Speaking of entry songs...
Why don't we include "Home on the Range" in our pre-game ceremony? We carry the Kansas flag, we're the Big 12 member school in the state that remembers that it IS in the state of Kansas and embraces it, why don't we sing our state song? It can feel a bit corny at times, but I think 50k linking arms and singing it would be awesome. Show some state pride!
Disscus amongst yourselves...

Personally I like the idea. I grew up with this song as a boy, and it should continue to be taught in Kansas grade schools. If you love the state you live in you ought to show it & let others outside the state there's nothing wrong with being a Kansan. Oklahoma and Texas show their state pride by singing their state songs. We could and should do the same.

I too love "Home on the Range" and think it would be a great addition. I believe though that the reasoning behind NOT playing it is that we never really have. Playing "Home on the Range" is a huge KU tradition after football games and during pregame. As far as I can tell KSU has never played it, and just leaves it up to KU.

If you need a Barbershop Chorus to sing the song (Home on the Range) LIVE, I could possibly get the Tumbleweed Chorus to sing it for a game. We sing a version that is absolutely beautiful. Could even sing the Star Spangled Banner live too.
I used to LOVE being a part of the Mens Glee Club while in school at KSU. And I will never forget singing for Alumni Events and the 40, 50, 60 yr alumni groups would stand and tear up when we'd sing our Fight Song and our Alma Mater.
I LOVE K-STATE! GO CATS! EMAW!

Of course the non-Native Kansans will be mocking the thread.

They only mock what they don't understand. (i.e. they are ignorant!)

That would be perfect for the KU game, but the song itself should become more of a tradition at all home games IMO. It doesn't necessarily have to be the entry song. Before the Star Spangled Banner or during halftime.
Kansas turned 150 last year. Natives should be proud of our heritage:
