For the 2 down voting morons:

You just did the Chomp, which as the story goes was started in 1981 when Hyatt and Musgrave were at a Florida football game against Mississippi State in Jackson, Miss.

Hyatt was director of the Gators pep band at the time and noticed Mississippi’s tuba section playing the theme to “Jaws” and the school’s cheerleaders making a rhythmic motion with their arms.

He turned to Musgrave and said “we need to do this.” Musgrave agreed.

When they got back to Gainesville, plans were set in motion to create a new song and cheer. What they originally called “Gator Jaws” was performed for the first time the following week during Florida’s game at LSU. The pep band introduced the new cheer to fans at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium during a 15-10 win over Maryland on Oct. 10, 1981.

A tradition was born.
