Have to ask...  what does the "cip" in "cipsucks" stand for?  Hoping it's not Cipriano, as I have some fond elementary school memories of Joe Cipriano.

First game I ever went to, in the Coliseum, had to be 1973 or 74, we were playing Kansas State.  During a time out, when the crowd was silent, someone shouted out "Cip Sucks!"  Don't remember much else about the game.  That line, however, stays with me!

Thanks for sharing!  I went to a couple of games with my Dad the last season we played in the Coliseum, I think that was '75.  I don't recall anybody yelling things like that, but I do recall (at least this is how I remember it) hearing about Cipriano having to leave coaching because of cancer, then passing away shortly after - this was a few years later.  A surprising thing to hear about at that age.

You never heard the "Just like Joe, Moe must go" chants?  Sheltered life....

And he did, my dad would cuss him out every game. I'm sticking with the Bugeaters avi.
