I went on exchange to this wonderful university for a semester from Australia. I left almost 5 months ago, and I still miss this place like I left yesterday! Returning next year for a visit, because I loved KU so much. You just can't find school spirit like this anywhere else

As a Current Jayhawk, I must say, this is my FAVORITE part of going to any of our sporting events!! Gives me chills at basketball games cause allen fieldhouse really echos. KU revolves around basketball and it's amazing how many students come, good thing I've got season tickets!!(: RCJHKKU!!

By the way, the Rock Chalk Chant was meant to instill fear by being a stark contrast against the cacophony and craziness of a sporting event. It serves as a haunting "funeral song" for the losing team. Adding a "whoo" between verses breaks the haunting atmosphere and ruins the goosebump effect the chant is meant to create. Whooing originated from rival fans trying to break the chant up, and it should never have been adapted by the students. TL;DR: Don't "whoo."

1958 Jayhawk grad here. Always loved the Rock Chalk chant, though we did it slightly differently than what is done now. As for the Alma Mater hymn, my high school--College High School at Central Missouri State--used the same tune with similar words. The tune is widely used, and just sounds great as an Alma Mater hymn.

Dump the "whoo" -- it takes away the scary-as-all-hell aspect of the chant. Done correctly, it's the most intimidating team chant there ever was. I'm sure it helped win a lot of games. Sure gave me goosebumps every time I ever heard it from the floor of the fieldhouse.

I get the impression that KU is still steeped in tradition and love of school and state. This is how the program that I loved most all my life (UK) _used_ to be. Now, UK is a sterile, one-and-done NBA robot factory, with no heart and soul, at least, with not _nearly_ as much soul and heart as it used to have, much less tradition. How you gonna have players you grow to love, and who learn to love your state and heritage when they only stay a year or two? Because of this, I lost interest several years ago. I just may become a KU fan. After all, that's Adolph Rupp's alma mater, and the basketball program was founded by none other than Dr. James Naismith. I think I could enjoy being a Kansas fan.

Very impressive. The alma mater is Cornell's if I am not mistaken but none the less well done by KU. This song is the ultimate Collegiate song there is by far. Rock Chalk Chant is very haunting, I can imagine for opposing fans. I know it is to the Tech basketball team as I don't think we have ever played a game there closer than 20 points. :(
