Do they still try piping in Muse to drown out the "you suck"? I was always bummed by that. I always liked the stone cold silence in between the five solitary claps.
That tradition pre-dates Cyclone Alley by quite a bit. Based on how established it was my freshman year (shortly after students moved in via covered wagon), I’m confident in saying it goes back at least to the Floyd era.
Things I miss....
"Hi Everybody!" - " Hi Ed!"
"Sit down Norm!"
"Sit down Roy!"
"Hi Everybody!" - " Hi Ed!"
"Sit down Norm!"
"Sit down Roy!"
I’ll take Steve Stipanovich for $200 Alex.
Any old timers here? I had an old timer (school in the late 60s/early 70s) said the 5 claps came from the wrestling program somehow. Like if the opposing wrestler scored points or won their match they would clap politely 5 times. Seemed like they didn't have to do it much at the time.
I could be dead wrong. Just what I vaguely remembered.

And of course ...Beennnsssoonnn Mootttooorrrss!
Really miss Ed, he was the best.
Pretty sure he was referring to Holgerson...Dana House always had the best seats reserved back in the old Armory days.
Still the best seats I've ever had at an ISU game. Two rows behind the opposing bench.
I still remember the ISU student who won 25 yards (or some number don't remember the exact amount) of concrete in the shoot 5 for 5. That's something every college student can use.
Yeah, I'm surprised that didn't end up on the front door of Beardshear. Back in the day when everyone had to stand in endless Beardshear lines to register for their classes it was the most hated place on campus.
I started at ISU in first half of the Orr era. The tradition then was just the claps and dead silence before and after. It had to be eerie for the visiting players.
If you're struggling with the five claps during introductions, not even going to touch the pep band during free throws.
