"I Believe That We Will Win" chant. Who invented it?

[Extra Point]

I thought that we invented that chant and that the women's soccer team used it. I did not like when Penn State used our chant against us but we deserved it. However, checking youtube shows that many different university sports teams use it. So when and who started it?

You really thought RU invented it? LOL

ESPN did a profile a few years ago. It was a male cheerleader from Navy.

Honestly, this is on youtube so no clue what you were searching for...



This is just funny as one of the many things that can be found with an easy google search, but people feel the need to post to find an answer rather than do it on their own.

And they got it from some obscure soccer team in England. Doesn't sound like a macho American chant.

Sissyiest gayest chant ever invented

That's why I thought it was invented for soccer (or metric football for it's fans)

Borrowing a quote from Carl Malden playing Gen. Omar Bradley in "Patton":

"I don't know, but they ought to hang him."

you want to hang members of the US Navy???? WTF!?!

But we invented beer pong, right?

 

[AreYouNUTS]

Great chant! No need to hate!

Not sure about that. It's been at Dartmouth for 50 years or more.

Well the Army never did like the Navy.

My daughter's softball team used to do the cheer a few years ago.

 

[StyleKnight]

At least we invented college football.

I think every college claims that and every fraternity claims their house inspired animal house.

"That's why I thought it was invented for soccer (or metric football for it's fans)"

Metric football??? Let's try this again. One sport is played with the feet. One with the hands.

so which one has the wrong name?

The inspiration for Animal House was Alpha Delta at Dartmouth, where Chris Miller, the writer for the National Lampoon and the movie itself, was a member.

Harold Ramis and Douglass Kenney had been working on the script for some time before Miller joined as the 3rd collaborator.
Ramis was a member of ZBT at Washington University, St. Louis, where he drew inspiration.

 

[Blitz8RUCrazy]

Worst.
Chant.
Ever...

But we invented beer pong, right?

Doubtful, given that the game was called "Beirut" when I was at Rutgers & beer pong was a 4 person game with paddles.

Oops I meant the chant "I believe that we will lose". Did Rutgers invent that one?

That is not why soccer is called football or it would be called kickball instead using your logic.

More so than Syracuse's, "forget the chicks, we want d*cks" chant they do? I don't know...

Yep, using that logic, soccer would be called kickball, baseball would be called batball, and basketball would be called dribbleball.

Of course, prior to the invention of the forward pass, the primary way to move the ball in Football was to run with it. So if football is not an appropriate name, then maybe runball is.

What is this "Google" you speak of? I've searched my yellow pages and phone book listings and found nothing. Maybe it'll be in my dewey decimal search tomorrow. If not I'll check the microfiche.

That chant happened in the back of the student section before the Grant punt return for a touchdown during the Washington game. Loved it in that situation. Clearly audible from the upper deck.

You're a douche.

Why are you so bigoted against douches? Why so judgmental?

LOL, they originally called it football because it was played on foot rather than on a horse.

Most football codes involves running with the ball, soccer is the only oddball that does not.

The first time I saw it was about 5 years ago on youtube. Utah State has a great version of it. They were one of the few that I saw do it before the whole soccer thing. If you want to see another great chant, look up Utah state winning team Losing team chant.

By the way, speaking of claiming chants. I once saw PSU chick on a the train try to claim that OOOOOOO chant. You know, the chant that is the bass from the song "Seven Nation Army." She got pissed off a girl chanting it on the train so she said "shut up, you don't go to Penn State. That's a Penn State song/chant." I wanted to tell her that it was a Jack White song, but she would probably just tell me that I was wrong.
