Well I think they are expecting real crowds now that we will have night games in the Big 12.

In 1966 The Astrodome had large crowds. It all sounded good. Continued to sound good for next 30 years although crowds diminished.
The Aggies sing “ Saw Varsity’s horns off” and shout “Gig ‘em Aggies”!
Not very inspiring, at least to my ears. Let’s stick with “Eat ‘em up”.

Eat them raw, it meant.

All, since raw and rah sound the same when you yell it, I can live with it. Just tell me you are yelling raw if I ever ask and we’re good.

They have some really weird stuff over there. A dog outranks their military people and they walk it around to class like it’s the president.
All Reville graves are facing Kyle Field so the deceased Revilles’ can see the scoreboard.
I wish I was making this up.

In the 1990’s I took my teenage son to Lubbock to see his sisters, who attended Tech. We went to football game, vs the Aggies.
I told him what the Aggie Yell Leaders would do, their songs, etc. He literally thought I was kidding.
3.5 hours later I wasn’t kidding and he could not believe it. Laughed at them and basically thought the Aggies were not very bright. Just incredible.
Zach Thomas played for Tech and basically beat them by himself.
“Cult” doesn’t come close to describing Aggie yells and behaviors at Football games. Not sure how to describe it.
But then they routinely get 100,000 to perform their antics. So there is that.

A lot of those scores were not good from an aggie standpoint.
I definitely miss the rah, rah, rah for Eat Em Up. And the running of the brass around the base of the stands playing to each section. It was usually in the 3rd or 4th quarters.

Eat’em Up, Eat’em Up , Rah, Rah, Rah! (One of, if not the only longstanding traditions outside of alma mater, fight dong and the paw, but not good enough for newbies … … … and people cry about UH not having tradition while wanting to change what of there is).
Eat’em Up, Eat’em Up, Go Cougars Go! (Lame)

It’s so they can bark when a corps turdz pulls his sword on a cheerleader.
I’ve never stopped using “Raw Raw Raw”. My son has said it that way his whole life (13 yrs) 
C’mon and join me. Maybe we can take it back.

I actually think that would sound kind of cool. Why did they change it?
Exactly as I stated. With the ever revolving door in the sthletics department, at the time (early 2000s) the newbies there to use UH as a stepping stone to another “better job at a real school” made the change and actually did a tutorial during a game to alter the 'Eat’em Up" cheer. “UH can’t possibly have any traditions, they’re UH.”
“Rah, Rah, Rah” harkens back to a very early time in football history. Not UH football history, but a time when crowds actually did concerted cheers like A&M still does. Most all other cheerleader groups are now just relics of the past, window dressing that looks the part of the pageantry with cheerleading contests being their most vital function. But I do get a function with cheerleaders from USC, UCLA, etc.

I prefer Go Coogs Go.
Rah rah rah sounded like I was a cheerleader.

Duh? Yeah, I’d hate for it to sound like an actual cheer.
“Go Cougars Go!”, sounds nothing like a cheer.
100% agree lol “rah rah rah” seems pretty wimpy. Personally prefer the “Go Coogs Go” but I’ve got heavy bias since that’s the only way I’ve ever done the chant
I think I’m team GCG here. Rah rah rah kinda sounds like something Mr Burns would yell as jimmy “swiftfoot” mcgillicutty drop-kicks the game winner to clinch an undefeated 5-0 season. Maybe we could throw in a couple bully bullies and a hip hip hurroo for ol’ U
