Hi rickety whoop-te-do, Boomer Sooner, Okla-U!

[TopDawg]

I've got it from a good source that there are some students wanting to bring back this old yell. It's actually the official OU Yell, started back in 1895. Some of you old folks may remember it from football games a few decades ago, but I don't know that it has ever been popular during my lifetime.

I kinda like it...I hope it works. Be on the lookout for it at the football games.

As long as they are making some noise and not sitting there like some kind of Baylor fan I don't care what they yell. The noise in the 08 tech game should be the norm, not a noteworthy event.

Right on! :D

BRING IT BACK!

Let's practice! Instead of the tradition gameday yell threads here...

Hi rickety whoop-te-do!

(now somebody do the next line)

[KantoSooner]

"We gonna stomp a mud hole in you"

This is sig worthy! :D

[swardboy]

Whoop te do! Now I know where that phrase came from!

[TUSooner]

I approve. :D

[humblesooner]

Most on here would consider me an old folk (just a few would not) at 52.
Been a Sooner fan since I was about 8. I don't remember that one.
I ain't against it. As said above, anything to get everyone together and making noise in the stadium.

[KantoSooner]

From the sound of it, it went out sometime between rumble seats and racoon coats.
The sort of thing that went well when plying a flapper with bathtub gin.

[badger]

:mad: This here is a tradition, which you all WILL learn and participate in. GOT IT?!

:D

Are you suggesting those are bad things ?! :eek:

[Widescreen]

Sounds a little too A&M-ish.

[badger]

Sounds a little too A&M-ish.

Nobody's asking you to

a) uncover
b) hump it
c) squeeze ol' army

If those three aren't part of the equation, it ain't aTm :D


whoooooooooooop! (tee do)

Hi rickety whoop-te-do, Boomer Sooner, Okla-U!

That is gangsta!

[budbarrybob]

what is the "hi rickety" part of that?
I'm actually for some other, more modern saying. Like "rah rah ree..." ;)

[KantoSooner]

Are you suggesting those are bad things ?! :eek:

Absolutely not! In fact, almost anytime I see a woman with a bob haircut and a form fitting short dress, I immediately get gin flavored moonshine and give it to her in a large martini glass.
It's a bit outre, but it's my style, man.

[Leroy Lizard]

Maybe if they sang it in guttural.

[SunnySooner]

Let's just add,
"We're gonna beat the hell outta you!" to the end, and it's perfect!! Modern, true, it even rhymes!!!!

[John Kochtoston]

This was attempted in the mid-90s. It's awful long. If brought back, it should be done half-and-half.

[GottaHavePride]

I'm in favor of bringing vuvuzelas into the stadium.

[StoopTroup]

As fun as it is to try to be different from the Class before you and I think it's honorable to recall and try to honor an old yell....I also think this is more effective considering what Bob Stoops has built on since coming to OU....

Just saying....

Harold Lloyd approves this message.

I still think that sounds like a part of the female anatomy.

True, but first, every stadium everywhere uses that. Or did 15 years ago.

And second, the only reason that happened at all is because it was end of the 2nd quarter, which means he Pride had already bailed out of the stands for halftime. They don't play tunes over the PA while the Pride is ready to play.

[Shakadoodoo]

I am down for whatever gets the fans and players hyped!

[Mississippi Sooner]

That's a pretty cool screencap of Harold Lloyd from The Freshman. You can't even see the prosthesis on his right hand.

Yes, I'm a silent movie geek. :O

Yeah, but he cut off the part of the photo showing Jobyna Ralston's ankles.

[KantoSooner]

ankles or cankles?

[Mississippi Sooner]

I don't think anyone ever accused Jobyna of having cankles. She was kinda skinny like a twig.

[SoonerJack]

Mississippi Sooner, my brother recommended that we show The Freshman to our oldest son before he headed off to college. He loved it.

Harold Lloyd was an amazing talent. He could pull off all those amazing stunts with, in effect, only a hand and a half. Also, he, like Chaplin, was one of the fortunate few to retain the rights to most of his movies. That's why there are still so many good copies of the movies those two men made.

In the mid nineties they tried to resserect the yell! That is funny!! LOL :D and a bit :O

By speaking to the people who are familiar with it, my estimation is that you would've had to have been attending games in the early-to-mid 60's (or before) to remember it. That would've been right around the time you became a fan, right?

[Fraggle145]
