So I know of what I speak when I say Rock, Chalk, Jayhawk is way lame.
Here’s the freaky part, it comes because an English professor at Kansas University thought the school song could be changed from “Rah, Rah, Jayhawk” to “Rock Chalk Jayhawk.”

I SO don’t get the KU chant either?! As a grad of their primo enemy, I am suppose I am to be on the defense, but seriously… retarded.
@Eve: They have so many primo enemies. Welcome! New here? Or just delurked? At any rate, have fun.
Oh, don’t forget when we lived in Ft. Branch, IN and the chant was (against us) “Snap those twigs”! They were called the Twigs at one time!
