slightly OT - odd sports cheers

[KnightBridgeAZ]

Went to a game at New Mexico State earlier this week. Turns out they use a cheer "Guns Up", which relates to their double revolver shooting symbol.

Got to thinking about other "odd" cheers, and will admit that Rutger's "Upstream Red Team" qualifies. Others I have noted:

- Purdue's "Boiler Up"
- Arizona's "Beardown, Arizona" - which relates to a "win one for the Gipper" type of story
- Texas A&M's "Gig Em" - although it may be anything an A&M cheer person says is obscure.

Am I missing any?

They all seem odd to me, but Boiler Up, especially. I get the boilerpart, as in boilermakers, bu tit sounds like something out of moonshining.

I work for a group of community colleges in and around Phoenix, one of which, Scottsdale Community College, has as its mascot the Fighting Artichokes. I am told, but cannot prove on short notice, that there is a college cheer. If that turns out to be true, I am dead certain it will make your list. Cannot imagine how one cheers on artichokes.

The Stanford Band likes to chant that one, when it applies.

And then there is the "cheer" dedicated to their arch rivals U[sic]GA:

What's the Good Word?
To HELL with georgia!

My cousin in GA went to Tech, his kids went to UGA. I asked him once who he roots for and he said "My hearts with Tech, but my money is at Georgia".

A Yale cheer, borrowed from Aristophanes:

Brekekekex, ko-ax, ko-ax, Brekekekex, ko-ax, ko-ax, O-op, O-op, parabalou, Yale, Yale, Yale, Rah, rah, rah, rah, rah, rah, rah, rah, rah, Yale! Yale! Yale!
