Hey, I'm working on a podcast episode for a class and my topic is vb traditions/cheers/atmospheres. If there are major/unique ones I missed from the list below, let me know please  Nebraska: roof cheer, ace man, band playing "heart breaker" after big wins/intense games (that's just one of my favorites haha) Wisconsin: student section sieve cheer (and the origin of that), they sing the school song after matches right? Minnesota: ? I was thinking about the ski-u-mah but could someone give me the story behind that? PSU: the chanting of P-S-U on each touch on offense and Let's-Go-State on defense; possibly the white out games Florida: set point yes-no chants, and of course gator chomp Texas: We-are-Texas chants, swim team Hawaii: I'd need a lot of help here, I watch Hawaii games but I'm usually half asleep lol USC/UCLA have any? Purdue: when do they do the train horn sound effect? Is that after blocks? |

This should be fun.
There is the silent set at Penn State in honor of Jonni Parker, they are still doing it, even after her having graduated.

I like Purdue's Mario Bros. coin sound effect when Chicoine does something good. That cheering section has a lot going on all the time, too.

Ski-u-mah is definitely a Minnesota cheer but it’s not really used for volleyball. Kind of surprises me that it’s never been chanted by the crowd during opposing team’s “bump-set-spike”.
Ski-u-mah is part of the Minnesota Rouser and other fight songs but the part of the rouser that the volleyball team has embraced in tradition is after winning a match they’ll huddle in the middle of their side of the court and sway back and forth during the M-I-N-N-E-S-O-T-A part at the end of the song. More impressive when the band is there and a packed Pav is chanting along, but they skip to the spelling part even at away games.

Ya, I couldn't really think of anything specifically that the Purdue or Illinois student sections did that would be considered a tradition (maybe IlliNOISE night), but they'll definitely be in the atmosphere discussion |

Sieve has hockey origins. Used to taunt an opposing goalie for letting your team score. Like water through a sieve.

Wisconsin: student section sieve cheer (and the origin of that), they sing the school song after matches right? Some clarification about "the school song": many schools have (at least) two "school songs", a "fight song" and an "alma mater". The fight song gets you fired up and the alma mater makes you nostalgic. "On, Wisconsin" is the well-known fight song. The song that the VB team line up near the student section to sing after a match is "Varsity", the UW alma mater. I know there are a few articles in various UW publications about the origins of "Varsity", both as a song and as a UW tradition. I could dig them up and post links if you want that much detail. (Note as well the comma in "On, Wisconsin". It is necessary to make the title say "go forward, Wisconsin", as opposed to saying "regarding Wisconsin...") |

And there's something with the William Tell Overture, too. |

The Illinois volleyball pep band and our "Spike Squad" student section have a few traditions they lead during every home game, including coordinated dances to the "William Tell Overture" and "Low Brass". And between the second and third sets, the band plays our school's "Three In One", wherein the home crowd sings along and claps in time. Similar to Wisconsin, our team gathers and sings our alma mater song "Hail to the Orange" with the student section and pep band after the match.
