Are y'all okay with the fact that it's super effeminate? I mean, clapping with straight, outstretched arms is fine if you're a chick. But if you're a dude, it's geigh af. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
Just wanted to get y'all's thoughts. I'll hang up and listen.

You have never had to purchase a Father's Day card have you?

It would be funny if it were not so true so often. Sorry for your lack of a stable male influence. I know it hurts inside.

So I guess that means you don't wanna talk about the overtly effeminate gator chomp?

A better name for it is the Gator Clap, which is why you need to stay away from all Gatorettes.

The Gator chomp is not as irritating to me as the Seminole chant. And now I hear it at the Kansas City Chiefs games.

That is because the Seminole Tribe sent a letter to FSU admin and said they can no longer do the chant until they win more than 9 games in a season so that may be a little while someone else has to carry that mantra for awhile.

I think the gator chomp is pretty sweet and I fricking hate Florida almost as much as the cousin frickers in Alabama.

Pretty weak bud. Work on it.

FL stole the Gator Chomp from State
Rob Hyatt, a graduate assistant and the director of the Gators' pep band at the time, witnessed the Mississippi State band's tuba section playing the "Jaws" theme and the Bulldogs' cheerleaders doing the rhythmic motion when UF played MSU in Jackson, Miss., on Sept. 26, 1981.
Hyatt said he leaned over to the band member next to him — Musgrave — and said, “We need to be doing this.'' Musgrave said he agreed.
“Rob went to a staff meeting the following Monday and asked if we could do it,'' Musgrave said.
Hyatt got the approval, and Musgrave, waiting outside, asked if he could arrange the music for the tuba section. Hyatt said he gave him the go-ahead.
“The first time ‘Gator Jaws' was ever performed was the next week at LSU,'' said Hyatt, who still lives in Gainesville. “In the meantime, we let the cheerleaders know what we were going to do.''
The band introduced the new cheer to the home fans on Oct. 10 in a game against Maryland. The cheerleaders had already been using the motion in their “Eat 'em up Gators'' cheer, but until the chomp was put to music, it never caught on among the fans.
“By the end of the last home game that year, everyone was doing it,'' Hyatt said.

Good story. Now do we have a story about the first cowbells brought into a stadium?
