Top 5 College Football Sing Along Traditions:

I had to leave Neck off of my list because it is head and shoulders easily the best chant of All Time. Yes in the history of everdom (I just made up a word). STTDB is the greatest chant ever invented and it is not even close.

Before I even list off my top 5, I am going to start with a HELL NO list of chants. This list is basically the bottom feeders of stadium chants. The peasants of the world if you must say.

** Texas A&M- there is no way in hell would I take any chants or songs from Texas A&M. That whole fan base is an abomination and I can’t believe they are in the SEC. They have fan practice…. Who has the time to do this? If you have attended a fan practice, you are part of the problem. Why would I go practice chanting to go see my team get their ass kicked every Saturday?

** Ohio State- I also don’t want to hear any O-H-I-O chants. It is just so lame. Way to go, you spelled a four-letter word correctly. The band on the other hand…. Fascinating shit. From spelling out multiple words to moon walking like Michael Jackson. You name it, they have done it.

** The Clemson run down the hill thing…. HUH? Why is that exciting. Let’s touch a rock, then SPRINT down a hill and release some balloons before we go take on the big, bad Wake Forest Demon Deacons! That will show them! GTFO. Also, we all know who has the real Death Valley.

** Pittsburgh University/Penn State University and Sweet Caroline. You stole it from the Red Sox, and Sweet Caroline does not belong in Heinz Field or Happy Valley. Football is 60 minutes of pure anarchy, Sweet Caroline is something you dance to at a Wedding.

CLOSE BUT NO CIGAR LIST

Auburn- All I do is win. It is awesome, and it deserved to be on my top 5 list. But y’all have won TWICE, well really One time. I am not counting your National Championship during the Dwight Eisenhower Adminstration Era. So no, you don’t always win. LIARS!

University of Tennessee- I love Rocky Top. That is all I have to say about that. Your program is just so irrelevant.

BARELY MISSED LIST

  • West Virginia- ‘Nuff said. You know the song word for word don’t lie.

  • Florida State University- You just see the Chop everywhere. From Florida State, to Atlanta to Kansas City. It is not unique enough for my taste.

  • University of Wisconsin Jump Around- I could not put them over Va. Tech. I tried, I really did, but all I can think about is Frank Kaminsky’s smug ass face. Just don’t like him.

Before I get to the Top 5 list… Na screw it, here is my top Five List of the best College Football Sing Along Traditions:

  1. Virginia Tech University- Enter Sandman. This will get you jacked up. They still stink, but the entrance is ALL TIME. The Hokies might not win the game, but they will definitely win the party

  1. University of Alabama Rammer Jammer- After just beating the shit out of your football program, they then chant in your face in unison. That is tough to beat. Could you imagine losing 45-10 and some dorky band member is just yelling RAMMER JAMMER in your face? Or how about little Suzy who is a dancer saying: WE JUST BEAT THE HELL OUT OF YOU! That is brutal.

  1. University of Iowa- The Wave- Just awesome, that is it. Just fucking awesome. I love sports.

  1. Penn State University- Zombie Nation. It is hard to beat 100,000 + jumping and chanting to Zombie Nation.

1.) University of Florida- Won’t Back Down Tom Petty. This is just amazing. The Swamp literally singing every word to Won’t Back Down literally gives me goosebumps. This is what sports are all about and I am so happy that it is somewhat back. This is right after Tom Petty passed away against LSU. This is a Universal song, so go ahead and sing a long watching this video. GOOSEBUMPS! I hope you enjoyed the list!
