Big Red chant

Don’t post on a fan forum if you don’t want to have people comment on your posts.

Your try hard act is thin and not entertaining to anyone. You’re not the first one here to dislike what I have to say. Just be better at it.

In both cases a LOT longer than anyone was doing them at UConn games. Do you dispute that?

When do you think the each tradition started? You seem very certain of the timeline.

You're right.

The J-E-T-S, Jets, Jets, Jets chant is much different from the U-C-O-N-N, UConn, UConn, UConn chant.

The Jets chant is pretty good I’ve experienced it live in stadium. Unfortunately the chant is better than the team.

Then you should be used to it. Maybe quit whining when it happens?

I mean, it matters because that was my question. To be clear, my question has nothing to do with the nature of the chant itself, who leads it, or chants that other schools have for different situations. Everything being discussed is fine with me, but I am asking something specific, and I don't think anyone has named an example of it yet. (Except maybe "calling the hogs." I'm gonna research that. Maybe that's one.)

Starting to feel like I’m back in one of my 200 level English classes where the prof knows he doesn’t have a clue what he’s talking about so he keeps throwing it back to the class

I confess that is eerie as hell when you hear it in person. AFH gets insanely loud with so many packed in.

Flailing like, oh, I don’t know, responding twice to the same post? [chuckles]

He happens to be right in this case. It is a ripoff of the Jets chant, thats a fact. "Lets go Huskies" is also a ripoff of "Lets go Rangers" . You are trying much too hard. Ease off the stick a little there, maverick.

That may be true, but we invented " YOU REFS" when we chanted it at James Breeding last year.

I imagine that we may need an old timer who goes back to the Shabel days but does anyone have a legitimate time frame as to when the UConn chant started?

I remember it from very early in JC's tenure. I'm not sure if I heard it during the Perno years but after Corny et al graduated Perno didn't provide a lot to cheer about

I don't remember hearing it at Shea until around 1982-1983 (for the record I had season tickets then and had been to some stray Jet games from when Namath was still there).
 
The UCONN chant is nothing at all like the jets chant

wait, the founder of the UConn chant is one of the village people?
which one? i always liked the cowboy guy best, tho the first nation guy is pretty slick, too.
i really learn a lot here, like, since hoops was invented at the ymca, and to do the ymca thing you have to wave ur arms, just like the UConn one, then obviously the good lord invented ball just so he/she/it could be a Huskie fan. freakin amazing. Spock should do one his strange but true shows aboot all this.
i played a lot of ball at the downtown SF y, just off Market. sometimes, coming out late at night into the Tenderloin, i would say a prayer to get home without getting shot.
full circle.

Cheering started during Roman Coliseum days when stomp the crap out of them really meant what it implies.

And the Greek marathon promoted streaking.
 
We had the Guru known as Jeremy who had some great stuff, some of which may have carried over.

Honorable mention goes to UCONN! HUSKIES! UCONN! HUSKIES! UCONN! HUSKIES! HUSKIES! UCONN! WOOF! It just pops up, like on the San Antonio Riverwalk.

Incorrect, they learned it from the NY Rangers.

I think that’s the best use of that chant. I don’t love it randomly during gameplay, though, I’ll still do it, reflexively.

Mrs Stllh8l8ner and I chant that at parties sometimes down here in PA. Usually after a couple of glasses of wine. The Villanova alums love it…
 
I actually got Xavier spelling out X-a-v-I-e-r during the broadcast which surprised me. May have been part of a fight song or something?

I remember that Jeremy guy. Big Red is a poster here. Maybe he can give us his history.

Jeremy led the North Goal Gang during soccer games in the 80's. Big Red is a poster here is a bit of an understatement, but it is true.
