Player flashing "W" with hands

I was at the game Saturday and noticed something right away of which I don't ever remember seeing before. I noticed it right when the tunnel walk was happening. Alot of players were coming out and flashing a "W" by putting thumbs together and extending index fingers. Niles Paul I saw do this a few times, even during the game after a catch. Does anyone have an idea what it means??

Depends on the context in which they were using it in. It might be an inside thing that a few players conjured up together during the spring.

Otherwise the popular meaning of it in the hip-hop world is "West Side" aka the West Coast. Rappers who are from the West Coast will throw up the "W" in their videos or when posing for pictures. Then there is also variations of it used in gang signs.

 
Could reference Western Kentucky, our first game, or could be UDub, who many see as our toughest non-conference game. I think the Huskies throw the Dub a lot. It just isn't shown because they've sucked so much in the last few years with last year being the exception.

The West side sign is made with one hand, by crossing the middle and ring fingers. Don't know what the players were doing on the field, but it wasn't that.

 
i just thought win? like, "we are going to get a 'W' after every game". but it would be cool if it was a "watch-out" to udub.

 
The "W" was suppoused to imply that "We're not going to lose a game in the 2010 football season including the Big XII Championship and bowl."

There are several variations of doing it in hip-hop and gang culture. For example, Snoop Dogg folds his third finger down and raises his pinky finger along with his index and middle finger. A few other rappers have thrown the W in the way that CN Red described above. Still another variation exists where you're "flipping the bird" with both hands and then touch both middle fingers together at a 90 degree angle with thumbs up and it creates a W. Then there is the simplest way of doing it where you just extend the first three fingers up while folding your pinky and thumb.

The "W" obviously is a reminder there is "won" second seperating them from a BCS game!!

Don't forget what the "N" on the helmet stands for....

LOL! You're right, saunders!

I'm getting old. I didn't see that right away. :facepalm:
