Love the poly athletes, but not really feeling the poly culture. I get it!
You're just going to deal with it until the Poly experiment fails so you can get back to what you're accustomed to. (there, i said it)

Its not for the old blue haired guys. Its for recruits and student body

It's just as forced as every other hand sign that college teams use. Not a big

At least it has potential to be cool, unlike TCU's stupid frog sign

TCU's "I have Arthritis" hand sign?

Nothing could be more natural than a Poly staff doing it. It's their thing and

Yeah, I'm fine if Kalani and staff do it. They're not forcing it.

Watch for me; I'm usually flashing the "25" like a ref calling a foul on Chatman

Agreed. After all, everything about Kalani Sitake is forced and ungenuine.

Agreed. Feels like another response to the Yewts, just like the ROC and

What is the 3rd down Stop?
WJCougar

The ROC has a large blue stop sign that appears on 3rd down to motivate fans.

Oh, I have never seen that....must be in the student section.

For any of this to be true, Utah would have had to have originated any of those

Nicknames and hand signs aren't really comparable

BYU fans care...we have been making fun of Utah for years now.

Only insecure BYU fans care

Only insecure fans call others names - like "insecure."

So, you haven't seen the endless post on CB making fun of the Ute sign?
WJCougar

This. "Yewts and their stupid hand sign" (10 yrs later) "We need a hand sign!"
cougarfuzz
7/1/16 10:32am
It's because they stole their hand sign from another school

You mean stealing the "Hang Loose" sign doesn't work for you?

Which gets me to this: Is it the Shaka (back of the hand facing the audience) or

Or the "call me" sign?

It's the "Y" sign.

That's actually a good point. As a good an argument as I've heard

Fighting against new traditions is as silly as trying to manufacture them.

It is interesting how Kalani gives it cred that it wouldn't otherwise have.

Something tells me Cougar fans would fly Big12 logos as much as the Pac12s do.

I really think the shaka is more naturally BYU than anyone else's sign
