Everyone's start will look brutal in the Big12 this year. Look at ours..OSU,@ WVU,@ Baylor, KU
Were in a pretty tough stretch. OSU, @WVU, @BU, KU and later @OU, WVU, @OSU, @UT, BU
like you said, everyone's got it rough.
I only go to the games that are on weekends. My family in KC uses the tickets for weekday games. It's a three hour drive each way from my house.
Who are all these KU fans that say we don't boo calls? Heck yes we do. Doesn't EVERY fan base boo calls that they don't like or agree with in their home arena? Good grief. It's part of the fun of going to a game.
The answer is every KU fan. I always hear crap from KU fans about ISU. You notice it in Hilton because it seems that KU happens to get lots of calls on the road when it normally youd expect a home court advantage. ISU fans boo a lot. Every fan base boos. For some reason KU fans think because basketball was invented in Lawerence that they are all super educated on the sport and only boo when it is appropriate, which for KU there aren't normally as many calls to boo about. That is how people, at least people I know, perceive Kansas fans.
There we go! I knew we could get at least one pompous, arrogant lurker KU fan to post in here....
Since I am on the record as stating that KU fans boo and like to boo what we perceive to be bad calls or calls that prevent a big play from happening then you are officially incorrect in stating that EVERY KU fan says that they don't boo. My parents used out tickets last night and said that it got to the point where fans were booing fouls called on OSU players as well because they were sick of the constant stoppages of play. Don't take KU fans making fun of how much ISU fans boo as that we do not.
I had it explain to me that the Rock is the ball and way back when they used to score games with a chalk board. So when the Jayhawks shoot the Rock, use the Chalk. "Rock. Chalk. Jayhawk." I still absolutely Hate it, but I think that's where it came from.
May not like it but that's what makes it great in some ways. At least it's not comical like the mythical birdies.
According to the university, Kansas University's 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.
Um, no. That's not it at all. "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.

Every fan base boos. If you aren't booing, you aren't caring... but KSU and KU seem to stand out above everybody else.
I might be mistaken, but I believe it was old E.H.S. Bailey that was first to synthesize Lysergic acid diethylamide. Story goes he wanted to liven up the KU science club functions.
