Nebraska’s move a sour note for KU fight song LOLZ

[The Snork]

Who'd have figured:

For almost a century, the Kansas fight song has boasted about husking corn and listening to the Cornhuskers’ “wail.”

 

Come October, the classic standard “I’m A Jayhawk” will be revised to account for Nebraska’s move to the Big Ten next year and Colorado’s move to the Pac-10 next year or in 2012.

 

It’s common for college fight-song lyrics to call out a hated opponent. Harvard and Yale hammer each other in their battle cries. Navy leaves no doubt it wants to sink Army. California’s Golden Bear “growls” when he “hears the tread of lowly Stanford red.”

 

 

Kansas, on the other hand, mentions six foes from the old Big Eight—all but Iowa State—and is the only school with cause to tweak its fight song after this summer’s conference realignment.

 

Nebraska and Colorado’s songs don’t reference other schools. The same holds true for Utah, which is going to the Pac-10, and Mountain West-bound Boise State.

Now if you're like me ... you don't have the slightest idea what the Kansas fight song is ... something I suppose they'd play after every touchdown. No wonder I've never heard it.

 

Here it is or was:

 

Talk about the Sooners

The Cowboys and the Buffs,

Talk about the Tiger and his tail,

Talk about the Wildcats,

and those Cornhuskin' boys, But I'm

the bird to make 'em weep and wail.

 

CHORUS:

'Cause I'm a Jay, Jay,

Jay, Jay, Jayhawk,

Up at Lawrence on the Kaw

'Cause I'm a Jay, Jay,

Jay, Jay, Jayhawk,

With a sis-boom, hip hoorah.

Got a bill that's big enough

To twist the Tiger's tail

Husk some corn and listen

To the Cornhusker's wail-

'Cause I'm a Jay, Jay,

Jay, Jay, Jayhawk,

Riding on a Kansas gale.

Yawn. Sounds like something a worthless school would do to get someone to pay attention to them.

The irony here is, of course, that they hung more points on us in one game than any other team. Self-

I noticed that, too. I guess the only "consolation" in that game is that the team who holds the record is Kansas, not Texas Tech. It may be a tiny, tiny ray of sunshine, but it's something.

Yep. It was a combination of the best team they've had in over a decade combined with the worst team we've had in about four decades. A perfect storm.

Maybe we should be "classy" fans and write them a new fight song. I'm sure we could come up with a fitting song for them.

[rawhide]

KU where the boys are the fairest and the girls are the . . ... . is dey purple or is dey not; maybe something from Oh Brother, Where art thou . . ... fitting

Maybe there new fight song should be "God Bless America" and replace every time the word America is said with the word Texas.
