No doubt. Pretty stupid to list something that has been a "tradition" for like 3 years.

How long has the Wabash Cannonball been with us?

How long has the Wabash Cannonball been with us?
Tradition since the fire in Nichols Hall burned all the band's other music in 1968 or 1969, I think. Band director had a copy of Wabash in his briefcase, so they started playing that at the next game.

Wow, is that how that all came about? I've never heard that story before. :ugh:

Everyone knows that familiar tune Wabash Cannonball. In fact, Wabash and K-State are almost synonymous. What many people do not know is how the song became an integral part of Wildcat athletics. In the fall of 1969 the department of music burnt down. Every piece of music in the building was destroyed. The only thing that was salvaged was what was in the band director’s brief case. That included a piece of music titled the Wabash Cannonball. With an upcoming football game and no music, that left only one thing to do. The band members played the song loud and often. A song that originally had no connection to KSU became a second fight song.

Thanks you for your reiteration of this matter.

Classless Willie through the years.
Willie the Wildcat
The Willie tradition began in 1947, and since then, his image and role have undergone several changes.
Adrea Simmons Andersen '55 played K-State's first mascot at the September 1947 football game against Oklahoma A&M. She dressed in a red-brown wildcat costume with black stripes and a tail.
Several decades before this, beginning as early as 1922, a real wildcat named Touchdown, supplied the mascot symbolism at games. And, from 1906 to 1909, Boscoe, a black Labrador, represented K-State at baseball and football games.
In the 1960s, Sigma Chi fraternity members played Willie. Later that decade, the mascot looked like Mickey Mouse, and K-State wanted a new image.
Jim Hagan '50, '66, '68, a sculptor and artist, created a newer, meaner-looking Willie. Hagan made two Willie heads out of coyote and wolf hair. The first head lasted from 1967 until 1980. The second lasted until 1993.
In 1993, the Kaw Valley Catbacker Club donated the fifth Willie head. The new head was rounder and made out of brown artificial fur.
Willie received a face-lift again in fall 1997.
This Willie head, still used today, has gray fur with two white stripes to resemble the PowerCat logo. The current head weighs five pounds and features an electronic cooling fan.
For more than 50 years, one tradition with Willie has remained the same: the identity of Willie is still kept a secret.

What year did Willie trade in his wussy fuzzy arms for his man arms? Apparently, most fans that complain about Willie, it is because of this. They're just jealous. :nahnah:

nbc fracked up. they aren't doing the HAKA, the haka would be of the Maori tradition of the Kiwi's which has been done since the 1900's(the did the first haka outside of new zealand in a test match in i believe 1917 when they toured england and beat every team they played(usually by shut out)) so saying the kid came up with it in his highschool is bullcrap.

How many knew who Willie was when they were in school?
I knew the Willie during my freshman year. He lived on my dorm floor.

Had a willie as a roomate, and his bro runs the jumbotron at BSFS and OOD, and little bro plays on the team. Family is very :kstatriot: :ksu: :excited:

Oh, I was being sarcastic alright. I've heard that damn story about as many times as I've heard the Wabash itself.

The answer is "no" to both questions. Baby Jay is always a girl.
