UPDATE: Yes, Jaws on 3rd down is going away, but...

Yeah okay so we may have gotten a little too far ahead of ourselves when we said that the Purdue Band would no longer play Jaws on 3rd down because of the “Kill” chant that started around the 2009 season.

Whoops.

Update concerning this, I’ve been told that the band is no longer playing Jaws but it has nothing to do with the Kill chant. We can all put our pitch forks down. Sorry to get everyone in a huff over apparently nothing. https://t.co/BGQ1uQqR4q

So yes, Jaws is still going away, but not for the reasons that we originally reported.
