Question: What is Ay-Ziggy-Zoomba?

SDbronco · Post by **SDbronco** » Wed Sep 21, 2005 2:35 am

Several months ago a poster from here relayed the story of what Ay-Ziggy-Zomba is, and what it means on Broncocountry. Several BSU fans are wondering. I don't recall the details, so I didn't want to misrepresent your traditions etc.

It would indeed be an honor if one of you could take the time to come over andshare your history tradition correctly.

You will find the thread about it easily.

Thanks in advance.

TJ Rocket's idea about AZZ, as posted on broncocountry.com is posted as follows. I think the revisionists are afoot:

Says TJ Rocket... "It just so happens that a Rocket fan actually stumbled upon the truth behind ay ziggy zoomba. I know that there are "other" versions of what azz means, but so far RangerRocket's version is the most plausible in my opinion. According to Falcon fans, one of their alums picked up the chant from some South African troops serving in WWII, I guess its some variation of a Zulu war chant. Thats one "theory", now read RR's post below and you decide.

RangerRocket [quote]This changing of the facts regarding the true origins of "ay ziggy zoomba" and "sic sic" is what is today commonly called revisionist history. This "probably", "appears to be true", and "supposedly" stuff is what these BG'ers repeatedly use to cover up the real truth. Let me help clear this "BGSU legend" up once and for all.

The gentleman in question was known to take cold showers with those South African troops. One day he dropped a bar of soap and screamed, "ay ziggy zoomba, that's sic sic!!!", as he was penetrated from behind by a mad South African Boer.

"Ay Ziggy Zoomba" was later penned as part of the gentlemen's therapy to help relieve these painful memories. The cry "Sic Sic" (SICSIC) simply became the charter for promoting school spirit and goodwill among the students and faculty at BGSU. In other words, "Spread the Cheeks" became "Spread the Spirit" at BGSU.

And now you know the rest of the story........[quote/]

If you guys have anymore questions about our less than sophisticated neighbors to the south, just let me know."

THIS is Ay-Ziggy-Zoomba!

The official story behind Ay Ziggy Zoomba is that it was originally a Zulu war chant brought back from Africa by BGSU graduate, musician, and author, Gilbert Fox after a stint as a bombardier in the USAF. The song caught on around campus, as Fox was a music major and arranged it for band.

The song was also sung in the George Plimpton movie "Paper Lion" by BGSU graduate and Detroit Lion All-Pro, Mike Weger.

Having been in marching and athletic pep bands for my whole college career, when my dad and I started this website for BGSU fans, we decided upon Ay-Ziggy-Zoomba.com!!

I applaud RR's creativity. I know we hate them, but sometimes it's funny to hear how much they hate us.

(Sorry, as much as I love me some AZZ, it's some of Mr. Fox's other "works" that intrigue me....

Does "envy" mean contempt in Wood county or something?

No, but we commonly refer to a double order of bacon as a side order of Amstutz...
