For this old fart who graduated 45 years ago what is the "I believe" cheer?

If the student section wants to keep the same rhythm I would change it to:

Go
Go Marquette
Go Marquette, beat
Go Marquette, beat the
Go Marquette, beat the ___ ___ (Hoyas, Badgers, change it every game to the correct opponent).

Just before the tip:

"I believe that we will win."  Repeat until you vomit.

Stolen from Utah State, I think.

I actually like this idea although I think the "go marquette beat the" line would be unnecessary

If the alumni would get up off their sweater vests and join in the I Believe chant, it would be bad ass.

Not bad, but might get awkward with nicknames that have more than 2 syllables like the Xavier Musketeers or the NJIT Highlanders (whom we play this season).  And of course North Dakota, which now officially has no nickname.

I currently work at a school with very lame yells (we don't cheer because that's for cheerleaders). Here is one of ours:

Farmers fight!
Farmers fight!
Fight! Fight!
Farmers farmers fight!
Eh Whoop!

Pretty lame looking at it on paper. What makes it awesome is that literally everyone in Kyle Field, alumni and all, are screaming it at the top of their lungs. The words don't matter, it's the fact that is done in unison. If people got over the "this wasn't what Marquette did when I was a student" mentality, we could create a really awesome tradition.

Here are the rest of our yells, just to show you how lame they look on paper. But go to an Aggie football game, they will blow you away.

To see what it sounds like when everyone participates: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8DBjchjo5A8

And that video is from the "Midnight yell practice" the night before the game. It's even louder during the actual game. And if you look closely, you can actually spot TAMU Eagle in the crowd!

I like the "I believe" chant.

The "we are...", "jump around" and seven nation army chants are also rip offs.  So is raising your arms during free throws.

I hope the season gets here soon.

Yeah pretty much everything's a rip off of someone else now days.  I think it was better when we were pretty much invincible at home but oh well.

Fair enough... it's one thing to play a popular song to pump up the crowd (which isn't really under the control of the students), it's another to blatantly rip off a unique cheer and make it your own...  I understand the WE ARE thing isn't unique, and actually I thought it was a bit ridiculous the first couple of games that I went to as a freshman, but obviously that cheer isn't going anywhere...

on a related note, Wisconsin claiming that Jump Around is "theirs" is the dumbest thing I have ever heard (or any school claiming that a popular song is "theirs")... no matter where you play "jump around," people are going to "jump around," whether that is in Kamp Randall, the Bradley Center, or I don't know... ANY OTHER STADIUM/ARENA IN THE WORLD!

FWIW, we had the same complaints 30 years ago.   Student section actually used to boo the alumni. 
Luke 6:45   ...A good man produces goodness from the good in his heart; an evil man produces evil out of his store of evil.   Each man speaks from his heart's abundance...

It is better to be fearless and cheerful than cheerless and fearful.

Which is why MU needs to continue to lead in the one tradition where we've long been the cutting edge, and others follow us:  uniform designs.

"I believe" was worn out during the World Cup.  I agree that a unique chant is preferable, and that the words are less important than the participation.

Its the exact same number of syllables, flows well, is MU specific, and is awesome. I've been suggesting it since they started it, but alas, I graduated 2 years too early to get the movement going.

It's still a rip off if you change the words, just worse.  Either get something totally original or continue to shamelessly rip it off verbatim.

When MU goes on a run and you can tell the players are pumped you should start chanting "slap the floor! slap the floor!"
