Fans hollering vulgarities. Might not happen if big brass cared about basketbal

[MakeItRain]

LOL.  Well, I am glad you kept after it on the google front yourself, after that ridiculous student letter to the editor post!  Or, did you have this latest one already and keep this doozy squirreled away just in case?!? 

Were you sitting there contemplating whether to lead with the engineering student letter or the Barry Alvarez letter?

At any rate, while Barry's cordially toned letter from several years ago was nice, it obviously did not work.  I wonder, has the Wisconsin community been up in arms since?  My friends in Wisconsin who attend the games have assured me that this is not the case, but perhaps my non-Google evidence is merely anecdotal and unworthy of serious consideration.

Nah, after you made what you should have clearly though was a ridiculous comment, I searched Wisconsin administration vulgar chants, it took literally five seconds. I find it hilarious that you're willing to die on this hill given we can only find two examples of a student section embarrassing themselves in this manner and both administrations rightfully admonished the students. KU also admonished their students for doing something similar and stunningly it didn't ruin their experience.

And yes your friend's story is obviously anecdotal, and completely irrelevant to the conversation about our students and their moronic eff ku chant. I have a colleague who is in his 50s, he's a Wisconsin alum and season ticket holder. He's also a devout Christian, should I get his opinion on Wisconsin's student chants to bolster my opinion?

Please do!  He has apparently listened to it for years!

Also if you think they "do everything better than us," I would think you'd want at least be able to clear their historically low bar for fan behavior. Stop rough ridin' acting like the students can't get into the game, have fun, and be intimidating without this amazingly base and stunningly uncreative chant.

Base?  Uncreative?  Perhaps.  However, each student section has easily accomplished their goal through exceptionally simple tactics...Occam's Razor, I guess.

Keep bitching about it, and keep giving them what they want.

I don't think they are doing it because people are bitching about it, if so it kind of proves everyone's point about why it's absurd, that isn't a great defense. I offered a solution it's on the other 12,000 people in attendance to do something about it.

I shouldn't be commenting on this anyway.  It's not my place to say anything about it.  I apologize.

I don't watch or support KSU basketball, so I need to mind my own business.

Don't be so weirdly passive aggressive, no one has ever taken that tone with anyone else on this blog.

[MakeItRain]

Defending this is so rough ridin' weird, I don't get it at all and I swear a lot.

[Pete]

That's not passive aggressive.  I mean that. 

[ksupamplemousse]

Of all the things argue about tonight...

[Pete]

I admit that I am biased by the fact that I have a very, very low opinion of the KSU chair-backs, and this athletic department administration, and our university leadership for installing a god damn army boss as the steward of an alleged institution of higher learning.

[Pete]

Of all the things argue about tonight...

eff you.

Go count how many things I have argued about on this blog in the last couple years. 

[Pete]

I mean, these assholes are mad about the students saying a word, and we have an Army boss leading our university and oscar Weber coaching our basketball team.

[ksupamplemousse]

I wasn't making a statement about you as a poster or human being. I just can't believe this is what is at the top of  board tonight.

Well don't, your posts are great; you're just super wrong tonight.

It's almost like the army guy knew the L was coming and set this in motion.

I mean there's plenty of indignance to go around. But seriously the administration has to admonish the behavior, i don't know what the big deal about them not doing it.

Probably code named it and everything. 

I bet when his buddies call him they are like "Did those enlistment aged civilians  really just declare FOXTROT - UNIFORM - CHARLIE - KILO?!?!?"

MIR, we've been good lately, but this is something you seriously never gave a eff about "before having a family around this type of thing". Grasping at straws here. I guarantee worse things were said at football games in the late 90's.

[420seriouscat69]

Also, I've never met anyone on this board IRL not to say "eff KU!" Either under their breath or out loud. Times have definitely changed, but for Christ sakes Pete's argument isn't wrong just because a few old ppl had some kids. Yes, let's stop saying it for real, but... #SnowflakeNationUnite first!

What my family hears is insignificant, I haven't been to a home basketball game in three years and its been four years since anyone else in my family has been to a home basketball game. The dickhead students that think it's funny to do that time after time need to be considerate of others though. And no you're wrong there was no group swearing epidemic before it happened two or three years ago. There was the occasionally brief "bullshit" chant but that's it.

Are you trying to bait me into calling you names? What the eff are you even arguing here?

[Kat Kid]

No, the band stopped playing the gary glitter "hey" song when I was in school because we were chanting "we're going to beat the F out of you."

This is a real thing that happened.  It has progressed from there.

I remember that. 

Also, at Texas, their fight song has a line "Give 'em hell, give 'em hell, go horns go!" Which apparently in the SWC days was changed to "Give 'em hell, give 'em hell, make 'em eat s**t!" In reference to the Razorbacks.  I've never heard about any administration blow-back about that.

I think it was stupid they stopped playing that song at the KSU FB games due to the language.  It makes more sense to admonish the BBall students though, since it is so clearly audible on TV and you know TV producers/announcers are like "man, I don't want to have to deal with that."

[star seed 7]

If tv had a problem with it they would just lower the crowd volume and show something else instead of spending timeouts doing crowd shots with no commentary. TV loves the eff ku chant

[OK_Cat]

Holy crap who cares.  #trim3:16
