[Bass Team Tackle]

Less than 5 yrs to game time. heading out to meet with my accountant and then heading home where the chili is simmering and the is waiting. ROCK CHALK JAYHAWK!!!

[Jiggernaut]

Can someone explain what the heck Rock Chalk Jayhawk means? I have asked many diehard KU fans this and have still never heard a good answer.

I can't wait for the game either.

It was a chant that started from a rock that was used to build homes in Lawrence called "Chalk Rock"...I saw the documentary on it a couple months ago...the owner of the home is the one who invited the chant...I don't remember all the detail.

If that is really true, thanks for the trivia info. That's awesome if I can now actually educate some KU fans about their own chant.

If you really must know I'll tell ya. Back in the day an English Professor at KU suggested it to replace the Rah Rah cheer. Why? Because Rock Chalk ryhmes with Jayhawk. Now you know! Your welcome! I looked it up years ago when I was stationed at Riley. I didn't get it either. Could be an urban legend.

I thought Cliff Claven was cool. Brad, that conflicts a little with the other response, so which one is really the truth???

[Jiggernaut]

A professor named Bailey?? What are the chances??

Thanks for the link. Now we finally know. I can't believe it's that old.

[Beetle]

What I wan't to know is this. Does KU REALLY consider KSU their rivals? Before I moved to Kansas I always thought of Mizzou as KU's rival.

[bigfishingstud]

who the He// is Mizzou

[Jiggernaut]

It's hard to call something so one sided a rivalry. If KSU could win one once in a while, then it should spark an intense rivalry. For now the only rivalry is the fact that it's an in state showdown.

[Beetle]

The rivalry with Mizzou stems back from the Lawrence Massacre back in the mid 1800's more than anything else from what I understand.
