By far the best rivalry game in college football in my opinion. What gives with the hand signals from the cadets, what were they meant to convey?

Maybe they should have kissed to make everyone happy.

The Okay symbol, the simple answer is everything is racist today...

It's been a weird game for starting when I was in high school (2012ish). You make your buddy look and if he does you pop him in the shoulder.

It's called the "Circle game" and it started long before 2012. We used to play that when I was in grade school. That's back in the late 70's early 80's and I'm sure it was around before that.

I think you also get to make fun of someone who looks at the circle. Because they are looking at you junk.

We called it "red eye" when I was in grade school on the late sixties/early seventies. As described above; make somebody look at it and it meant a free punch to his shoulder. The signal had to be below the belt though or you got the punch to the shoulder.

In my opinion this is just more fake news, politically-correct bullcrap and here's why: President Trump got a huge ovation at the start of the game. Later the crowd chanted "USA, USA."

That sort of thing really sticks in the craw of the liberals. So they spun it to make it seem like it was just a bunch of racist deplorables cheering for their demented, white supremacist leader.

I spent 4 years in the Army and never heard of it before. Thanks for filling me in.
