What does “Oskie” really mean—and where did it come from? What about “Oskee Wow Wow”?
This video dives deep into the mysterious origins of the term used in General Robert Neyland’s famous football maxims, explores its connection to mascots like Oski the Bear, and unravels its presence in historic student yells, fight songs, and even Barry Switzer’s autobiography. From Native American languages to old-school acronyms like “Our Side Caught It,” this is the ultimate rabbit hole of football tradition and lore. Hosted by Jon Johnston of Hardcore College Football History.
