Brandin "Florida Boi" Hawthorne and Van Bergen are both saying "Hoka-Hey" on their FB pages in prep for the game tomorrow... Other than knowing that this is what Crazy Horse used to say going in to battle, or a cursory reference to some motorcycle race I saw in a search, is there any story behind this worth knowing about? I think it's pretty cool.

well...
In Lakota it means something along the lines of "let's do it" or "lets roll." It was shouted by Crazy Horse before battle...
Finally, use for my token indian skills.

in Lakota it was said along with "this is a good day to die"
When the Lakota say "hoka-hey" it either means or is said ALONG with "this is a good day to die." Gotta love that one going into the Notre Dame game. It sounds like the guys are pumped up. GO BLUE!!!!

It doesn't mean that...
It can be said before it, but it does not mean today is a good day to die. That is a hollywood misconception. It is an exclamation. Trust me...

Flatliners
God damn, I'm old.
At the beginning of the movie Flatliners, Kiefer Sutherland says that phrase as the opening credits roll by. Later in the movie, one of the other med students (IIRC, your first degree of Kevin Bacon) informs us that the phrase means "a good day to die."
Edit: I just saw your post, amphibious1. I have made it a point to always defer to those not associated with Hollywood. Or Kevin Bacon. So I retract my statement and officially say I don't know what the phrase means.
Or it means "Brian Kelly, you never deserved to be our coach, so chill the fuck out. Enjoy getting clover fucked tomorrow."
