I'll start us off. To me it's not close. The Classic is probably the one of the most devastating cheers in college basketball. Think about times we've whipped that out after a devastating run in a huge game. The arena is deafening and the opponents look unnerved. Syracuse players in particular must hear it in their dreams and wake up in a cold sweat. Tom Izzo's hearing has probably never been the same since the game against us in Garden. It is a fearsome weapon lead by a devilishly handsome red giant. It is everything that is good is college basketball.
On the other hand, the Upstart gets trotted out at random times. It is more of a time filler during breaks. For me at least, there is no comparison.
