KU attempts to thwart obscene chant
People attending Saturday's University of Kansas football game have a new kickoff chant option. After nearly a full week of polling students, KU's student newspaper unveiled its winning slogan: "Kayyyyyyy (kick) Youuuuuuu!" That was the overwhelming selection among online voters at the University Daily Kansan's Web site Thursday. The new chant is meant to replace the "Rip his (expletive) head off" chant that persists in the student section during every KU kickoff. It beat its competitor, "Goooooo... Jayhawks!" by a final tally of 271 votes to just 61. Kansan editor Matt Erickson said the newspaper would promote the winner of the chant in the paper and on its Web site. Jim Marchiony, an athletics department spokesman, said his department had plans to place the winning chant on scoreboard ribbons on the north end of Memorial Stadium on Saturday if the message could be arranged in time. "It's been a student-led initiative," Marchiony said. "We're just watching." The process left students on campus feeling a little underwhelmed Thursday.

They ran a story like this 2 weeks ago, with a much meaner looking picture of Mangino. Looks like he's put on another 50 pounds since then....

The chant and slogan for the Wisconsin Badgers for decades was "Fu** 'em Bucky" (I have an original T-shirt somewhere) and we changed it too. No biggie. "Sh** gets stale" after awhile anyway. lol

If Tenn. wants a bigger and better coach than Phat Phil they might want to look at Mangino. He looks like he could fill anybodys pants.

Why does an article about a college chant turn into a ripping of an overweight coach? All you perfect people out there with no flaws at all seem to take pleasure in pointing out other people's flaws. I'll bet he gets up every morning hoping that he'll weight more than yesterday so his knees will hurt more and it will be harder for him to breathe. I suppose his ultimate goal is to just explode on the sidelines in a nationally televised game waring a Richard Simmons T shirt that says "Fat Sh*** happens". Grow up.

"Kaaaaaaaaaaaay (kick) Yoooooooooooooooooo" is the best chant a bunch of college-educated people could come up with? And 332 were motivated to vote? Wow, this is surely going to eliminate the obscene chant.
Have some originality, KU! Think of something better and different. Or, if you can't be original, at least steal something from British soccer. Those fans are actually creative with their singing.

I thought Charlie Weis was fat, he's got nothing on Mangino!
He should just start saying he's Hawaiian and start wearing a moo-moo!

no post but had to vent on the sorry play calling and game management of VT and Frank Beamer, this guy needs to go, with all the change in CFB this year it's time for an entire overhaul of the VT coaching staff starting with Beamer and ending with Bud Foster the offense has gone to producing baseball scores and the defense is a shell of it's former self. Bruce Smith where are you when we need you most?

Not a lot of chances for any of the chants today. Fans not listening to their coach fully deserve it.
