and in fact, I think we did it first, just like the newspapers and many other cheers, back in the 80's.  However, once we decided it was gay (like white suits and pastel t-shirts or jorts) we quit it.  ku, not so much.

I liked the mocking of ku's false, made up, poser "traditions"

Much like Pete's "History Awaits" tailgate.

I might be mistaken, but I think the band was playing Happy Trails.  The students then wave goodbye to the defeated team.

One arm means wave.  Two arms means wheat.  Everyone knows this.

speaking of lame traditions, i dont know if this is common knowledge, but according to some brochure ku sent me back when I was looking at colleges, one of their top 10 traditions is "holding up 4 fingers at the start of the 4th quarter"

That's to symbolize the number of fans they have left in the stadium at that point in the game.
