I was reading up on them this morning.
Their mascot is this funky red blob that looks like the McDonalds's Grimace.
Their fans wave red towels, and have "gang signs" with their towels. From Wiki:
The Red Towel
The red towel is famous at WKU. The origins of the towel come from Hilltopper basketball head coach Edgar Allen Diddle after getting upset that the team's towels were being stolen. He decided that all of the teams towels were to be red.
After the red towels were made, Diddle threw them to the rafters, beat them on the floor, chewed on them, waved, twisted, and even cried into them.
Here's "Towel Actions" and what they mean:
Tossed in the air = Pure climatic joy
Whirled overhead = Satisfaction and high expectation
Slapped violently on the floor = Extreme disappointment with players or referee
Twisted or braided =Outcome doubtful
Chewed =Outcome very doubtful
Used to shield the eyes=Horror or Shakesperian-like dismay
Rubbed on groin=Pure disgust
They have a statue of Edgar Allen Diddle outside their arena.
Beware the Diddle!!!
