My 6 year old came home singing this, which he picked up at school. I guess theres a clapping game that goes with it. I enjoyed the regional variations in the reddit thread.

I wonder if you guys have encountered any similar spoken word things (or other things) that varied greatly by region?
@wissox I think OU has had its head up in the clouds since the Ohio State victory, they had Baylor down bye 3 touchdowns and let them come back, then blew a 2 touchdown lead Saturday at home to ISU.

Looks like you will find that many of us share your thoughts on rap music. I have a number of friends that are into music and in the music business and just about all of them consider rap a form of expression but not necessarily music; frankly, I don’t know what to call it.
What I find troubling is hearing kids repeating rap lyrics blindly and not really paying attention to what they say. I have asked many kids in the past if they really have given a thought to the lyrics and once they do they are shocked by what they have been parroting. In many ways a form of subliminal message that desensitizes kids. Definitely well beyond what my generation would consider acceptable. I am not saying that all rap is extreme. I believe Will Smith was a rapper , once upon a time, that was relatively tame by rap mainstream standards and I am sure there are other but seems like the great majority are not.
Just my personal opinion and do not expect others to share my opinion.
The contract that #%€^*# Zenger signed with Time Warner gives it exclusive rights to several men’s basketball and football games. Women’s basketball and volleyball games have also been blacked out; in other words, every sport worth watching has been affected. Can’t think of any other AD that has done more to alienate fans than Zenger…and the worst part is the fans most affected are in Kansas and the KC Metro area which had the largest concentration of KU alumni in the country.
@jayballer54 our non conference SOS is really good, we gave away a win at Santa Clara but we have a solid team. Just need to put everything together with the new faces on floor.
Update: Fifteen is now Tropical Storm Maria. The newest track shows it becoming a hurricane into the Virgin Islands and then a major hurricane when it hits PR on Wednesday. Any hurricane with that trajectory and strength could go on to the Bahamas and Florida or East Coast.
Update: A number of spaghetti models show Maria spinning off into the Atlantic to the East of the Bahamas. They said that about Irma, too, IIRC.
While being blessed to be a KU fan any time, no matter when, what a GREAT TIME it is being a KU fan right now for sure.
As has been mentioned, Our Basketball as we all know is one of the true blue bloods of the sport and has been for quite sometime now, Our Soccer team doing well the last couple of years - -starting off great this year at 5-1 and just got through beating the # 7 ranked Soccer team in the Nation USC - -& Our ladies Volleyball team rollin right along ranked # 7 in the Nation and like 7-0 looks like another great season on the way - - - just got through beating # 13 ranked Kentucky last night -swept them Our Men & Women’s Track teams have had pretty decent success lately.
Oh and ummm how about a game of Badminton anyone? - -Or twiddly winks? - -We at starting to own Kentucky in WHATEVER we play them in, - - We beat them with our Basketball - We beat them here at Allen - - -We beat them at the so Called unbeatable arena with their awesome fans - - -Now we are Beating their ass in Volleyball - - what’s next? - - -Plus I see better things coming for our Football team - -Ahhhh yes, life is good, with the Crimson & Blue - -this pleases me - -this pleases me very much lol & umm ya as always - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
On a related note, #9 KU plays #13 UK in women’s volleyball at 1:00 PM today. The game will be on ESPN3, but since it is in Lawrence it will be likely be blacked out in Kansas thanks to Zenger’s stupid deal…
F Nebraska and their wonderful fans (@wissox not included in that statement) I’d love to find the wonderful nu fan who sucker punched me after Nebraska beat ku in Lawrence. I think it’d be fun to visit him at his job in McDonald’s.
@Crimsonorblue22 I like how the article talks about how the new free tuition program is like the one at Harvard. Yep, that is probably about the only comparable school.
@JayHawkFanToo I wouldn’t mind if the Big10 set the pace for these large conferences and went to a true round robin. That’d be 24 games. Nothing wrong with that in my view. It wouldn’t work for football of course, but they could play more than the current 9 that they’re playing this season.

I heard traffic was bad on turnpike, 3 miles in 40 mins s of emporia.
I was following the roads all day around the country and did not see too much eclips traffic. But a few hours later, you could see where the path of totality had been:
Those were some 80 to 120 mile heavy zones!
