Does anyone know what that saying means?  I could google it, but thought it'd be more fun to ask the question here.

What? We are your Google monkeys??!  I actually think it doesn't mean anything....it just started with the student body to rhyme Jayhawks with something.

I do know my Grandaddy called limestone chalk rock, but I don't think Kansas is famous for limestone, so I don't know.  What I hope it means is that they run over KY like a avalanche of rock, and chalk outline wildcats.

I read what started it, but can't recall.  Maybe an early game had a chalk line?  Not sure.

They used to do a cheer "Rah Rah Jayhawks" a science professor suggested using Rock Chalk because it rhymes and because as Louis said it was what they called Limestone....today all it means is LOSER.
