Miscellaneous Animal Related Cheers

Many of the Animal cheers are based on game situations or plays that happen during the game.  The following is a list of some of our favorite situations explaining when we use them.

Pitching Situations

  • Rag-Arm, (clap, clap), Rag-Arm, (clap, clap), etc..

  • Load ‘em up Rag-Arm, Load ‘em up, (clap, clap), etc..

  • Walk ‘em in Rag-Arm, Walk ‘em in, (clap, clap), etc..

  • Take her out! Leave her in!, etc.

  • My Three Son’s: The theme to “My Three Sons” is sung when the third pitcher for the opposing team enters the game.

  • Whoop, Whoo, etc.: When a new opposing pitcher is warming up.  If the catcher is throwing harder, reverse it.

  • RRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGG AAAAARRRRMMMM!!!!

Coaching Situations

  • Hut, hut, hut, etc…
    These are done whenever an opposing coach comes out on the field to talk to his pitcher or argues with the umps.  You may spice up the cheer by shouting military cadence, or animal sounds for particular teams (slithers, crawl, flap, etc…).  When the coach reaches the dugout we shout “Trip, stumble, fall, boom.  Damn dugout!!”
      Anything may be substituted for “dugout” including pizza boxes, honey, RAID, probation, etc…

  • Waaaaaaaah
     A crying baby noise is done whenever an opposing player or coach complains about nearly anything.

Visiting Batter Situations

  • Hero or Goat 
    Shout “hero or goat” when a batter is up with men in scoring position.  Do goat noises after you say goat.

  • Rally Killer
    Shouted when the aforementioned goat makes an out that kills the scoring threat.

  • Come On Back
    Chanted when a batter heads towards first base when he shouldn’t and/or a batter hits a foul ball and the base runners must return to their bases.

Game Situations

  • Circus Song
    Loudly hum the Circus Song when the opposing team makes an error.  At the end of the song, say “Who are these guys?  The Bumbling Brothers!”  Nearly anything can be substituted for “brothers” to fit the opposing team (example - Julios for Miami)

  • N-O-L-E-S Cheer
    The NOLES cheer has historically been led by Mongo, the official mascot and spirit-leader for the Animals.  Recently is has also become a tradition that sometime during a rookie Animal’s first season, he or she must lead a NOLES cheer in front the whole section.  This will be strictly enforced.

  • Tequila
    The Tequila song is sung when we have men on base and need a rally.  We have about a 63% success rate with this cheer.  More recently, Tequila was the theme song for FSU Infielder Jose Zabala (shouting Zabala instead of Tequila)

  • War Chant
    The infamous chant stolen by the Atlanta Braves, Kansas City Chiefs, Cleveland Indians, Washington Redskins, and most other sports teams with a Native-American themed mascot.  Just remember…FSU  STARTED IT!!

  • Hey, Yo Mama
    Same tune as the war chant except use the words “Hey, Yo Mama”. May also be sung in Spanish if playing Miami. “Hey, Su Madre”

  • K-Time
    We use this chant when an opposing player is on the verge of striking out.  K being the baseball scorer’s symbol for strikeout.
