Fight. Win. Drink. Get Naked!

<p>Numba 13 baby! Highest we've been ranked since like my freshman year.</p>

<p>Here's to a hopefully undefeated season! Definitely need to make sure I get tickets to the Clemson game this year (I want to rush the field again ;))</p>

<p>The Maryland score gave me a heart attack… not sure why we cannot put up some better points against these teams</p>

<p>Tell me about it! I just hope we can stay undefeated for Clemson. Maybe crack the top 10 before and be the Gameday game of the week :)</p>

<p>I’m not so worried about our offense, but I’d feel a whole lot better if our defense was a little more dominant.</p>

<p>Why the " GET NAKED " part ?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Cuz it’s more fun to get naked! :slight_smile: It’s just part of the cheer, not really sure where it came from.</p>

<p>Too bad we blew our shot at GameDay…■■■</p>

<p>For the longest time, it was just “Fight! Win!”, and that’s still the official version and all the band and cheerleaders will say. The problem is that it sounds awkward. The cheer has four drum beats and students yell something for the first two then nothing for the last two. </p>

<p>In the 80’s/90’s, students started yelling different things. What eventually caught on was “Drink!” followed by another phrase that’s not suitable to be posted here (or yelled in public). Some student leaders realized that this made the school look really bad on TV and families were reluctant to come to games because of the simultaneous swearing of 10,000 students about 10 times per game. </p>

<p>Eventually, student organizations intervened in the early 2000’s with new phrases to try to stop the swearing. “Fight! Win! Drink! Beat Georgia!” was popular for some time, but eventually “Fight! Win! Drink! Get Naked!” apparently won out, even though it doesn’t go with the music (actually neither of those two do).</p>

<p>I’m not the biggest fan of this phrase. I think people should go with “Fight! Fight! Win! Win!”, but it’s really an organic thing that the students develop over the years. One student will yell something, then the people around him will yell it if they like it, etc. and it grows from there.</p>

<p>And if you think crude cheers is a new thing in college… one of the oldest GT cheers is:</p>

<p>Differential X, Differential Y
A Squared, B Squared, Integral of Pi
Engineers Touchdown, Engineers Yell
Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets Fight Like Hell</p>

<p>Which was followed unofficially by the (all male) students with:</p>

<p>Differential Y, Differential X,
(Something) the Differentials we want Sex
Engineers Touchdown, Engineers Yell
Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets Fight Like Hell</p>

<p>People sometimes forget that college students in the 1930’s were just like college students today, just with less technology.</p>

<p>Ya’ll fight, win, drink, get naked is the best chant ever.</p>

<p>WE BEAT CLEMSON
WE BEAT CLEMSON
WE BEAT CLEMSON</p>

<p>If you think beating Clemson is a big deal, wait until next season. GT was supposed to be in a 7-5, maybe 8-4 rebuilding year with a young team. Next season they’ll be much better, particularly on both lines of scrimmage.</p>
