"Let's Go Mountaineers!" — The Chant That Unites West Virginia

At West Virginia University (WVU), few traditions stir more pride and passion than the iconic chant: "Let's Go!" "Mountaineers!" It's a rallying cry that echoes through Milan Puskar Stadium, WVU Coliseum, and wherever Mountaineer fans gather across the country. Simple yet powerful, it captures the spirit of West Virginia — fierce loyalty, rugged determination, and a bond that transcends generations.

The chant typically begins with one side of the stadium shouting "Let's Go!" while the other side answers with a thunderous "Mountaineers!" Back and forth it goes, growing louder with each round, fueling the team and electrifying the crowd. It's more than just words — it's a symbol of unity, pride, and the deep love that fans, students, and alumni hold for WVU.

No matter where Mountaineers travel, the chant follows. From bowl games to basketball tournaments, from small-town watch parties to major national events, those three words instantly create a sense of home and belonging. It's a reminder: once a Mountaineer, always a Mountaineer.

Whether it’s the beginning of a big game or a spontaneous moment in a local bar, "Let's Go Mountaineers!" is more than a cheer — it's a heartbeat.

Let's Go!
Mountaineers!
