"Rock Chalk Jayhawk"

Posted by Fritz Nelson, Apr 7, 2008 02:02 PM

It's the question of the NCAA tournament. Everywhere you turn, people are chanting "Rock Chalk Jayhawk" and nobody really knows what it means. We asked people all weekend, and we got as many answers as people we asked. Some talked about the bounty of limestone in Kansas, others about choo-choo trains and still others about mythical birds. Some even went zen on us . . . one person's response: "It's everything." Another's: "What isn't it?" After Monday night's impressive performance (yes, I know, I was wrong) the answer is easy: It means "winner."

In this video, we provide you with a highlight reel of our fun little survey around San Antonio, including a response from National Player of the Year candidate Michael Beasley from rival Kansas State. We also wondered where they were keeping these legendary Tigers in Memphis; it doesn't seem like the place where you'd find a Bengal or two wandering around. Maybe a pussycat . . .
