I’m bored. Depressed. Whatever.
One of my favorite things to do is start a “DEFENSE! (clap! clap!)” chant while the cheerleaders attempt a “D-D-D-Defense” one.
No one does that “D-D-D-Defense!” chant, ever.
stupid D D D Defence chant. I freakin hate when the cheerleaders take the air out of our chants.
Like when we start a Lets go Charlotte chant and they start chanting Go niners Go. its confusing to the people who arent usually in 104.
But that can be forgiven. What cannot be forgiven is when they get out of synch. Especially with the Lets Go Charlotte or DEFENSE chanrts.
Maybe it’s the liquor talking, but I’ve wanted to kill the cheerleaders everytime they do the ddd defense cheer since I came to this school in 2000. I’m sure lots of you have wanted to kill them before that for doing this cheer. It’s horrible. Cheers are supposed to pump people up. The only thing this cheer does is make people say, “hey, lets do another cheer so we cannot hear this cheer.” Yea, DEATH TO DDD DEFENSE!!! I HATE YOU IF YOU LIKE THIS CHEER!
The writer of this message is venting from being insanely upset about this years baskeball team all year long and not letting it out. The only animals that were harmed during this message was a pig while the writer ate a pepperoni and sausage pizza. Pigs are harmed every day in this fashion so this writer does not feel any shame for eating them while typing this outstandingly non-content message.
LoL we love doing the DEFENSE chant when they do DDD Defense, and then doing the DDD Defense chant when they do DEFENSE. This is of course after we are ticked off at the stupid chants.
I’ll tell you, the Forty Niners chant across the gym is really intimidating when the place is half empty
I like cheerleaders. They are much prettier than most of the games, anyway. We played some ugly games this year.
I like all the ones you listed, my least favorite is the “You Suck” chant especially when we are losing the game.
- bullshit
- you suck
completely embarassing
“Dee-Fense…PLEASE?!?”

Completely agree. And I have to give kudos to Gill because everytime a BS chant has been started, I’ve noticed him trying to shut everyone up. I’m sure he’s not the only one but he’s the one I’ve noticed making an effort to stop the chant.

Why?
I personally enjoy the bullshit chant.

Couldnt agree more. The bullshit chant is just classless, come on guys there is no need for that, we have 7 year olds in the section next to us.
The You Suck chant is just flat out stupid, we are usually losing when the morons yell it, and plus, who are we to say someone sucks, we arent a postseason team.
And I would like to do a write-in vote for the singing of childrens songs and nursurey rhymes during opposing players free throws. Sorry guys, I know you think it’s orginal and funny, but it’s only original and funny to you all on the front row. I love the idea of being new and creative, but let’s not look like idiots. Can we please just be silent until the player is about to release the ball and then YELL?

Problem is no matter what we try to implement on free throws, most people just want to yell the whole time regardless. The sudden noise isn’t going to startle the shooter when he’s been hearing, “OOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOAAHHHHHHHH!!!” already. Studies have shown that constant yelling isn’t effective on free throws abecause most people just hear it as static and can therefore tune it out. The sudden yell, however, would be effective because it would startle the shooter.
Nursery rhymes were funny at first with the occasional “WTF?!” look from opposing players, but the novelty has worn off. If anyone can organize our student section to do anything together during free throws, go ahead.
I agree with the trend that “bullshit” and “you suck” are classless and unimaginative.
How about “we suck!”, because it’s true?
"Dee-Fense.....PLEASE?!?"
I like this one.
The nursery rhymes seemed to work for a while.
We tried the whole, lets be queit and then make an abrupt noise, doesnt work well. Even if only like one person makes the noise, and everyone else is quiet, it works.
Maybe its cause thier women, but just yelling brick (since its soo quiet at the womens games) Will throw off alot of the girl when they shoot.
I also think stompin, which we did a few times, starting of slow but then speeding it up might affect a shooter. I’f noticed that the DEFENCE chant usually works well when we start it slow and speed it up. I figure the stomping has the same affect.
Bottom line though, everyone one needs to be on the same page when it comes to making noise, or else it just does not work.
The “bullshit” may not be the classiest chant in the world, but the A-10 refs have been well deserving this year on several occasions.
My least favorite is the Forty-Niner chant while the opposing starting lineup is being called out. All we’re doing is making the PA announcer work harder and pissing off the fans who don’t have a program in hand. If they (opponents) have done something, either in warmups or in a previous game, to warrant the drowning out of their lineup, then okay. I just don’t get it otherwise. Try a real fast golf clap after each name is called or something else more comical or original.
