Did they expect anything less? Did the University really think a video before the game would put an end to the chant?

The best way to stop this is to come up with a new chant and get it up on the scoreboard during kickoffs. It doesn't have to be anything spectacular or original. How about 'Go KU stop Wildcats!" or Tigers, Huskers,...?

This is a perfect example of how many college students fail to understand the relationship between freedom and responsibility. No one can make the students stop using abusive language, but the students owe the courtesy to everyone to behave appropriately. No one is oppressing them. We are just asking the students to participate in society and adhere to some fundamental guidelines that have been established. The people engaged in this profanity probably do not hesitate to complain that their freedom is being trampled or censored. But, they also probably do not think of the families whose ability to bring their children to the game is also being infringed on.
Have some courtesy for the young children and families. I hope the students understand the world does not revolve around them and they do own respect to other people. It’s not their right to take it from others.

Why can't we do the same thing at the stadium that we do when an opponent's trying to shoot a free throw at Allen Fieldhouse? I'm thinking of the one where students are jumping up and down while going "oh" and then go 'AH!' when the ball's released. Imagine an entire student section at a football game doing this during kickoff... It's both distracting to the other team and it gets the crowd riled up listening to the thunder of thousands of feet hitting the ground.

Sounds like something I might be interested in.

Solution:

I propose that we show “300” on the jumbo-tron before each kickoff and show the scene where Leonidas screams:

“SPARTANS, WHAT IS YOUR PROFESSION???”

and then the whole crowd responds with:

“HA-OOH! HA-OOH! HA-OOH!"

That’ll get you jacked up right there. And if Mangino is serious about stopping the ripping heads off chant, he will let someone videotape him in a Spartan costume and scream "Jayhawks, what is your profession!?" for them to show on the Jumbo-tron.

Let's hope Michigan St. doesn't already do this.

Sorry, ehengel, looks like it's already taken:

Clever idea though! I say that a bunch of KU students submit a phrase or chant to the Kansan and we have a contest and then have something or someone to lead us during the kickoffs.
