On a side note, I drove through Kansas twice last year and saw a ton of billboards that said Rock Chalk Jay Hawk. WTF does that even mean?

The University of Kansas (http://www.ku.edu/about/traditions/chant/)

The Chant
KU's world famous Rock Chalk Chant evolved from a cheer that a chemistry professor, E.H.S. Bailey, created for the KU science club in 1886.

Bailey's version was "Rah, Rah, Jayhawk, KU" repeated three times. The rahs were later replaced by "Rock Chalk," a transposition of chalk rock, the name for the limestone outcropping found on Mount Oread, site of the Lawrence campus.

The cheer became known worldwide. Teddy Roosevelt pronounced it the greatest college chant he'd ever heard. Legend has it that troops used the chant when fighting in the Philippines in 1899, in the Boxer Rebellion in China, and in World War II. At the Olympic games in 1920, the King of Belgium asked for a typical American college yell. The assembled athletes agreed on KU's Rock Chalk and rendered it for His Majesty.

Mlee Sperry
This is my 89 year old Dad. He played for KU after WW II. He and his brother Kenneth Sperry were on the team together and played in the Orange Bowl. As you can see from his face, he loves KU and he loves football. It was a great day for him and our family.
