An alternate cheer would be better, but why use several words. The more words, the more garbled the chant and the less effective it is.

Why not just get everyone to yell "FUMBLE" the instant the kick receiver touches the ball?

I noted that. But just a thought:

James Carville, Clinton's lead campaign strategist, acted in the movie "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford", but I did not see a movie review posted on any DMC or other political site.

Sports are sports, and movies are movies.

I think yates is (correctly) implying that the "Berkley of the Plains" title, given to KU by Playboy several years back, is so sadly true. A liberal bastion, functioning at its "best".

Now, so there won't be any confusion, the following has nothing to do with yates comment.

When I attended KU, I actually walked down Mass many times with a handgun in a hip holster and nobody even blinked. Several downtown stores sold firearms and ammo and there was even a firearms dealer and repair shop on Mass, at about the 1100 block. Currently, the state of Kansas not only allows concealed carry, but is an "open carry" state. When I was there, many of the students kept firearms, of all types and calibers, in their dorm rooms. On my dorm wing alone, I'd estimate that at least 1/3 to 1/2 of the rooms had firearms. We used to carry them openly through the dorm lobbies to go our target shooting and hunting. Shooting rats at the Eudora dump in the evenings was a common pastime. (Yeah, and PETA can bite it). And gee whiz ... there was no gun violence on the campus and nobody even accidentally shot themselves.

Now, at KU, you can't own a child's pea-shooter without being labeled a potential assassin. Not even staff, faculty, or students that are legally licensed to carry a weapon can do so on campus.

So, while some of you "Berkley" types might think this is good, many of us think what's happened to our alma mater is sad ... very sad.

Finally, for those of you that will undoubtedly comment that this is political and isn't a sports site comment, you're so wrong. They are not called the shooting sports for nothing.

Success breeds loyalty. Failure brings on the fickle fans followed by unemployment.

As Jack Mitchell's star was fading, the students had a "Senior Day" cheer (do they still do that?) that went as follows:

"Give'em Hell Jack Mitchell, give'em Hell !"
"Give'em Hell Jack Mitchell, give'em Hell !"
"Oh Hell, give'em Jack Mitchell !!!"

And he went ...

That's not a double negative. A double negative makes a positive, like "I don't never watch ...".

My first semester KU room-mate was from Valdosta. He knew which school to attend.

FYI: Valdosta is the hometown of John Henry "DOC" Holiday, who also left Valdosta to spend time in Kansas.
