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.

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

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.

-
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.

Hero or Goat

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.

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.
