IT'S THE GREATEST TIME OF YEAR, AND IT'S HERE. COME AND CELEBRATE IT!

Basketball season is upon us and now that we're into the actual season there are some rules we need to address...

1. Don't woo.

We do not woo after "Rock Chalk. Jayhawk. Go KU." What does your woo really tell us? Don't be that way.

2. Throw newspaper confetti during the starter names, not before.

Also acceptable times for confetti tossings: the first basket or when Tyler Self makes a basket of any kind. (We've waited 5 years for his playing time in the last 4 minutes. It's time to celebrate.)

3. This is not the home of the Chiefs.

You are approximately 50 miles and a whole state border away from the home of the Chiefs. Stop trying to make home of the Chiefs happen.

4. Stop the woo.

Stop that. No.

5. When the alma mater plays, you sing along and you sway along with your new friends standing next to you.

It's not awkward if you don't make it awkward fam.

6. If you make a sign, make it original, and visible.

Invest in that chisel edged Shapie because I want to see the words from across the court and I want to see nothing like it before.

7. Seriously, stop that woo nonsense.

We are not to be known for our woo.

8. Know when to yell "tequila" when the band plays.

"Wait for it...wait for it... wait fo TEQUILA" What a stressful time in life, but you'll get it.

9. Have no mercy on your paper throwing, and take no offense when someone else's paper smacks you in the face.

You have about 10 seconds to rip up your newspaper, do what you must.

10. Do. Not. Woo.

Seriously.

11. Learn the clap, or don't clap at all.

3, 3, 1, 1, 3, 2, 2, 5. That simple.

12. Do not even think about wooing.

Have some dignity and grace.

13. Wear blue.

It's what we do. Sea of blue with pops of the small acceptable number of white jerseys.

14. If you know the clap, slow your roll. Stay on beat.

By the third set of 3 everyone in your row is on a different tempo, let's all get this together.

15. FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS KU BASKETBALL STOP WOOING!

A little Jayhawk loses its feathers every time you woo.

Now that we've got this all established, let's rock chalk and roll out some victories!
