The Fanopticon Quick Reference to Instant Fan Put-Downs
Occasionally, you may not have time to craft a witty rejoinder to some other fan's biting comments about your team. Like a musician suddenly called to solo, you may need a memorized riff or two to fall back on while you gather your thoughts while you craft something truly withering.
So we thought it might be useful to invite comments on a list of instant barbs that might come in handy, say, when a carload of fans from a rival team zips by and hurls an opened beer can at your tailgate.
I'll start things off with a few examples. Then pony up your own. Collectively, I think we should have most Div. 1A schools tagged and bagged by nightfall.
You say: Go Trojans.
I say: O.J.
You say: Go Gators.
I say: Jean shorts.
You say: War Eagle.
I say: Cows.
You say: Go Boise State.
I say: Who??
Got it? I leave to you the pleasure of crafting the Tide's instant put-down. See you in the comments section.

A few cheap, base suggestions...
You say Bama, we say...
...Jim Crow?
...hookworm?
...probation?
...Mike Dubose?
..."It's rollin', baby!"?
...food stamps?
...ham rolls?
A hard target, for sure.
I'm pretty sure "hookworm" is Arkansas.
Otherwise, yeah probably. I'll never do a drive-by beer-can heave at your tailgate Orson Swindle!
Tennessee:
"What's Offense?"
"Spurrier's my daddy!"
"SEC's new red-headed stepchild"
"Nice touchback"
Florida: "31-3!"
Auburn: "Field goals: 1-6"
Stanford: "U.C. Davis"
Oklahoma: "Who??"
Nebraska: "Who??"
You say Brodie Croyle. I say why would a southern man name his newborn son after a Stanford quarterback ??
Notre Dame: "31, 31, 31"
UCLA: DUI!
UCLA or Florida State: Wave the handicap parking pass.
Texas: Chokelahoma!

You say "Go Vols"

"Go Spartans."
"Alert area couches! They are in grave danger!"
"Go JoePas!"
"We own... Penn State."
You say: "Go Gators."

Gainesville natives know, and avoid, said hippies.
You say: "Southern Miss!"
I say: "Brett Favre."
He beat Bama in '90 sans the Tide's Siran Stacy. Still, a p-i-m-p. Props.
You say: "War Eagle!"
I say: "Probation!"
You say: "BYU!"
I say: "Near beer!"
You say: "Gig 'em Aggies!"
I say: "Aggies wear jean shorts!"
Really -- my managing editor is an Aggie, and he rocks the jean shorts.
Go Noles!
"Ron Zook Field!"
(the first night the field at Doak was christened Bobby Bowden Field, they got beat by an already-fired Zook. We Gator fans stayed in Doak for an hour, waiting for the team and chanting 'Ron Zook Field')
On the matter of jean shorts: touche. But after Saturday, I might start to believe them as good luck.
You say: "Go Vols!"
I say: "go criminals!"
You say: "We Are Penn State"
I say: "What the hells a Nittany?"
You say: "War Eagle"
I say: "E I E I O"
You say: "Go Vols"
I say: "Yes. Orange is such a lovely color for convicts"
You say: "War Eagle"
I say: "John Deere"
You say: "Go Buckeyes
I say: "Maurice Clarett"
You say: "Gig 'Em!"
I say: "Keep him. We don't want em back"

by the way, most of these 'comebacks' are pretty lame
You say: "Go 'Canes"
I say: Najeh Davenport just did....right in your closet.
You say:War Eagle!

You say: Roll Tide!
I say: Damn Straight!
You Say: "Go Cal"

Keith: "You say: Geaux Tigers,
I say:Go Hurricanes!"
Ouch Keith. Ouch.
You say: "Go Buckeyes"
I say: "What are Buttguys?"
You say: "Boomer Sooner"
I say: ...actually, there really isn't any comeback I can make to better express the stupidity of that chant.
