There is an inspirational song called I Believe. Some of the words in the popular version of the song were changed from the original version which is widely thought to have originated at K. S. U.

The K. S. U. original version follows; sing along if you like.........................

"I Believe"

I believe for every drop of rain that falls

A pot plant grows,

I believe that somewhere in the darkest night

A tie-dyed bong glows,

I believe for everyone who smokes some hash,

Someone will come in case they crash,

I believe, I believe.

I believe above the storm the smallest joint

Will still stay lit,

I believe that everyone in my hippie throng

Knows grass is ligit,

Every time I make another ganja buy,

Or touch some weed, or I get high,

Then I know why,

I believe.

I'm less concerned with who started it than with how we can stop it. It's getting on my nerves, now that EVERYONE wants to do it.

Unfortunately almost all of the Rowdies chants are taken from other schools. My least favorite is easily "You can't do that", since I've heard it at about 99% of the college and lower level basketball games I've been to.

yea, and everyone plays "we are the champions, etc, etc"...and all the other sports tunes, who cares...........they are fun, and the fact that we get to sing that we have won is FUN.
