Is the U C O N N chant the best in college basketball?

To say it’s not the same is like saying “Let’s go Hus-kies clap clap clapclapclap” isn’t the same as “Let’s go Yan-kees clap clap clapclapclap” is different because of the first syllable.

And in kindergarten when my teacher first started, teaching spelling, she was clearly ripping off the Jets because the Jets invented spelling. Am I right? 😂

I don’t know where you’re getting this weird spelling angle. But you do you.

No, I totally agree with you, the Jets invented spelling, so anyone who spell something must've ripped off the Jets. It makes perfect sense to me. 🙄

Prove it.

“According to the “official” history on UConn’s athletics site, that chant tradition “began in the late ’80s after Big Red felt that UConn spirit needed some extra support in leading their chants.

UConn Magazine (University publication) also places the origin in the early 1980s and describes Emery launching the chant because the cheerleaders’ prompts weren’t getting a response.

UConn’s official athletics site, however, describes the tradition as beginning in the late ’80s, so there’s a discrepancy between the university’s short official history and multiple long-form profiles of Emery (the 1982 date is the one most secondary sources attribute to him).”

If not the first, one of the first Big Red lead was during dream season 89 at Civic Center when we beat Georgetown when they were number 1. It was a weapon that year because it was organic, and by that game students were starting to call on him to deliver during timeouts. I still remember where Big Red was sitting, and how it got the crowd to next level

The Jets chant started in the 70’s and some say the 60’s.

That was a great part of it, when the chant for Red preceded his thing. I don't ever hear that anymore.

There’s no way to objectively quantify which fan chant is better (loudest recorded decibels?). But this actually made me realize I don’t know what chants other programs use, does anyone have examples?
