Crass Cheers

[jwp91]

Ok....so I have brought by 5 year old son to the Notre Dame, Depaul and Marquette games. He, by the way, is becoming a huge Hoya fan insisting that we bring our GU flag to the Bradley Center....

I now have a whole new perspective on crass cheers.

Yes....I looked away and ignored the 'bulls***' chant from the Marquette fans when they reacted to unfavorable calls. I know I have done worse. Besides, I don't think he understood....I think.

It makes me reflect on the most crass cheers I have participated in....

Of course, I participated in the "Hoyas don't give a f***" cheers. Say what?

One of the most crass cheers that I remember is from a visit to the Spectrum in 1989/90. I chanted along with 200 of my closest Hoya friends "Bend Over Nova" as we marched to our seats and throughout the game. That was fun....although probably not much fun for anyone that brought a kid. I can tell you that we had a pretty good time.

So here is my question....what crass cheers do you regret...or not? Will you feel differently when you bring your kid to a Hoya game?

What the heck's a Catholic at the Catholic U. game...NOT. (this was in response to the often quoted "what the heck's a Hoya).

All is good as long as you say "Earmuffs."

the sign for kerry kittles in iversons sophomore year was great. it read i think "kerry next time dial 1800 Collect" it was classic and we railed nova by 25 i think to make us undefeated at the cap center that season. oh the memories i was in 6th grade.

Speaking of this topic... a discussion broke out on another board about the "Brokeback" cheers after Gonzaga students were asked not to make Brokeback Mountain cheers at the opposing teams....

yeah Hoya blue got in trouble for putting brokeback mountaineers in their pre game eamil. By in trouble i mean some one wrote a letter to the editor of the hoya but still they apologized in the latest pregame email.
