I know this article was old but it still pisses me off that of all those traditions and some teams getting 2-3 the one tradition we are known for is the beer song? That's it? That is like the last thing I think of for Wyoming Football.
Hell I think about the Western Thunder Marching Band, The cannon being fired man I really miss the cannon being fired. Players touching Steamboat on the way into the game so many traditions that go with UW sad only that one is recognized.

Seems slightly odd to me too, since Iowa has been doing the Beer song since the 1960's. Were we doing it before them?

One of my favorite traditions growing up in the WAR was when the East and West sides would get in competition with each other with who could be the loudest yelling W-Y-O! Loved that as a youngster. I don't think they do that anymore???

No. I heard the West side complained about the noise level at the game.Dutchnation wrote:One of my favorite traditions growing up in the WAR was when the East and West sides would get in competition with each other with who could be the loudest yelling W-Y-O!

UW did away with the W-Y-O cheer, and objected to bringing it back, even when it had been often requested by the fanbase. There was a certain female administrator that was by god going to do things her way, or not at all. To say she was (and is) a complete bitch is an understatement.Dutchnation wrote:One of my favorite traditions growing up in the WAR was when the East and West sides would get in competition with each other with who could be the loudest yelling W-Y-O!

They have played it at U of North Dakota hockey games since at least since I was a little kid. U of Wisconsin, etc... It's fun wherever it gets played.BJC wrote:but all kinds of schools do the beer song

That was a favorite of mine too. They tried to do it once or twice recently, but the cheerleaders didn't know what to do - the kinda divided the east and west side into thirds and had a small section do each letter instead of the entire east or west side yelling WYO, and they also were way to slow with it. We need to pull up some old video for them to watch. also many in the crowd didn't seem to know what to do - it was embarrassing.Dutchnation wrote:One of my favorite traditions growing up in the WAR was when the East and West sides would get in competition with each other with who could be the loudest yelling W-Y-O!

Almost as embarrassing as them announcing that we are going to do a cheer over the loudspeakers. I hate the every second planned out crap - that has significantly impacted the game experience imo.

My new seats are in the middle of the west side now. I'll increase the noise level for those around me whether they like it or not.OrediggerPoke wrote:No. I heard the West side complained about the noise level at the game.Dutchnation wrote:One of my favorite traditions growing up in the WAR was when the East and West sides would get in competition with each other with who could be the loudest yelling W-Y-O!
