Worst SEC cheer

Here's why Rammer Jammer sucks.

It's gibberish words used to rhyme with the state bird (the Yellowhammer). Absolutely ridiculous. Why the heck would you put the state bird in a song?

Sounds like a mental patient or homeless person came up with it.

I hate when the UGlyA band plays "Gory, Gory". For Pete sake all that song is, is the "Battle Hymn of the Republic" sped up. You would think a state that's capital was burned to the ground by the Union would want nothing to do anything related to it.

Not quite true. A bald eagle, (Auburn's is a Golden Eagle) was the mascot of the 8th Wisconsin Infantry Regiment in the Civil War and is the screaming eagle mascot depicted on the insignia of the U.S. Army's 101st Airborne Division. He would fly over the battlefield during the regiment's engagements.

This news is legitimately awesome. Thank you for sharing.

It does mean however that Auburn is celebrating the military success of the aggressors in that recent unpleasantness.

Actually, it's capital wasn't burned to the ground. In fact, nothing but a couple of buildings were burnt. :)

This made me think of a pro football one.

Every time the jags get a 1st down, the crowd yells "move them chains, move them chains, move them chains! Whoomp!"

I went to see them play the Colts last year and couldnt help but laugh every single time.

I swear......Titan fans don't seem to realize how retarded they sound doing this. They've been doing it for about the whole time they've been here.

This is an honest question, why does the band have to know 50 different versions of Rocky Top and why do they play it after every first down. They don't play anything else it seems.

Actually, the Yellowhammer was sewn on the uniforms of Alabama's civil war regiments, and Rammer Jammer Yellowhammer was said regiments' battlecry. I am sorry I know that. I feel dirty.

Go Vols!

There is one version of Rocky Top, the band simply starts at different places in the music based on the situation.

Each band member also has a folder full of stand music; it's just not used that often. There's some great music in there but a lot of it just isn't played.

Traitor.....:p:crazy:

At least it's civil war history and not Bama football history.

Two Bits was dumb and Rammer Jammer is kind of dumb.

I do like some of them mentioned in this thread though. Pig Soooey, all of LSU's chants and I even don't mind the "Go Gators" or Chomp deal. Flame away.

We used to only play it after touchdowns and turnovers. Over time under the Fulmer regime, we had to lower our expectations which is why we started celebrating things like first downs instead of touch downs.

The only "alternate" version I can think of is when the band drops the instruments to sing the chorus.

I stand corrected - it's civil war gibberish :)

It is a tossup between callin the hogs, the squawk they play at USClite home games, and the our-cheers-are-so-terrible-we-have-to-ring-a-cowbell cheer of MSU.

Don't feel too bad Volmorning. It's OK to know a few Alabama facts. To make you feel better, here is a quote from Sam Watkins civil war diary referring to the Alabama yellow flickers as they passed the 1st Tennessee on their way to the rear.

" and as they passed our regiment, you never heard such fun
made of a parcel of soldiers in your life. Every fellow was yelling at
the top of his voice, "Yaller-hammer, Alabama, flicker, flicker, flicker,
yaller-hammer, Alabama, flicker, flicker, flicker." I felt sorry for
the yellow-hammer Alabamians, they looked so hacked, and answered back
never a word."

Some thing never change I suppose.

I know its not SEC but at that UCLA game last year, the 8 clap was terrible. Everyone was on the wrong time, all out of sync. Just terrible.
