Hand sign

[Institutional Control]

So, when did KState start doing the hand sign? A squawk friend tried to tell me that it’s only been a few years and it was ripped off from Baylor. I’ll admit it wasn’t a thing when I was there in early 90s but I know it’s been a while.  A google search says about 2005. Does that sound about right?

I think i was told it started in/around the Ron Prince era.  Supposed to be a Wc (Wildcat?). But 2005-2007 sounds about right.

I think it's kinda neat, but pretty sure Arizona came up with it first so that makes it not real cool for us to use it.

I feel like it revved up after Prince left

[yoga-like_abana]

Feel like A&M did it forever ago for their “wrecking crew”. Which makes it even dorkier

What about the rocking back and forth during the Wabash?

Yeah, it was around then. I started with the band. They would do it with one of their drum deals, the one where they do the chant that sounds chop adjacent. They would make that hand sign while doing the "chop." Ironically enough, they still do that chop, but I'm not sure how many students make the WC while doing the chop.

And the KU guy is kinda right, the hand sign was definitely a by product of all the Texas hand signs.

[SkinnyBenny]

Correct. The band started it and the specific drum/vocal cadence thing you’re referencing is based on Immigrant Song, by Led Zeppelin.

The hand signal is a literal ripoff of the A&M Wrecking Crew hand sign they’ve been doing for years. It’s identical. It’s also very, very blowjobby because it’s always coupled with a WOOOO scream.

Used to hate it, no idgaf about it. I never do it, but it's whatever iyam.

The return of the  is truly great tho. As is having a defense utterly and absolutely worthy of it.

My little boy took it upon himself at the game to try to figure out how to do the Lunch Mob sign. I looked over and he was trying to work his little fingers into the sign and I teared up. #CircleOfLife

Certain members of the band were doing it as early as 2003. Didn't catch on wide until a few years later. No idea who patient zero is tho

I thought this thread was going to be about the very vulgar one Jason King made towards me in the OOD.

You thought that it was from this because it is, which thusly makes it...quite lame. There are countless images of it, but here are two:

To be fair A&M really doesn't have a need for that anymore.

I am in the camp that hand-signs are kind of dumb and infected the conference when the Texas teams joined.  They all had them.

It's incumbent on you people to irl PI the hand-sign'rs.

I never liked the hand sign, but our players do it all the time now. There’s no going back.

Yes, they did it first but very few people at K-State associated it with the wrecking crew then, and now there isn't a single student that does. No one knows what the hell that is.

[WillieWatanabe]

Tang and staff like it. I now like it

Guys, were old now. It doesn't matter what we like. Just what the players find dope/
