PUMP SEAMAN!!!!
PUMP SEAMAN!!!!
We are known as the BigBlue. Terrible mascot there is no such thing...
but our chant is 1-2-3 Blue Balls! it gets acouple teams laughin
A Hail Mary Prayer followed by the class 1-2-3 GO IRISH
We used to line up between all the Bible colleges, say the Hail Mary, and then yell "GO CATHOLICS!" Ah, the glory of a Jesuit education.
There is a Cox High in Virginia. When at running camp, me and a friend convinced the team to come up with a chant to get the team pumped up before field day competitions. Here's what it became:
One of the guys would yell: "What does everybody want"? And all the girls on the team would yell "COX"!
Couldn't imagine if they took that with them the rest of the season.
Cal Tech's mascot is the beavers (yes, they have an XC team) and before each race they get together and yell...
"beaver feaver beaver feaver beaver feaver - SNATCH it up!"
Men and women...not bad for a bunch of computer geeks.
(captain) "1-2-3" (team) "UMASS!!!" (captain) "4-5-6" (team) "KICKASS!!!"
nut check was our high school one
On the subject of college "chants" generally...one of the funnier ones is from the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology (which is, incidently, a small but top-rated engineering school...team name is the "Hardrockers"). They get the crowd saying: "Rah, Mines! Rah, Mines! Rah, Mines! Mines Rah! How's Yours?"

DOn't know if this story is true, but I always liked the tale about how the Villanova XC team once said a short prayer in lieu of a team chant, then just after "amen" Marty Liquori yelled "Let's beat those motherf*ckers!!!".
Fight fight for the inner light, kill quakers kill
most of those teams that are into the bouncing and the chanting usaully get their asses BEAT because they start rigging at 600 meters.
In HS we always had a sweet one.....WHOA Bundy! Gotta love Married with Children
I was always impressed by U of Ark.'s prerace antics. At their home meet someone starts clapping. while standing out in front of the startline, then all the guys come in from all different directions all clapping in the same rhythm. AS they come together to make a big circle the clapping gets faster till they're going nuts. I guess it's more impressive when you do something like this when you're as good as the Razorbacks are.
In HS we used to huddle up at the start and yell "go Colts". At one race the other teams laughed at us, we got the last laugh though, as we hung a 15! on them.
"Go Colts"

Reebok Aggies Running Club used chants to do before their NorCal USATF road races, i.e.: "The faster we can run, the sooner we have fun!" The thing is, these guys were in their 30s.
Dickinson college got together and chanted:
"GO HARD BIG DICK"
Those were the days. Now they are no longer permitted to do this because some left-wing idiot woman at a meet was offended, at least that is what I heard.
In HS we had several good chears that we'd say before races.
1-2-3 Steroids! was a good one to get some reaction but our best cheer was
"6-6-6 Satan!"
