From the Kansas City Star’s J. Brady McCulloch :
Kansas coach Mark Mangino will make a personal plea to the KU students, encouraging them not to continue with the profane pre-kickoff chant at the Jayhawks™ home games, associate athletic director Jim Marchiony said.
The chant ” based off a line from the 1998 Adam Sandler comedy, œThe Waterboy ” states, œRip his (expletive) head off, referring to the opposing team™s kickoff return man.
KU will send a video of Mangino speaking to the student body over e-mail today, and the video will be replayed before the game on Saturday.
This latest attempt to stop the chant began last Friday when University Daily Kansan editor Matt Erickson called a meeting that included Marchiony, director of university relations Todd Cohen, student body president Adam McGonigle and KU linebacker Mike Rivera.
Because after all, there’s no excuse for profanity in collegiate athletics.
Hey Gerard,
Unfortunately you’ve shown recently with your comments that you’re not too bright. I don’t want you to feel tool bad though, only so many of us actually graduated from college and have a clue what the fuck we are talking about. I want you to know that when it comes to complete bullshit about obscure punk bands we will believe every fraudulent word you give us, but when it comes to sports, we will understand that you are a poser and have no clue. Remember that you are only a Mets fan because it was in style at the time you had to pick a baseball team to root for….Who is your team this year?
if anyone’s ever wondered to themselves, “what could you possibly do for entertainment on a Saturday night in Tigard, OR?”, we finally have an answer. Compose a nonsensical comment to CSTB under a post that has absolutely nothing to do with the allegation in question.
Indeed, only so many of us are fortunate enough to be college graduates, but I would hope a diploma from a respected institution such as this would lead to a more rewarding career than a mere “inside sales rep” at the vaunted Hampton Business Products.
Who is my baseball team this year? The New York Mets. Presumably, they’re in vogue as of this writing. But again, thanks for the history lesson. Though this is the first time in memory Doug Sisk or Herm Winningham have been accused of being stylish, hopefully it will not be the last.
