The University Daily Kansan's effort to bring a new kickoff chant to Memorial Stadium succeeded Saturday, but the effort to rid the old obscene chant failed.
The newspaper polled students on which new proposed chant they liked best, and the winner was: "Kayyyyyy (kick) Youuuuuuu!" Some students executed the chant, which triggered a roar of approval from other sections of the stands. Yet, a large portion of the students stayed with the old chant, "Rip his (expletive) head off!," which was ripped off from the Adam Sandler movie "The Waterboy."

Considering they've had victories while using this chant at home, your argument makes no sense, jkilgore.

Perhaps Benedictine Monks could be recruited to help shape the chant...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MbDqc...

Karma reigns. JW staff, keep a running count of how many games in a row we lose at home while the obscene chant is in effect. Of course, we know better, that games aren't decided by chants, but it would be something metaphysical for White Owl/philosophy students/and us leftists (me included) to ruminate over while QBs come in here and ring up our secondary like they were cardboard cutouts. When the chant stops, our dbacks find their legs again, and we win.
