Letter: But some of the players said they liked the chant

Wednesday, October 22, 2008

Many students who take the time, money and emotional involvement to attend the games love the chant.

Swearing, like drinking, is part of football. For less vulgar chants, watch other sports.

According to an article in The University Daily Kansan from Sept. 9, coach Mark Mangino can’t even hear it. The article also identified some players who like the chant.

This is the best chant, and it’s certainly better than anything proposed. The chant is the only football-only chant we have.

It’s just plain fun to scream at the top of your lungs “Rip his fucking head off!” To do it in public with other people while cheering on your favorite team is a unique experience.

The student section wants this chant after they work so much in and out of the classroom, take time to support the football team and pay a lot for it.

it's not football-only. just because it's said at football games does not make it a football chant, it is in no way relevant to football. and, unlike all the other songs and chants at KU sporting events, it's not relevant to KU either.
