Who Dey origin explained How Bengals cha

The Cincinnati Bengals meet the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC wild card round Sunday, meaning Bengals fans will be asking the same-old question to anybody within shouting distance on Sunday.”Who Dey?”What does Mark Giordano Women Jersey that even mean? It’s a Cincinnati tradition and part of a chant that breaks out after the Bengals score touchdowns at home game at Paul Brown Stadium. The origins of the chant date back to the 1980s, and a local beer company is involved.Who wants to know more about “Who Dey?” Here is a closer look: When Cincinnati scores touchdowns at home games, the team fight song “The Bengals Growl” fight song plays.In between choruses and at the closing, Cincinnati fans chant the full question in unison: Ken Anderson was the quarterback for the Cincinnati Bengals during the 1981 season. The Bengals finished 12-4 in the regular season. Anderson told Sporting News .”We were the No. 1 seed and so we had a bye week and had both playoff games at home,” Anderson told SN. “It was the old Riverfront Stadium, and that’s when the ‘Who Dey?’ chant started. That’s when people Haydn Fleury Men Jersey started wearing the orange-and-black wigs and painting their faces. The banners showed up at the stadium. It was electrifying.”The Bengals lost 26-21 to Super Bowl 16, but seven years later the chant fired up again with a new wrinkle. In 1988, the Bengals again finished 12-4 with quarterback Boomer Esiason. That coincided with the release of rock band Joonas Donskoi Men Jersey Guns N’ Roses hit single which also has become a staple at Bengals’ home games at the old Riverfront Stadium.Cincinnati did not lose a home game in the 1988 season. The 49ers beat the Bengals 20-16 in Super Bowl 23, but fans still . The team mascot is named Who Dey.Yeah, yeah, but what about the beer? The most-popular origin story involves a Cincinnati beer from the Hudepohl Brewing Company. For what it’s worth, those commercials from the 1980s are fantastic:Beer vendors at the old Riverfront Stadium would shout “Hudy!” to sell to fans, and that made a natural transition to “Who Dey?” in the stands.Hudepohl Beers released last week.What about the rest of the chant? , “A popular television commercial for Red Frazier Ford of Cincinnati, which was going out of busine s at the time, featured a similar boast: ‘Who’s going to give you a better deal than Red Frazier nobody!'” claims Vince Dunn Men Jersey to have popularized the chant. City Beat reports, “Some credit (WEBN-FM) with popularizing the full Who Dey anthem after WEBN Program Director Denton Marr grabbed some employees and recorded a version of it.”So a winning football team, beer and a car commercial or radio station was the formula for the “Who Dey?” chant. Or did the Bengals just steal it from the Saints? , “the ‘Who Dat’ phrase has roots in vernacular poetry of the 19th century and was popularized by Black entertainers.” The “Who Dey?” chant would be in the same vein, but it’s Yanni Gourde Kids Jersey created a point of contention with New Orleans Saints fan.The (Baton Rouge, La.) Advocate in an editorial on Jan. 25: “‘Who dey, who dey, who dey think gonna beat dem Bengals?’ sounds like a cheap knock-off of our more clever and grammatically correct Who Dat cheer.”Did the Bengals have that cheer first? Probably not, but both states can share those chants like they share Joe Burrow, who won a national championship at LSU and led the Bengals to Super Bowl LVI last season.It’s safe to say that is universal in Cincinnati. The Bengals team used that chant in the postgame team huddle after the AFC championship victory against Kansas City last season.
