WTF is this chant at Penn State??

[gopher7]

Do they want people to turn the channel? Because I am tempted. Maybe it's just been a while since I've watched a game there, but I do not remember this and it's driving me nuts.

What are they chanting?

I am watching but I have the volume off so I can listen to the Twins

 

[Go Gophers Rah]

Are you talking about "Seven Nation Army" by the White Stripes?

Woe Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh

Are you talking about "Seven Nation Army" by the White Stripes?

Woe Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh

I'm presuming you mean "Kernkraft 400" by Zombie Nation.

I'm presuming you mean "Kernkraft 400" by Zombie Nation.

I think they are doing both.

 

[GophersInIowa]

They were doing Seven Nation Army for sure.

 

[dpodoll68]

I think they are doing both.

I'm not even watching.

I only chimed in because "Woe Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh" is Zombie Nation, not The White Stripes.

 

[gopher7]

It's not the Zombie Nation one, must be the other. It got the point where my 4 year old son started humming it. It seems like it kind of died off as the tide of the game changed though, is it only a first down thing?

dpotdoll, I think you don't know what you're talking about.
Here is the Penn State crowd chanting 7 Nation Army:

That's the one.

BTW, I was just messin' with Dpodoll. The chant to both is: Woe oh oh oh oh oh. Simplicity is part of the sports music scen (see Rock N' Roll part 1 for an example).

Yes, Penn State does both very often. They also do the ol' Rock and Roll Part I (I think I got that right) often.

Penn St. has been doing this on 1st down at least since 2005.

I really envy their coordination, 21k+ students chanting in unison on almost every down, very impressive.
