This thread should be used for creating a new chant alongside our current standing traditions. 

       -Based on observation, chants should contain an even number of syllables. These even syllable chants should be           divided between two parties. This promotes comradery amongst fans, and results in a better gameday atmosphere.

*Feel free to add criteria that you believe makes a good chant.

Here's an example that I like: During games the student side chants "18" while the other side responds "04".

Winning Team Losing Team....
The student side points to our team on the sideline chanting Winning Team.
The tower side points to the opposition on their near sideline and chants Losing Team.

This.

Good ideas... I talked on the other thread about maybe just a simple O-HI-O!  (The syllables are a faster pace with a pause, done in counts of four.  O[1] HI[2] O[3] -pause[4]- O-HI-O.  Rinse, lather, repeat.)

Maybe a little OT, but another chant that I heard was when my HS alma mater played Chillicothe HS in the Southeast District Tournament and in the regionals.  The cheerleaders led it.  It went something like this (from CHS):

C!  A!  V!  S!  CAVS! CAVS! CAVS!  (By now ALL of their fans are standing up and clapping to the cadence of the chant.)  LETS GO CAVS!  LETS GO CAVS!  (ad naseum)

Keep in mind, this was in the Convo with about three or four thousand people in one corner yelling it across the floor.  Their entire following got into it; by far one of the most intimidating things I've heard from a crowd, most certainly from a high school crowd.  While I'm not one for ripping of high schools, during this chant, their fans were whipped up into a frenzy by the end of it.  I'm trying to come up with something that would get our fans to do the same.

I had some other ideas, but will post them later.

If we are wanting to incorporate OHIO more in chants, how about on the kickoffs?  I talked to someone in the O Zone about this but figured I'd share with everybody also. How about we get everybody to do the stereotypical kick off chant of "ohhh" but when the ball is kicked everybody chants "H-I-O"  so is sounds like OOOO-H-I-O. Yes it's a little OSUish but we should claim it back or, an alternative could be "OHHHH-HI-O" when the ball gets kicked. Thoughts?

Reminds me a little too much of the Philly fans' chant: E-A-G-L-E-S! 

 

Actually I was thinking about this during the game on Saturday and talked to a few Ozoners for the duration of my visit after the game.  As I sat in my new perch above the student section and near the band, I couldn't help but to notice more of their chants.  One of them was something to that effect during kickoffs but went HIOOOO O-H-I-O-HIOOOOOO O-H-I-O.  At the next game, go by them and listen.  Try and find a way to get the student section in unison with them and it will sound awesome.

I like the Winning Team Loosing Team idea but switch it up. Tower points to home team and students point to away team. That way you are pointing across the field at them. They have to watch you point at them.

Winning team, Losing team is old school.  Still good a good idea,  but does anyone know the origination of the chant?

started sometime in the 60's. was lost after that, but was John rhoads taught it to te OZone in the early 2000's which is how it came back. Been pissing off opposing basketball teams ever since.

I think I found a solution EVERYONE can be happy with.. 

O-HIO OH Yeah!! 

Well??
