Obscene football chants are not unique to Kansas. At the University of Wisconsin in Madison, one group of students at football games will chant â??Eat (expletive),â? and another group will respond, â??(Expletive) you.â?

â??We get a lot of complaints,â? said Amy Toburen, a university spokeswoman, but that doesnâ??t deter the students. â??Theyâ??re persistent about their words and theyâ??re persistent about their odd traditions.â?

Just like at KU, the university worries about the impact on families and small children attending games, she said. And itâ??s also audible on television broadcasts.
