Interested in knowing some of the meanings behind certain chants? Head on over to our affiliate Slaughterhouse-19 BYB s page. They are in charge of game day chants and are posting messages explaining some of the meanings. Example below: Das Boot When we do it: Whenever our keeper Kristian Nicht kicks the ball after the other team knocks it out of bounds behind the net. How does it go: DAS-BOOT-DAS-BOOT-DAS-BOOT (repeat) Origin: First off, yes, we know this really means the boat in German. The old guys in our supporter group even remember the movie. (I saw it at the Drive In!) But there is also the famous scene (post below) from Beer Fest where there is a clever play on the phrase. In short, the chant is meant as a light-hearted nod to our keepers national heritage, his thunder foot, and the fact that we could figure out a way to make schadenfreude fit into iambic pentameter.
