I guess I -am- the only one who read about it. It was quite popular. Someone would actually sneak a chicken in for the ku game, hiding said chicken in a big winter coat(it's usually fairly cold out when ku comes to town.) Then release said chicken under/over the ku bench before gametime. And Saul's correct, chickens actually aren't that hard to keep calm or asleep, so long as you hold them a certain way(and can catch the &@#%er first.)
They do check people for the ku game however.
So, acceptable replacements since noone seems to be interested in being the official "Chicken Tosser" this year?
Two that i've heard -
The rubber chicken(Kst8r, good idea.) We would need multiple people to bring and throw these for it to be worth doing though, not just one person. Shower them with rubber chickens.
Pacifiers - This one for Mr. Rush to remind him that he has a little boy that he's not paying child support for. Dead beat dad part 2. When they introduce him, shower him with handfulls of pacifiers.
Edit: Damnit Azcat posted before I finished my post, so I guess someone else is more familiar with it than myself.
I'd really like to see a live chicken WITH the pacifiers. Blue and red chicken would be perfect. Surely there's a classless fan on this board that can do this, or maybe someone could contact a fraternity that's awesome enough to do this.
Edit 2: Damnit Sanchez just posted making my entire first paragraph completely worthless.
