When the O Zone was created, assistant coach and former player John Rhodes told some of the members about how cool it was. Dan Lowe took it and ran with it, and it's been a mainstay of Ohio basketball Back to Top DayvidGallagher General User Member Since: 7/28/2010 Location: Houston, TX Post Count: 206 Status: Offline     RE: Ranking of basketball chants    Posted: 1/29/2013 10:02:30 AM  Bobcats_828 wrote: Ohio has the 5th best chant The article states in "no particular order" “The thing that gets lost in the deal is we’re Ohio University.

I've been attending games since 1977 and I don't remember the chant being used until the Ozone started it.

I went there with Luckett and Huggy Bear and don't remember it but there's a lot I don't remember - it was the '70's.  Back to Top Pataskala General User Member Since: 7/8/2010 Location: At least six feet away from anybody else Post Count: 9,365 Status: Offline     RE: Ranking of basketball chants    Posted: 1/29/2013 12:00:50 PM  GroverBall wrote: I'm fuzzy on the history of the winning team - losing team chant.  We did this chant at Athens High School, led by the unofficial "hoop heads," back in the early 80s.  It's certainly possible the HS stole it from OU but I don't remember OU doing it until more recently.  Same goes for the "Munch Munch Munch the Ref's Out to Lunch" chant.  The link says OU claims they "invented it."  This I highly doubt. Munch, Munch dates back to at least 1970-71.  The band, of course, led it. We will get by. We will get by. We will get by. We will survive.

Never heard this before. Do know that at the college level, it started on the West coast in the 80's, some give UCLA credit. Became popular all over the country for a time including OHIO, then became worn out and schools moved on, including OHIO. As Jeff mentioned above, John Rhodes resurrected it when he became a coach here. It was popular when he played for Nee.

Yes, I was there complete with free pizza.  It wasn't just Rhodes telling a few of the Ozone members, it was Rhodes holding a microphone and addressing the entire Ozone.

If you remember them you probebly werent there as the say ing goes. Good thing the players on the floor remember it. I checked with Paul Baron . He also remembers the chant. never argue with idiots, they bring you down to their level and beat you with experience. Winter comes and asks how you spent your summer.....

I was there from September, 1978 to December, 1984 and don't remember it either.  Only missed one home game (had mono), usually sitting where the Ozone sits now.  Not saying it didn't happen, just don't remember it.  Rhodes was a freshman when I left so my guess is if he remembers it it must have come about in 84-85 or 85-86.

This thread has become confusing as to which chant each post is referencing to - But I remember "Munch, munch...." at high school games very early 70's, and certainly in the Convo 77'ish and onward.
