UK is trying its best to implement new traditions this season (sorry, I am not on board with “Caturday”), and one of them is playing a coal mine whistle before third downs on defense to honor the hard-working blue collar people of Kentucky. Here, let East Kentucky natives Jacob Hyde and Kash Daniel explain:

I think the whistle is cool, but what is that scream that precedes it?
