Utah State truly has one of the most annoying chants, and it’s terrific
(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 ... Read More
