So, it is claimed the cheer started in the 8os.
I was in school in the 70s and a very much used chant was:
Rammer Jammer yellow hammer, give em hell Alabama. (repeat). my understanding is that the chant goes back to the 20s.
Any one else remember the chant?
I also remember doing the Hey (team we were playing) we're gonna beat the hell outa you (repeat)

what i remember from going to games as a kid in the '70's that the band used to do it before the game.."we're gonna beat the hell out of you.." because i had to ask my mother if i was allowed to say "hell"

I believe it was Steve Sloan as AD in the 80's that put a stop to it. Forget what year it came back, but I do remember doing it during pre-game a few times.
Personally, I've always hated the cheer.

Rammer Jammer. one of the best traditions in college football because it is just soooooo Alabama.
Let me explain. Most traditions in College football are pregame. Script Ohio, touching Howard's Rock, Osceola's spear, War Eagle's flight etc....
Alabama's great tradition only occurs following a victory. The Rammer Jammer is our tradition and reserved for winning....
Because at Alabama WINNING IS OUR TRADITION

I was a student in the late 1960s, and don't remember Rammer Jammer. As a dumbass college kid, I would have yelled as loud as anyone. Now it wouldn't bother me to never hear it again.

Class of '79 here, and yes, I remember it exactly as you say, including the pregame. But it wasn't as pre-planned as today.
