While last night was electric and full of cathardic energy, one thing was VERY disturbing. The F--- KU chant throughout the night caught me off guard. Granted, I am 50 years old. But that was simply something that I never thought I would see.

We used to use my in-laws tickets to go to KU games (as they are close to where we live). At one point we simply could not go any longer when the students started chanting foul language before every kick off. I took great solice in understanding that, although students are always on the edge with enthusiasm, K State's students would never go that far.

I completely understand the enthusiasm. I get the generation thing. But, for what its worth, my wife had to leave the collisium before the end of the game because of the language, and I followed soon after.

I sincerely hope that this was an isolated thing. I hope our young people can find better ways to support our colors.

My mom probably feels the exact same way.

Suppose the next time we have the privlidge of having a 5 star recruit & his family attend the game on an official recruiting visit. He is an even BETTER shooter than Mike Beasley was. It comes down to only us & KU on his short list to committ to. His mom is SO embarrased having her much younger children have to endure the loud F_ _ _ KU chant that the much hearlded recruit committs to KU instead because, as his mom would later say, during their official visit @ Allen the KU studenta NEVER chanted F_ _ _ K- STATE at any time during their K-State game. OK then do you REALLY want to risk loosing ANY valuable recruit over the F KU chant. Is such a chant REALLY so important to you that you are alright risking loosing recruiting committments over it. Agree? Howabout STOMP KU STOMP KU instead next time.

The cheer made me laugh, and then it made me feel bad. I don't want to be a Nancy, but yeah, we're wittier than that chant. Did not like.

If I remember correctly, Currie sent out an email to all of the students about "being classy" a year or two ago. Perhaps that idea simply needs to be refreshed in the student's minds. I assume that email was sent from Currie because alumni sent him angry emails. While its pretty

to send Currie an email, I think it might be the best way to change the way things are.

I'd be more worried about a child learning a new word than anything else. Foul languaged children are no longer adorable. Adorable children participate in little cat slam jam. The students love little cat slam jam.

Insto facto: If the students don't stop cussing, little cat slam jam shall cease to exist. NO ONE WANTS THAT!

So, skinny benny, which site did you take this from?

I agree that it makes our fanbase look bad. I remember that I used to love the Michael Jordan space jam song where everyone would stand up and pump their fists saying, "K-S-U Wildcats". Well, then students last year had to say "Mother Fuc*in" in between "K-S-U" and "Wildcats". Now we don't even do that chant anymore and it saddens me. I feel like maybe some of my fellow students are immature

, but it really needs to stop. Pretty soon all we are gonna have is the Wabash and the fight song.

It's the simplest, most beautiful chant known to man

EMAWesome · « **Reply #12 on:** January 23, 2013, 01:10:07 PM »

eff is just a word.

If you, or your wife or anybody else chooses to give that word, or ANY word enough power to make you leave an area to avoid hearing it, you have the problem, not the one saying a WORD.

just sayin'

I love this part of these posts. I can just imagine some fat 50 year old in the lobby crying hysterically cause she was forced to hear "eff" 5 or 6 times. And then her dimwit husband with his arm around her, "It'll be ok hunny, we'll go to church tomorrow to make up for it"

Not using words that offend some people en masse with television cameras looking on, is polite. I don't say "eff" out loud when there are children or older people around, because I don't want to offend. For the same reason, I no longer use the word "Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!)." Why offend someone for no reason? Just to be edgy?

The English language is full of so many wonderful words and phrases. Why resort to using ones that are offensive? (Yep, I'm tucking in my shirt.)
