Wisconsin takes the air out of "Airball!"

They take that Badger thing too seriously up there.

 

When I was in high school, in the early-mid 70s, our school had an offcially sanctioned cheer:

Cheerleaders: "WE...."
Crowd: "WE..."
Cheerleaders: "WE DONT ..."
Crowd: "WE DONT ..."
Cheerleaders: "WE DONT TAKE ..."
Crowd: "WE DONT TAKE ..."
Cheerleaders: "WE DONT TAKE NO ...."
Crowd: "WE DON'T TAKE NO ............ (extra long pause)
Crowd and Cheerleaders together: "SHIT!! HEY, WE DON'T TAKE NO SHIT! HEY, WE DON'T TAKE NO SHIT!! HEY, WE DON'T TAKE NO SHIT!! (Repeats)"

 

Officially sanctioned by who?

 

The school. The cheerleaders included it in their regular rotation of cheers (once a quarter or so). They were never disciplined or told to stop.

And there was no pretense there was any other punchline than "SHIT!!!" There was no explanation that they really wanted to say "stuff," but ruffians in the stands were hijacking it.

This went on as long as I was in HS, until '76, and a couple years afterward.

 

I would think someone as smart as yourself at age 10 could come up with a better chant.

 

I didn't write it, I just joined in. For 1972 it was pretty witty.

 

We had a group of a dozen or so hellions who used to serenade the crowd at full-shouted volume at sports events with accompaniment on harmonica and kazoo.

In fall 1973, when I was 15, a big radio hit was "I Love" (Little Baby Ducks) by Tom T. Hall.
So I wrote an alternate version which became a huge hit for our group:

We Love ... Little Baby Ducks
Hot and Sloppy Fucks,
Panties on the floor,
And Pussy.

We Love ...
Girls who love to screw,
Sloppy Blowjobs Too,
Chocolate Ice Cream,
And Cookies.

And we ... Love You Too!!
