Glad you asked...
KU's world famous Rock Chalk Chant evolved from a cheer that a chemistry professor, E.H.S. Bailey, created for the KU science club in 1886. Bailey's version was "Rah, Rah, Jayhawk, KU" repeated three times. The rahs were later replaced by "Rock Chalk," a transposition of chalk rock, the name for the limestone outcropping found on Mount Oread, site of the Lawrence campus. The cheer became known worldwide. Teddy Roosevelt pronounced it the greatest college chant he'd ever heard. Legend has it that troops used the chant when fighting in the Philippines in 1899, in the Boxer Rebellion in China, and in World War II. At the Olympic games in 1920, the King of Belgium asked for a typical American college yell. The assembled athletes agreed on KU's Rock Chalk and rendered it for His Majesty. |

You or some other feathered friend made it up, so no great leader said that. ku...a tradition of the 100th ranked program of All Time including a pathetic 6 bowl wins in 120 years.

Where did you see that? CFBdatawarehouse has Kansas 49th all time (Mizzouche 34). I'd like to see your link here. I suspect you're making shit up again.

Both programs are irrelevant in CFB history. KU has a better major bowl win and that's all that really matters. Who cares about regular season success? That's what losers claim. |
