(UPDATE: Someone sent in a tip that posed the question: Did Utah State steal this from Ohio?)

Sometimes, you go through life and just miss stuff. Hell, I’m 28 and just got to watching “The Godfather” parts 1 and 2 within the past six months. I’ve still never seen an episode of “24,” “Dexter,” “The Wire” or “The Sopranos.” I’m not happy about it; I hope to remedy all of that within the next two years.

Since Utah State is only on television nationally about twice per year, if that, I can’t remember the last time I actually watched a home game the Aggies played — if anything, I see them during Championship Week for the WAC tournament.

Additionally, if the game was a blowout, why would I continue to tune in?

So, while getting some writing done last night, I had the Idaho-Utah State blowout on in the background when I heard a pretty damn fantastic chant from the student body. It’s simple, direct, unapologetic, boastful and has a good cadence to it. Give it a quick listen.

Listen, you and I both know there are a lot of tired and terrible chants all around the country. I want to see some real evidence of student-section evolution in the next decade. Sure Duke comes up with something nice every now and again (the mocking off the dribbling and passing comes to mind), but what about everyone else? At least this sounds fresh, right? And damn: If I was an opponent in the Spectrum (the Aggies’ home gym), I would HATE having to hear that. Utah State rarely drops one at home, so you’re nearly guaranteed to get a lecture from the crowd whenever you walk in there.

I know there are more terrific, original chants out there. Kindly link me: editor@collegehoopsjournal.com.
