Hilton Noob Question
- Thread starter Didley
- Start date
My favorite thing was the gator chomp done at the beginning of the 2nd half back in the day.
Hilton in the '90s in the Big 8 was so much fun.
Just imagine if Twitter existed back then…tavern hoks would’ve been outraged that we used something they “created”
Hilarious? I guess our senses of humor are different.
If I were the opposing player, because fouling out is often followed by free throws, I'd sit down as the shooter is about to shoot the free throw. Either the students yell during their player's free throw, or they miss their moment to yell "sit down".
Edit: I see DarkStar beat me to the thought.
The five clap thing goes way back before Hilton to when the team played in the old Armory building on campus. Have no idea when it started but it has a long history.
I was done as a student but had Parquet tix for the Floyd and Eustachy eras and I don't remember it. I don't think it came along until at least the McDoormat era, when WE started to suck.
Ed was awesome. You knew it was a big game when he came out and did his bit on a unicycle. I was there (Kansas game??) the day the guy hit all 5. I think it only happened once.
Don't forget "Sit down Billy!" Tubbs was as hated as any of them. The Big 8 coaches, including Johnny, had a ton of umm, personality.
I loved Hamm's Beer song thing. Then it got watered down and eventually went away.
The band had some good ones at the end of blowouts. "It just doesn't matter!" to an opponent shooting ft's, or the "Start the Bus!" chant.
Yeah, that’s stupid, but there’s probably no stopping it.
They'll get over it. As @ImJustKCClone said, mightta/coulda been something said (100% chance) to Ejim, so turn-around is fair play as they say.
Too much math. Must save for engineering classes.
Like this Thursday?
The Hamm's Beer song was great! It really got the crowd going, but I think if fell victim to the PC police.
In addition to softball/baseball...
Soccer plays conference matches on Thu/Sun or Fri/Sun.
Tennis is normally Fri/Sun in league play.
Gymnastics usually has a Sunday conference dual in there somewhere.
Speaking of fouling out, can we get Rob to do a where are they now on the “sit down Niang” kid?
When did that go away? As a student I wasn't really sure what our fight song actually was between the "Hamm's" song, the "Don't Know the Words" song, and the actually fight song as they were all played regularly.
