Is it just me or do I think the “I Believe That We Will Win” chant is kind of corny and high school ish? I don’t plan to use it for the O-Zone ever.

Other than that, I’m really, REALLY looking forward to the game against Fiami and I’m devoting all free time to researching their players and digging up all the dirt I can.

Yes, too generic. Plus Buffalo has long claimed that as "their chant."

The best chants are the ones that just develop during the game based on the player's antics or characteristics. I remember one year there was a player with the last name "Bates." One guy screamed "you're the Master, Bates" and it evolved into the Ozone chanting "Masterbates" every time he got the ball. When Antonio Gates was at Kent, he was sweating so bad it looked like he wet himself. We started chanted "Ass Sweat" every time he touched the ball. Mullet. Grandpa. Urkel. Goofy organic stuff like that is gold to college students.

"Ron Weasley" to that ginger kid from Portland. "Powder" to that guy from Marshall, who is now the head coach at Eastern Kentucky.

I laughed wayyy too hard at that. I agree, some kids come up with the best things just off of a guys appearance. We didn’t get the opportunity to last game but we thought Titus Wright of WMU looked like a discount Lil Jon.
