Do you guys have the ability to come up with anything on your own?
-
State's name: Kansas, copied from Arkansas. Both were inspired by the Kansa ethnic group of Indians. Arkansas just happened to be named 40 years earlier...
-
City name: Manhattan, copied from the famous New York City burrough. No idea why.
-
School colors: purple and gray, copied from the University of Central Arkansas. UCA has a purple and gray field. What does your field look like?
-
Hiring tendencies: LHC Bill Snyder Part II, since Ron Prince didn't work out you had to hire your former (then-retired) coach since no one else wanted to take over your shitty program.
-
Gameday experience: the "first down" chant, copied from Arkansas. That was invented by Arkansas broadcaster Craig O'Neill in the 90s. K-State and West Virginia are among the most famous to copy it, but at least WVU admits that they stole it from Arkansas.
-
Mascot: the Wildcat, only the most common nickname out there. How many other Razorbacks are there in the college ranks? That's what I thought.
