    Shake your keys?

    Watching WVU and CU and they just showed the WVU fans shaking their keys before kickoff.

    I've never seen anyone else do that...are there other schools out there that shake their keys? Anyone know how that tradition got started at UNI?
    EVER LOYAL.

    Iowa State does it, and I'm pretty sure Iowa's student section does as well.

      There are a lot of teams that do it from watching games on TV

          Oh, and let me make this perfectly clear to you people: you go to UNI, NOT IOWA. The Hawkeyes and their fans do not give a crap if you remain "true to them" or some stupid self-fulfulling bullcrap like that.-OTP


          What i say are my opinions and mine alone, and not that of anyone associated with me.

            any how, shaking a single house key is rather silly.

                I know that Kansas State has done that and the first down chant since the early 90's

                  No, we aren't the only ones with that tradition, and I really highly doubt we were the first.

                  But who cares. It's still fun.

                    Panther fans began shaking their keys before that. The first down chant is only about 3 years old for us.

                    You don't break out the Purple and Gold on game days or look for special gifts and gadgets bearing the colors because you want to be seen among the loyal. Purple and Gold aren't colors you see---they're colors you feel. They run through your veins with a continuous roar.

                        I have a seperate set of keys for shaking.

                        Maybe that's why I'm always on the video board before kickoffs....either that or the camera loves fat guys.

                          several years back fans were banned from bringing "noise makers" to the games; this is how the student body got around it.

                            This topic has been addressed previously on PN and it has been established UNI students were shaking keys at O. R. Latham prior to the Dome. I remember my first UNI football game in the Dome in the 70's and upperclassmen telling us frosh to 'get our keys out' and shake them at kickoffs.

                            I don't know when WVU, Iowa, ISU, et al started shaking keys, I know UNI has had the tradition for at least 35 years.
