When did we start saying "woo"?

[Insunseri]

This is kinda random, but Im watching some games from 97 and it sounds like only a few give it a "woo" while singing rocky top...it's much more faint than today.

[utvolpj]

it came around some time in the late 90's. Some guys that were in the band then explained it before

NCAA sanctioned us for being too balls-out manly 'Merican, so they ordered us to sissy it up a bit.

People who woo are the same people who snap and point finger guns when meeting new people.

The "curse of the woo" would make a fine documentary and help tissue sales in the area.

That little dufus kid Brick on the tv show The Middle now says WOOOO instead of whispering to himself. Hes a VFL!

I gotta admit, I don't really like the "woo". I can't really explain why, but I'm the same way with Rudolph the Red Nosed Raindeer. When people add the "like a light bulb/like monopoly/like george washington" trifecta to that song, I absolutely cringe...down to my very soul

worst thing from the 90's is definitely "smokey's on the prowl! arrrrrrraaarrrrrrrarrrrrr" that used to just torture us in the stands when they would play that over the speakers.

Not this again...

I actually liked that. It got the crowd going, at least.

That was awful.

I thought it was "sic em Smokey... " and then Smokey bayed/howled.

I liked that. Anything that encourages an inebriated me to howl is good in my book.

I started UT in Fall of '97. Was in the Pride of the Southland, and learned about the "woo" the first time in our first game (against texas tech if my memory recalls), so it had to be around before then, but not so prominent that a fan who was a non band member would have known about.

Not really, but you may continue to think that way.:hi:

 

[orangeluvr]

It began with the over indulgence in alcohol.hmy:

Exactly when and how the "woo" was added to the chorus of "Rocky Top" is a bit of a mystery. | wbir.com

People who don't woo are the same people that yell at skateboarders, and kids for being in their yard from behind a screen door.

lol!

 

[AF_VOL]

I don't woo, but I also don't hate on those that do. Sometimes when not everyone in the stadium can here the band playing Rocky Top due to celebrating, you can still hear the first woo and that seems to get everyone synched up when singing it.

The "WOO" is the ghey...

There is no "WOO" in Rocky Top...

And any male who does it, or fights to do it...

Is just a small step away from "voicing Elmo"...

"Know what I mean, Vern??!!"
