The most recent example was Purdue fans after beating Ohio State. This always seemed odd to me. It’s as if you are belittling the win. “You were not as good as we thought so this win is really not that big a deal.”

My fans sound normal. Maybe the base is loose

So it’s a self defecating chant.

What a stupid fricking idea for a thread. Fans are pumped their team is upsetting a higher ranked team, and an overrated chant is just a bunch of happy sportsdrunk fans trying to rub salt in the wound. Give me a break.

I think you are over analyzing the shite out of this....it is simply a way of further humiliating an opponent that your team is beating.

Yeah you beat #2 Ohio State, wouldn't you want them to stay high in the polls to make your win look better?

It was the perfect chant for this thread as I read it!

Agree with the OP's premise. You're insulting yourself.

Purdue was 3-3, lost to Eastern Michigan, and may still finish 6-6.

Ohio State is overrated. Just like posting topics like this in the MORE SPORTS BOARD is overrated.

I have heard this sentiment before but it’s a fairly ridiculous thing to think imo.

I mean fans are just excited in the moment and trying to make the opponents feel like shite about losing. It doesn’t need to be overanalyzed.

When LSU beat Okie State in the now Smoothie King Center in ‘99, the chant was in full force but I did not chime in. I felt like it took away from our accomplishment.

It was in full force against UGA 10 days ago.
Just a week after the Gators said the same about us.
