I remember hearing the "who dat" chant on an episode of 70s show "The White Shadow" about high school basketball. The players on the show were chanting it.

I heard the Patterson story before, they had a story on one of the news stations about it.

It actually started in Rome many centuries ago.
Caesar said it to Brutus. "Et tu that! Et tu that! Et tu hath vowed to conquer dat emporer! Et tu that!

this was my first recollection of it
Lots of recollections, not many actual facts. Were they not making signs in the 70's? Surely there's a picture of a who dat sign somewhere if it had become a common chant.

From wikipedia
Instant loss of credibility
Not really, but short sighted people seem to think so.
If one pulls an article with citations from Wiki and verifies the sources, how has one lost credibility?
Wiki can be very useful, when used properly. Poo-pooing it off hand isn't the way to go, even if some people who cite it ARE intellectually lazy. In fact, one could argue that poo-pooing it off hand is itself intellectually lazy.

Wouldn't that have been, "Hey, Dat, get over here!"?
