That has to be the worst chant i have ever heard.

Second worst, Auburn wins the stupid chant award.

The Rock Chalk Jayhawk chant is cool, but the "wheat wave" cracks me up.    :nutkick

Oh but in the field house (where the bball team plays) it is magical

I think it sounds pretty cool.  It's a hell of a lot better than zombie nation.

The Jayhawk basketball team doesn't need much magic.   I always looks forward to watching them play.

A much better chant than that thing they do at UCiF, where it's "Oh..", as in "Oh-fer"

It's a chant that you have to hear in person and in a large crowd to really appreciate.  It's a very eerie chant of sorts.  It's a chant that if you hear it during a game you know the Jayhawks have already won since it is only chanted in the closing minutes of victory.  A few years ago during basketball season a player from Colorado had said some things about KU's Basketball team in the paper and how he didn't like KU's students.  Well in the same tone as the rock chalk chant he was met with "Harrison..." over and over and he eventually fouled out with one of his worst performances ever and on the way out of the game he got into it with some KU fans because he couldn't handle it anymore. 

You might hear it this weekend from a limited number of KU fans but if you ever really want to hear it at it's best I suggest you make a visit to Allen Fieldhouse during Basketball season.

I remember hearing it on an ESPN game last year.  Sounded AWESOME through the surround sound, I can only think it's a "hair-standing-on-end" feeling in the building.  A really cool cheer guys.

That being said, we're going to hand you your collective Rock Chalk @$$'s Friday night!
