I don't think that singling out players is over the line by any means. The "airball" chant signals people out. Should we single college kids out with info about a deceased family member? That's too far. But singling a player out is a very vague statement and has very different levels to it. Where's the line? Who knows. But there's only one way to find it!NewApp wrote: ↑Wed Feb 26, 2020 10:11 amSnark alert.asu66 wrote: ↑Tue Feb 25, 2020 12:13 pmWe don't have that reputation and we won't have one anywhere close to the "Mob at The Stink" as long as men like Doug Gillen and Dustin Kerns are our leaders.

I believe I heard a chorus of seconds to the nomination. If there's no discussion, are we ready for the vote...
FWIW, never said we were like GSU, just that I don’t want to be like them or any where close. The line isn’t thin. Chants like we heard in football is clearly Over the line. Rowdy is good. F bombs and singling out opposing players is over the line. Fair enough?

Re: CLASSLESS JERK!!!!!!!!!!
I think the F word should be worked into ALL chants. Saying it over and over and over and over and over and over and over again will cause that word to lose its venom.

Re: CLASSLESS JERK!!!!!!!!!!
I don’t think anyone has to go to choir practice to avoid hearing “you suck azz” chanted at opponent. Everyone should object to that whether they have kids in attendance or not. Doesn’t offend the other team, just inspires them.APPdiesel wrote: ↑Wed Feb 26, 2020 10:36 amWOAH. I haven’t heard language that foul since Buddy the Elf called himself a cotton-headed ninnymuggins.shortfatoldapp wrote: ↑Tue Feb 25, 2020 6:59 amSpace, your opinion in this case is all I need. I too want everyone to “hate” us but I want it to be because we beat them! I suspect the reason the kids don’t come to the games is that we really don’t have any basketball tradition or history! That being said, I surely do not want sit beside a “mouthy leather-lungs”. I’m sorry your experience was poor, please try again.
Seriously everybody, 4 pages on student section conduct? If it bothers you be a man and go tell the offender to clean it up. If you’re not man enough, move seats. If you’re too lazy to move, speak to an usher and have them ask the kid to clean it up.
It’s college sports not choir practice.

Re: CLASSLESS JERK!!!!!!!!!!
See my previous post....don't like it:
a) personally go tell them to clean it up
b) ask an usher to go ask them to clean it up
c) move seats to get far enough away you can't hear it
d) stay in your seat but get over it
Old dudes griping about it on message boards (I include myself in that "old dudes" jab, I'm 35) does NOTHING to change things.

Re: CLASSLESS JERK!!!!!!!!!!
So I don't normally pay attention to who people are on this board behind their screen names. Randomly seeing your name and thinking about my drive home from work and actually putting two and two together. Depending on when I get out I sometimes hear Todd sign off and you come on and that's what jarred my realization. That seems like a sweet gig.
As far as your comment is concerned, it reminds me of the South Park episode "It Hits the Fan."

If your "F word" contains venom then I think you might be doing it wrong.

Individual fans shouldn't have to walk all the way around the stadium to tell 500 students to quit chanting the suck ass chant. Doesn't offend me but makes me look down on our own our fandom.

Re: CLASSLESS JERK!!!!!!!!!!
New phrases to be used will be "Wow, are you the son of Larry Bird? You're so good" and "Aren't you just a great defender", but not to forget classic referee talk such as "Nice shirt, I had no idea you worked at Foot Locker! I hope they pay well!"BeauFoster wrote: ↑Wed Feb 26, 2020 12:21 pm
Maybe we should drop basketball and pick up sarcastaball? That would ensure no feelings are ever in danger of being hurt.
This way all the younger kids who don't get sarcasm will feel better...

Re: CLASSLESS JERK!!!!!!!!!!
An example I would give that make a big difference.
A pep band led drum cadence that ends with the crowd yelling for our team to “give em hell”
Is different from yelling at a player from the other team individually to “go to hell”

They chant: "You suck, ass hole" when the other team kicks off. That means he sucks, and he's also an ass hole. "You suck ass hole" would be weirdly specific and only appropriate to chant at the Stink game.
