus Christ.
Rip, ram, Goddamn,
Son of a bitch, shit!

(verse 2: just the guys)
Salivate, masturbate
Think of all the girls you ate.
How do you like your meat?
Raw! Raw! Raw!

(verse 3: just the girls)
Take a bite, take a chew
Think of all the guys you blew.
Munch, munch, bag lunch.
How do you like your meat?
Hard! Verrrrry harrrrrrd!

Up here in Buffalo it's:
"A rope. A tree."
"Hang the referee!"
or:
"The ref beats his wife!"
"She loves it!!"

At Oregon State, we (the band) used to sing:

Oh, I wish I were an Oscar Meyer Wiener,
That is what I'd truly like to be.
For if I were an Oscar Meyer Wiener,
I could be a PAC-10 referee.

(R) Oscar Meyer Wiener is probably a registered trademark of some huge

We go through a whole Ref Cycle:

First,"The ref beats his wife, the ref beats his wife!
"She likes it, she likes it!"

Then he beats his kids, his dog, himself, etc. for each subsequent
bad call. After himself, we break out the Ref Song (Sung to the Mickey Mouse
Club song):

M-I-C-K-E-Y, O-U-S-O-B!
Referee, SOB, how I wish I had a hanging treeeeeee!
M-I-C-K-E-Y, O-U-S-O-B!
