We need a secret hand shake...or something

[SoapyCy]

There is already a secret handshake. I'm sorry you don't know it, but it's secret.

I've always thought the end part was a little odd once you're out of college.

Just point your pointer finger downwards and spin it like a cyclone. Subtle and that way you don't have to shout anything.

This is all I see now...

When I was back on campus for the Iowa game last fall I tried to get the upwards version of that to catch on. I'd say spinning your hand right next to your ear is slightly less subtle.

I thought Get Wiggy Wit It was the new Dilly Dilly.

All of the Texas schools have there hand gestures... hook 'em, gig 'em, guns up, etc.

Well, our I-State logo makes for a great hand gesture in itself...

Middle finger extended for the "I" (and "A") and the two on each side for the "ST" and "TE"...

Get Schwifty is the new Get Wiggy.

I just say "Go State" or "Go Clones" if I see someone wearing ISU gear in public. 100% of the time their ears perk up and they look around to see where they need to return the gesture

I do this all over the country and am almost always met with blank stares.

Speaking of "Dilly Dilly" I thought that was a positive thing. Why then is Cyclone Alley holding up giant letters spelling DILLY DILLY when an opposing player is shooting a free at the same end? Shouldn't they hold up "Pit of Misery" letters instead?

This is the ultimate proof that it is lame. By the time CAC picks up on an idea, you know its time has passed.

Disagree. I do this in airports all the time and almost always get a positive "insider" response from people in Iowa State gear.

I like it, but is it unique to our fanbase?

Are rocks and/or chalk unique to the state of Kansas?

I guess that we are just meeting different people then.

Apprently just listen for someone ordering a Busch Light. We found out in Memphis that means you are a Cyclone.

This. Do it when biking the Chain of Lakes all of the time. I count "Cyclones!" given and "Cyclones!" received.

Even not seeing a Cyclone fan insite, I've yelled CYCLONE! on the ramps at Minute Maid Park in Houston. About half of the time someone yells back POWER! Then there is just a bunch of awkward looks from people........ come to think of it, maybe we do need something

This is cool when Iowa State is playing, but not so cool when it is done just anywhere. It reminds me of the super-annoying "O-H" "I-O" call and reply that happens loudly whenever tOSU fans are around each other. Or the "Where's Waldo" perennial appearance of someone in Hokeye gear at any event. I prefer to keep it more personal when it isn't an event where Cyclone fans are supposed to be.

I've been stuck on SKOL since Sunday so that will have to do for a while.

I assume this would be the secret handshake?

Too late. Already being used by nearly every fan of the TOE.
