I am in a class with Jared Sullinger and William Buford

[RDU Irish]

Agree with OMM here. That sounds nothing like anything that should count as a science credit for anyone. But I am not surprised that pOSU would do it (and expect it is too difficult to be approved in the SEC for use by athletes).

I go to KU. I hope we beat Sullinger...

Rock Chalk.

^^^ What the he!! does Rock Chalk even mean???............ On second thought I really don't care.

The Chant
KU's world famous Rock Chalk Chant evolved from a cheer that a chemistry professor, E.H.S. Bailey, created for the KU science club in 1886. Bailey's version was "Rah, Rah, Jayhawk, KU" repeated three times. The rahs were later replaced by "Rock Chalk," a transposition of chalk rock, the name for the limestone outcropping found on Mount Oread, site of the Lawrence campus.

The cheer became known worldwide. Teddy Roosevelt pronounced it the greatest college chant he'd ever heard. Legend has it that troops used the chant when fighting in the Philippines in 1899, in the Boxer Rebellion in China, and in World War II. At the Olympic games in 1920, the King of Belgium asked for a typical American college yell. The assembled athletes agreed on KU's Rock Chalk and rendered it for His Majesty.

I can't think of anything more annoying at times in college basketball........

That's because it happens when we're winning.

Thanks IrishJayhawk. Sooo what I get out of your post is that the KU students became lazy and decided to shorten the original chant version, got it!!
Honestly thanks, I really did wonder what Rock Chalk meant, just really didn't care enough to look it up.

This is like the third time I've seen you give this exact explanation. lol You're always at the ready to explain KU stuff.

I will always have respect for fans that are passionate about their team, as long as they're level headed and don't drink too much kool aid. Unfortunately most scUM and Southern Cal fans don't meet those specification.

I'm just honestly really excited for tommorow, Sullinger and Buford are the leaders of a team going to the final four and I always had a facination of meeting people that are on TV and are talked about frequently. If they honestly think that I root for tOSU over ND they have not read many of my posts. Aside from that its not like OSU and ND play eachother, Woody and OSU have been afraid to play ND. Why can't I simply like both? Also Clashmore is right, OSU is a great school besides for athletes.

Oh the irony.

 

[Me2SouthBend]

That class sounds awesome. Just please tell me that doesn't satisfy some sort of science credit at Ohio State.

See Adolphus Washington Quote:
“It’s the education part,” Washington continued. “I know all these schools athletically can offer me the same thing. The academic support at Ohio State, there is no way you can fail. Even if you’re giving minimal effort there is no way you can fail.”

Cut and paste, my friend.

I do like the school. I try not to be a kool aid drinker. To be totally honest, I thought we'd lose about two rounds ago. Never fathomed that we'd be UNC, even without their PG. Fun year.

Lol they didn't show up, aside from that the class does talk about sports and the mechanics involved to be successful in the sport. It isn't thad of a class and certainly pales in comparison to Math 050 at Ohio State.
