So, "Texas" comes from táyshaʼ, the Caddoan word for "friends"; effectively, it was what the Caddoes called themselves.

Or, an alternative interpretation, it comes from teja, a Spanish word meaning "roof tile."

We need to knock off a few roof tiles

Is that a euphemism for killing Texans?????

This thread just took a dark turn...

Rivalries are what make college athletics one of a kind, and sometimes fanbases of opposing teams get caught up in the moment. That’s part of it.

Well, Kansas State is threatening to take away one of its traditions if the Wildcats’ student section doesn’t quit with the “extra curriculars.”



Wabash Cannonball has been played at Kansas State athletic events since 1968, but it is in jeopardy of being being nixed if the student section doesn’t stop chanting “F KU” as part of the song.


Now, this is hard habit to break as rivals around the country have found ways to work in chants like this to fight songs of every tune and melody. It’s just want fan bases do. However, losing something like the Wabash Cannonball is something that just can’t happen. This is one of the best traditions in the Big 12, and to see it go for something so petty is just something that shouldn’t happen.

I guess the K-State students have a choice to make. Stop chanting "F___ K U" or lose "Wabash Cannonball."

It's amazing what people will do in crowds (mobs) that they wouldn't dream of doing by themselves. Looting a shopping district, burning couches, and shouting obscenities at the tops of their lungs.

Student section at UT, in the middle of the UT fight song, yells "Give 'em hell.  Give 'em hell.  Make 'em eat shit."  That is, when they're not yelling, "Give 'em hell.  Give 'em hell.  ou sucks."

I chalk it up as typical teenage behavior and don't worry about it too much.  I did it when I was a student, and stopped doing it as an adult.

But even all the adults say, "Give 'em hell, give 'em hell, Go Horns Go" during that section.

For reference, the original lyrics to that section of the fight song, dating back to the early 1900s, were "Hail, Hail, The Gang's All Here."

assuming they've been modifying it as long as mizzou fans have turned m-i-z-z-o-u into m-i-z-eff-k-u i wonder what brought this on.  lots of fanbases do this as ff stated.

are we sure kst "students" are the only offenders *read - "they are def not the only offenders"*?

i would say that i don't approve of it to the extent that there are always impressionable minds at these games & its w.t. but at the same time legislating something like that is an exercise in futility.  they will find a way to tweak the "new" tradition they roll out in its place & lbh it'll probably be atrocious as most things like this that are born of modern day college marketing departments typically are such as

F bombs aren't appreciated by some folks

eat shit isn't great, but it's not an F bomb
