For ever the chant has been L-U, L-U slow and methodical ......now we are hearing LUC at a rapid pace.....Is there room for two chants?

drop the LUC. Just do LU....LU

I don't like how LUC sounds.

I only like th use of LUC when we're playing one of the 3 letter schools (SIU, ISU, UNI). Otherwise, it's LU.

I noticed that the LUC chant really started to pick up in volleyball first, and has since trickled into the basketball world. It made sense for volleyball since Lindenwood and Lewis are both "LU" and we play them 4-6 times a year. I prefer LU, but understand that occasionally you need an LUC chant.

It's nice to know I am not alone. A number of us sitting in our area discussed the LUC v LU chant. I much prefer LU for "The Loyola University."

Glad to read this thread. I remarked during Sunday's game that I don't care for the L-U-C chant.
My vote is for L-U, and an example of how it should/could sound may be borrowed from the Sooners.
Go back and listen to the 4th quarter of the recent Rose Bowl, and how the Sooners crowd carried O-U.

At least when they thought they were going to win that game.

I'm not sure how it sounded at the end of OT.

It also works better for interaction between the students and other fans on opposite sides of the arena. Call and response starting with the students L ... other side U.

But the best cheer is Donald Ingram's Loyola! Loyola! Loyola! Loyola! Aye! Aye! Aye! Aye!

So, Hamiltons was 90% students and 10 % us old farts....looking for change we had dropped 40 years ago....the new kids love and use the L-U-C chant.....at some point we just shrugged our shoulders and and LUCed....all the way to the ELITE EIGHT BABY !!!!!!!

I love the timbre that is lately coming on !! Either one is GREAT !! Now then I propose when writing or talking about our school we borrow from my area and refer to us as THE LUC !!! Just funnin' a tad !!
