College football sports silly chants

The colorful spectacle of the college football game, marked by peppy students and high stepping bands, is usually completed by a sometimes irreverent cheer section.

The cheers and jeers usually reflect the school’s reputation and fall into two main categories: Intellectual and hostile.

At the top of the list are the Quaker schools. Founded by pacifists who reject violence and are motivated by politics, Quaker school cheers are both hostile and intellectual plus political.

The classic, used by every Quaker college:
Fight, fight, inner light!
Kill, Quakers, Kill!
Knock ’em down, Beat ’em senseless!
Do it ’til we reach consensus!
On the more hostile side:
Blood makes grass grow!
Kill, Quakers, kill!

On the political side:
Stop multinational corporations
from raping third-world countries.
Go team.

On the intellectual side:
Fight exuberantly!
Fight exuberantly!
Compel them to relinquish the ball!

On the nerd side of things we have the appropriately named Great Nerd Chant. Used by the University of Chicago and Swarthmore, among others:
Pericles, Sophocles, Peloponnesian War
X-squared, Y-squared, H2S04
Cosine, tangent, secant, line
Three point one four one five nine.

On the snarky intellectually hostile side, attributed to the University of Chicago:
Two, Four, Six, Eight
God is dead and Nietzsche’s great!
Kant, Hegel, Marx, Spinoza
Come on team, hit ’em in the nosa.
