You Suck cheer

Great response, someone has a differing opinion so we tell them to go away and "go post on MLive." Fantastic response.
So do you actually honestly want the crowd to chant we suck? Because I'm sure the second that happened MGoBlog would go nuts ripping the student section to shreads.
The point of a crowd, especially a student section, is to be a raucous environment to help support the home team and rattle the opposing team. Whether you old foggies like it or not, it's something that the sudent section likes doing and helps get them excited. The team's job is to score points and win the game, it's the crowd's job to be loud and an intimdating environment to help facillitate that, regardless of team or score. If you're saying that the crowd should temper their attitude so when we're playing a better team or losing a game we put our head between our tails and just shut up, you have no idea how to be a fan.
Also, calling the "you suck" bush league is laughable. Play any sport ever and you'll know what bush league is.

that we can't chant that another team sucks after we stop them on 4th down, well, I'd be pretty disappointed. For reference, on kickoffs OSU students chant "O-H-I-O rip his f***ing head off."

Gah, the Wolverine Claw... Thanks, Michigan Daily.

I cringe every time, in fact... I yell "Good Luck!". Poor taste... expect it at other places, not here. Not classy and am not proud of it. I apolgize to anyone I bring that hears it. Not what I think of when I think "Michigan Football" in fact the anthesis.

a fine cheer. it's annoying at times when we're losing but overall i like it.

mostly because we've sucked more.
However, I'm old and in my day we only chanted affirmative cheers. Bedecked in our racoon coats and sporting ukuleles, we would encourage our charges with cheers of "23 skidoo!" and "Oh, you kid!"

Personally I chant "Go Blue" at the end. I hear a smattering of people doing the same in section 36.

The cheer is elligant in its simplicity. Stop trying to make football "classy".
It's very satisfying when you're winning. Alot of the complaints seem to be "but we've sucked". We're not supposed to suck. We will not continue to suck and we will go back to having dominating games justifying the cheer.
Until then i'm fine with bragging for no reason. I joined the campus 08 and didn't follow college football before then. That cheer was the only thing I had to convince me that Michigan was once good. I like it.

I concede, perhaps a big reason I'm not a fan... is when it's chanted when we are losing (and it's not close)... then we just look foolish. If it's reserved for big games and appropriately timed then I guess I'm all for it. See, I'm trying to find a reason not to yell at you to "Get off my lawn!"...

I always thought it is silly in hockey games when the opponent returns to full strength and people say "and they still suck." In reality the home team sucks as they didn't score on the power play.

Gotta get rid of the FSU CHOP YOU SUCK ....keep it original Ann Arbor i tell everyone around our section to stop that CHOP SHIT ! Its a Tallahassee Thing and they can keep it !

The you suck chant is not even that bad I have been to countless sporting events with chants way worse then just saying you suck. I like it its fun to say
September 20th, 2015 at 12:09 PM ^
I also cringe everytime I hear this. This plays right into the uninformed fans problem I have. It is classless and is another embarrassment. Who sucks? Was it the team that didn't make a bowl last season? Get a grip and quit putting a target sign on our own backs. I grew up respecting guys like Joe Dumars and Barry Sanders. Guys who just shut up and did their job. Now it's time for us to shut up and do our job.

A little OT, and this goes way back, but I remember sitting in the student section with my older sister when George Cavender was the band director and the band had just started the "let's go blue" song and chant. The band was playing it seeminlgy between every play, and the students were getting so sick of it, that instead of chanting "let's go blue" they started chanting "fuck you George." Now that's original AND classy!
