I love Oski, but what amuses me even more is UC Davis's take on the yell: Bossy Cow Cow!

I am confused about the origin of the yell. Why did the University of Illinois claim the yell originated in 1899 if the yell does not refer to the University of Illinois, or anything related to that university or even to Illinois, but rather to Berkeley and California? If so, what was the original, "late-19th century cheer" that did not include the words "Berkeley" or "California," which perhaps Cal later adopted and modified and inserted the words "Berkeley" and "California."

Thanks.
