Who Let The Owls Out????

I just graduated and moved to Texas. However, it took me five of the six football seasons to graduate. So, I've been around for a while and might shed some light of a historical sense on the situation.
1. No, I did not create "Who Let The Owls Out." I just simply help to promote it to the student body. However, I did help to create Owl Fingers in 2002.
2. I can point my finger at two possible creators of Who Let the Owls Out. First, is an alum who hung the sign bearing those words every game at his tailgate. Second, was a student who made shirts (one is hanging in 620subs last time I checked in July) that has a picture of Coach Schnelly smoking out of a pipe and it says "Who Let the Owls Out" and on the back it says "This Guy Did." Those shirts were being sold by an unlicensed vendor in 2003 before FAU politely asked him/her to leave.
While I would love to take credit for creating such a catchy chant and everyone can learn quickly, I can't take credit for it.
And my reason for starting a whole new thread about this: I couldn?t find the replies in the threads. There were so many replies about different topics. And also because when you are talking about BUILDING TRADITION, it deserves its own topic.

That place should rock as much as it can with 8,000 fans during critical parts of the game.
It was upsetting considering MTSU was mounting a comeback in the 4th and it took awhile for the crowd to get into it.

That's actually a NCAA rule. If the opposing team complains they can call a penalty against the home team for it.

Anyway, I'm glad the chant appears to have died.

I did hear the WLTOO? chant once yesterday…
Yeah. One of the students in the prOWLer section did start it, and a handful of other people chimed in the second time, but then it died and never happened again. There were a lot of dirty looks when they started it.
We tried a wave several time and it didn't work. A couple of people tried to do this dance and that didn't go over well either. Owl Fingers was pretty widespread, however.
What was actually disappointing to me is how few fans (mostly non-students) wore red. Most of the students were in red.
