9. Minnesota’s Ski-U-Mah chant. First, know how to say it: SKY-YOU-MAH. Easy, right? P.J. Fleck had it mastered minutes after taking the job. There are a lot of chants across the college football landscape. But this is the best. It dates to 1884, when two Minnesota rugby players wanted to think of a fitting team yell. Years earlier, one heard a Native American yell “Ski-oo!” after a victorious canoe race. The rugby players added “Mah” to represent the University of Minnesota. A tradition was born.
