More ridiculous than funny -- the player at the end of Pittsburgh's bench who had "Hollywood" across the back of his warmup jacket. For some reason Louie C. let his guys do it at St. John's and they came up with winners like "Stud" and "Gonzo".

III turning his back to the court and refusing to watch when the Hoyas were shooting free throws (badly) a couple of seasons ago. The Charlie Daniels/Ballroom dancing was more weird than funny.

A couple of Terps fans discussing how the Hoyas would stand little chance against Greivis Vasquez and co.
The guy in the 80s who did the Hawaii 50 dance was funny in an awaesome sort of way.

My family had season tix at the Cap Center back in the day. There were some guys who sat near us who were VERY intense. They were cordial to us, but borderline belligerent about the game. I recall one time there was some silly routine going on during a timeout to the tune of "You Can't Touch This." The performers lingered for a few seconds after the horn. I thought the guys near us were going to run down to the court and remove them. Thinking back, it was pretty funny.
Also, does anyone remember the way Big John used to yell at Dikembe, especially during his first year or so? We could hear his voice distinctly way up where we sat. Good stuff!

January 26, 1985 outside the Cap Center pregame, St. Johns' fans waiving their middle fingers yelling "We are Number 1." The GU Students waiting to get in responded with a resounding "We are not from Queens" cheer.

Deke trying to get up from the floor despite severe leg cramps against Puke during the BE-ACC Challenge in Cap Center. Fans trying to will him to verticality with "Dee-kem-BAY! Dee-kem-BAY! Dee-kem-BAY!" chant. Almost worked.

Though today it would likely qualify as hate speech, Provvy and a few other old timers asking the BYU cheerleaders if they would all marry us....

I used to sit three rows behind the bench at the old Cap Center. Parents would cover their childrens' ears when JTJr went off on a MFer rant. . . That was entertaining. Once, a guy who didn't know that if you sat behind the bench you did NOT yell at JTJr to "put in X!" or "call a timeout" or any other coaching suggesting. Thompson once turned around and yelled at the fan, and this is nearly a direct quote: "What do you know about the game, you fat f#ck!" Ah, the good ol' days. . .

December 1984 at the Capital Centre. Hoyas are hosting UNLV, coached by Jerry Tarkanian. Our seats, in those days, were directly behind the visitors' bench (back when that was permitted). Just before the opening tip, we all leaned forward to listen to The Shark's pre-tip encouragement to the Running Rebels. It was classic: "Okay. Run the court, hit the boards, get back on D, and don't Edited up." The Hoyas went on an big early run right off the opening tip, and blew the game wide, wide open (GU won 82-46, according to the records section on hoyasaxa.com). Tark takes the towel out of his mouth, calls for a time out, and as he kneels in front of his team, screams at them "You're Editeding up out there!" It was a classic.
We were also all over UConn's coach, Dom Perno, and commenting rather loudly on his acne-scarred complexion (we were much younger and less forgiving in those days) when the Huskies visited. We had the bench warmers on the far end of the bench convulsing with laughter. Perno barely lasted that season. . .and in came Fagin from Northeastern.

Dee-kem-BAY!" chant. Almost worked. "Bobby's a virgin! Bobby's a virgin!" -- This was a few games after they got trounced by UNLV in the final and a year and a half after the Elite 8 loss to them that marked such a huge turning point in college BB (though Hurley wasn't in that game). He went 3 of 12 shooting (1 of 8 from 3) and committed 5 turnovers (albeit to 9 assists and 6 steals, but we played sloppy towards the end). He just looked so lost out there. Of course, they went on to win their first championship that year, beating the same UNLV squad that had crushed them (though I'd always like to think that our game in the second round -- the only one that year prior to Duke in which the Runnin' Rebels didn't win by double digits -- did something to wear them down after their relatively easy schedule, along with their having to play a second game against a Big East team in Seton Hall). Also, from just about any game at the Cap Center: "Cap Center sucks! Cap Center sucks!" -- How we hated the anti-student rules & security staff!

One of my greatest disappointments as a Georgetown fan was going to the bathroom and missing CD/BD. I wasn't at this game, but the time in Miami when Esh took a bathroom break in the middle of the game was some kind of special. My seats in the front of 118 give me regular access to some hilarious moments in the student section. There's a small gap between me and the back corner of the student section, and for whatever reason it's a common landing area for the drunk and clueless. Especially during lightly attended games drunk kids end up there to chill out/pass out/make out. It's an every game ritual to wait for a drunk student (it's usually a girl in Uggs) to try to walk across a row of chairs and fall through a seat and wipe out. Lots of sleeping off the pregame for the Radford game going on in those parts. Then there was the opening game of the 2013-14 season, when the student playing the Jack the Bulldog mascot was grooving on/dry humping/sitting on the lap of every chick in the back of the section. Some video/pics of that definitely got back to McDonough, though IDK whatever happened to that particular mascot...I mean I guess I hope he got one of the girls.

1981 BET at Syracuse at the break between games out of the stands came 4 mascots an eagle a wildcat bulldog a friar. So you suddenly had 3 double mascots chasing each other on the court for a rew minutes when security decided to go out but couldnot determine who was legit and who was a fake. I remeber Frank Rienzo trying to chase down the fake Hoya mascot and the Eagle kept getting in his way. A few were caught and a few made it into the safety of the stands under great applause and laughter from the stands. The same group had brought a turkey into McDonough on a leash post thanksging in the mid 70s and continued a love hate relationship with Mr. Rienzo by chasing him with a small RV after the homecoming game.

Good stuff--I had forgotten about that. This was also the time between the retirement of the Saltine Warrior in 1978 and the arrival of the ignominious Otto the Orange in 1982. Syracuse's mascot for that game was some sort of Roman centurion:

NOBODY NOTICES except im yelling from my seats. THEN later that nite on the local news George Michael shows the play with them scoring and doesnt notice they had six guys for two plays.. NOPE so i called channel four so when he does his NATIONAL tv sports center show right after low and behold he points out the unusual play at the verizon hmm six on five... sad but funny but even funnier Louis Orr said " i never saw that!" RIGHT i saw him grab a guy as he was running down the court and he yanked him off to the bench to sit down.. NONE Of our coaches nobody and certainly no refs saw any of that for TWO PLAYS.. funny and very sad probably woulda won that game OUCH go hoyas

GEEZER TIME! The Animal Section in McDonough during the 60"s. Had a crazy named Sheridan who at some point in every game would start screaming in fake German. The crowd would go quiet and after two or three minutes he'd conclude by screaming "Zieg" and the student should respond with "Heil". Like I said this went on for at least a year until we played NYU in I believe 1966. Needless to say the NYU students as well as the local and national media considered it an anti-semitic rant directed at NYU's large jewish student body. Tasteless to be sure but not intended to be anti-semitic (he did it at the Holy Cross, Seton Hall, and St John's games too) But that was the last game Sheridan did it.
