Most annoying fan chant / stadium routine
- Thread starter BostonNit
- Start date
Voted for Iowa. I love the intent and spirit but the execution seems so contrived. It’s disruptive to the flow of the game and ****-inducing to announcers stumbling over themselves trying to heap as much praise as possible on Iowa and is vomit inducing.
**** = j1zz

I think Pitt stopped with the ‘Penn State sucks’ chant a few years ago. I’d replace that with the Tennessee band playing Rocky Top every 2 minutes (Oklahoma band does similar) or the O-H-I-O chant.
I like the tomahawk chop at FSU. It’s unique and well done in their stadium.
I think the most cringe worthy are the Texas A&M yell leaders.

Mississippi State cowbells have all of those beat. Sitting amongst that may induce violent thoughts.
Yelling anything during the National Anthem.
It has been a long time but I still remember when Penn State played FSU in the first Blockbuster Bowl. I had been aware of the chant and chop (especially living in Atlanta, as the Braves used it - made me dislike the Braves too) but I remember hearing that thing all during the game. Very annoying. Penn State getting clobbered in the game didn't help either. Had only 2 choices so I made Iowa 2nd as hypocrisy doesn't sit well with me. I would've picked Michigan HTTV and although not listed, the USC fight song I would've chosen as well - both are incredibly annoying to me for some reason, which I guess is why the schools pick those songs - they annoy the opposing team and fans!
Sweet Caroline. The winner will always be Sweet Caroline until they replace it.
That Penguins air horn thing they have going on. Never really noticed it until this year.
On the other side of the coin, I love the Rangers fans “Potvin sucks!” chant.

Iowa's "wave to the kids" thingy and all the associated teary-eyed bluster is the most cloying stadium routine in college sports. Virtue signaling at its finest.

You should change the title to reference college... #1 for me would be the Braves fans doing the tomahawk chop. Every time I hear it done I say to myself someone's doing that stupid Braves cheer... I don't associate that with FSU even though they were the ones who started it
FSU tomahawk chop is up there. The reason they use it so much is its the only thing their fans could learn the words to.
But... I'm going with a write in: USC playing snippets of their fight song after almost anything positive happening....from a routine 3 yard carry to, seemingly, successful readjustment of someone's shoulder pads.

my director is an A&M grad. his constant use of the term "yell leader" instead of "cheerleader" makes me want to throw things. and when i talk about the three biggest stadiums being in the B1G, he always says, dead seriously "except for Kyle Field, biggest in all sports"
Wait, you don't think a successful readjustment of someone's shoulder pads calls for a few rousing bars from "Conquest?" What about when they call a time out? Surely that's a good reason to put two fingers in the air and play the same 8-10 measures of music for the umpteenth time. Seriously, if this would have been on the list, it would have gotten my vote.
This may not rise to the level of the routines already mentioned. But I don't get OSU's "clap routine", led by the head coach. I don't know if Urban brought this to OSU or if it predated him. But Day continues this "tradition". I have always thought it looks odd for a football coach to, in essence, be leading a cheer. .
Voted for the FSU Tomahawk Chop because I am a lifelong Atlanta Braves fan and I hate it when their fans to the Chop.
And your reply to him when he says that should be 'they need something extremely large to house all that mediocrity".
When watching games on TV, I think if you kept count, there'd be a close battle between Boomer Sooner, the USC Fight On, and Rocky Top as to what gets played more throughout the game. But the one that drives me nuts is whenever the Georgia defense gets a 3rd down, they play the same damn song over and over and over and over again. I've attended a few Florida-Georgia cocktail parties over the years and I have never failed to need the Advil after the game and it wasn't from drinking too much.
Is it Michigan that has a "key play" where people in the stands fish their keys out of their pocket and shake them?
It's annoying.
It's annoying.
The S E C chant ugh. Enduring it in attendance while UK and Arkansas were beating us in the recent bowl games made me cringe.
Not uncommon for a loud "Yankees Suck" chant to break out during a Celtics/Bruins game
The SEC chant seems dumb to me - it's short for "we are not Bama, but we ride their coattails".
B’s we’re on road in Anaheim of all places and one broke out. Even Jack had to acknowledge it. 53-11-5 so far. Can you believe it?
I heard the same while walking down a street prior to the Auburn game. But, I don't think they were talking about baseball.
ANY NHL team that needs to have a horn blow to fire up the crowd - Canes, Caps, Pens, many others all do it - is annoying and lame.
Love the Garden Faithful with the "Lets GO RANGERS!!!" chants on their own (no horn blow required!), and ON THE ROAD!!! And of course, Potvin always SUCKS!
Look at team goal differential... Bs are more than 2x second best team. Insane... as long as they don't run into another Ken Dryden
I guess they all still sore about the arsh whippin ol sherman laid down
I wish that I did tooUSC's Fight Song also comes with this:
They also do this dumb air guitar thing on a third down for their opponent - they never stop anyone on third down, so you end up hearing it ad nauseam
