What do you expect from college kids? I'm sure this happens at all other universities.

I expect college kids to represent the University well in all situations.
I expect college kids to be mature on a certain level - like the non college kids at the same age level carrying weapons and protecting America's freedoms and always representing us with class.

Can you find me the video from Yale when this occured there by chance?

"They came in right by the student section who was undoubtedly intoxicated and pumped for a big game."
So it was the booze that made them do it...opinions are great as everyone has one - mine is it looks bad, you think its no big deal - so be it.

Go Huskies!!

This reads like something from the Onion but you are serious, good lord. No, Yale is too busy raping women and covering it up for this to ever happen.

You dont think yelling 'Turners Mom Wears Combat Boots' would throw him off his game but saying does?
Just Curious which words throw a player off his game and which dont - chants are NOT needed - but to each their own - accept the negativity it created, you caused it.

"Turners Mom Wears Combat Boots," you must be in your 100's.

You did find the commonality between Yale and UConn - good for you - but failed to prove the posters point that everyone yells Faq u to opposing BB players.
Next you will tell me everyone does it so it's ok.

Next I will tell you you're a clown and your mother wears combat boots in the shower.
 
I did hear a "you can't read" chant when (I believe) Turner was taking free throws in the first half.

Did the truth hurt your feelings superjohn and you dropped a level to name calling??
Kids...

:-(

LOL
 
The Cameron Crazies are celebrated by everyone in college basketball for their heckling. Everyone else receives a shocked and awed "why I never!" response. It's not like Army or Navy were getting off the bus and our students were chanting at them to F off (like our RU friends have).

I was making a joke about how ridiculous it is when you say college students should tell a player his mom wears combat boots in the shower. Ttust me, I don't take you seriously old-timer.
 
Give a couple hundred college kids (who have likely camped out for 24+ hours for a basketball game) a glimpse of the opposition and you are lucky this was the worst thing they said.

Personally chanted the same thing when they walked in in 2010... This is NOT an issue that the PC police need to regulate.

I remember a BC game when Mickey Curley, Bill's brother, was taking it pretty bad to the point that one of his teammates put his arm around him as they walked off the court. I don't recall feeling bad for him.

SuperJohn - you are a great poster but your reading comprehension is not very good.

You added the word shower - I didnt say that.
You called me a clown - which is ok - many revert to name calling on this medium.

Would you want your kid to someday be taunted with FAQ U's as an athlete or your mother wears combat boots - its a question that doesnt need to be answered.

Lets agree to disagree - you and many others feel it is good representation of the University to yell FAQ U to a player - I dont feel the same.

Go Huskies and Represent Well!!

Just the bedroom? What about the shower, the kitchen, the hot tub, or the movable stacks at the bottom level of Babbidge Library (unless they are gone now)?

No I don't think yelling at people is a good look but I'm used to it, if you get over 100 people together with alcohol you are going to see some pretty stupid behavior, when it's over 100 college kids liquored up before a big sporting event you are going to get really dumb behavior. It makes the students look like morons but I could really care less, it's when the behavior turns to racism, demeaning women etc. where the behavior cannot be tolerated and is a huge blight on the University. I was making a joke about the mom wearing combat boots in the shower because that's an insult from the 50's and no college age kid would know what the hell you are talking about.
 
It's just a part of big time college sports; that's all. As long as nothing is racist or s exist, I have no problem participating. All schools do it, many others probably even worse. There is no reason to act like we're any different from any other school here. We heckle, we tease, we taunt, and (usually) we win.

Stop - ALL schools do not yell FAQ u to an opposing player - and lets say PITT does it - you want to be like PITT??

I would think UConn students could get clever when they want to heckle, tease and taunt...

Of course, not everyone can pull a prank like Yale did a few years back on Harvard getting their football fans to hold up a 'You Suck' sign at Harvard Stadium. Crass and classic.

 
Well, I don't condone -Bomb, especially when I have my kids at the game, but Texas can't get on their high horse either. Check out this video, I especially like the part where and adult has her little girl in the pink dress on her shoulders shouting "OU SUCKS". Glass houses my friends, glass houses.

You are way too caught up in this. Was it puerile? Of course. Was it out of line? Perhaps. But if you did a study, duck u is not a big concern. They are out opponent. We want to intimidate them. Would our home court advantage be feared if we waved at Texas and offered them food, and then sat on our hands and said nothing the entire game?? You haven't been in college for a few years, have you? And yes, for your PITT question. They have a great home court advantage; on par with Gampel. And if "Turner can't read" and "Ridley eat a salad" aren't creative enough for you from tired hungover (yet enthusiastic) fans, then you my friend have some Shakespearean expectations for creativity.

Could be worse, and this story involved adult OU and UT fans and the word castration.

I'm not gonna be the guy who tells students they have to represent the school better or something stupid like that.

But you look like an idiot when you chant something like "you can't read", especially with everything we went through with the APR. "duck* you" is about equally lame albeit mostly harmless. Come up with something better.
 
Don't they send death threats in Texas to their own football players when they F up? I think the UConn students look pretty lame but the soap boxes people get on...

They should also know who KO and the staff were recruiting at one time or another!
