Shuttlesworth Posted January 16, 2014 Report Posted January 16, 2014 This is an older video, but this is just one of the many chants that they hang their hat on. Our biggest student section tradition is what? Shredding up newspapers? Watching this video actually made me jealous. Quote
NeeandMe Posted January 16, 2014 Report Posted January 16, 2014 The problem with Nebraska's student section is none of this kids have grown up knowing Nebrasketball success or tradition. There are probably 30-40 kids that are die-hards, the rest go for something to do. With all that Miles did at CSU, I'm a little disappointed he hasn't done more to get students there. Of course, I'm not a student so maybe he's done more than we know. Quote
NeeandMe Posted January 16, 2014 Report Posted January 16, 2014 And let me be clear: the 30-40 that are there and really care are fantastic, it's just the rest that are disappointing. I was a student for the '05-06 through '08-09 seasons and couldn't stand when people ripped on the students cause there were some of us that were very good. So if you're reading this and are a student getting mad about being ripped on, just know we notice some of you are great. Now you need to get more friends to be just as loud. trickey and Noah121 2 Quote
Shuttlesworth Posted January 16, 2014 Author Report Posted January 16, 2014 Agree with you. I appreciate and take notice of the diehards that do show up. I think the problem with our student body (and more so within the Greek system, who could absolutely ignite the student section) is that it is 'below' them to sit within the student section. Quote
Silverbacked1 Posted January 16, 2014 Report Posted January 16, 2014 the Utah State student section is kind of the Rolls Royce of student sections. I would settle for the Dodge Ram Cummings Diesel 4x4 with dualies student section. Shuttlesworth 1 Quote
PimpMario Posted January 16, 2014 Report Posted January 16, 2014 That stadium is tiny. ANd I support our student section. They have done way better cheering this year than the rest of the stadium. Now that they are back on campus we are really going to need them. Quote
hal9000 Posted January 16, 2014 Report Posted January 16, 2014 I'm not a fan of the, "Who cares, you suck!" chant they do when the opposing players are are announced. Not too imaginative, IMO. I always liked it when they held up newspapers, as if they were more interested in reading the news than hearing the announcements. Quote
Cazzie22 Posted January 16, 2014 Report Posted January 16, 2014 Basketball is big in Utah. The Utes, Aggies, Webber State and BYU have all been good teams over the years. Utah St. has been almost an annual visitor to the NCAA tourney under Stew Morrill. Quote
49r Posted January 16, 2014 Report Posted January 16, 2014 Basketball is big in Utah. The Utes, Aggies, Webber State and BYU have all been good teams over the years. Utah St. has been almost an annual visitor to the NCAA tourney under Stew Morrill. I read an article (or saw something on ESPN) about this a few years ago, I think it coincided with all 4 or 5 (or 6 or however many there are) DI schools in Utah making some kind of postseason tournament. Apparently, one of the major factors they cite for their basketball success and passion in Utah is that every Mormon church has a hoop, and kids are encouraged to play. So, in Utah, hoops is about as close to a religion as you can get. Silverbacked1 1 Quote

I always liked it when they held up newspapers, as if they were more interested in reading the news than hearing the announcements. This reminds me of the time when I was one of the few students in the Red Zone during a winter break game, and during the opponent's introductions, I did the "volleyball clap" together with the cheerleaders and got some ribbing for it on the forums. Of course, I don't know what the student section at the Bank is like, since the only MBB game I managed to get to was The Citadel. Sort of hard to be simultaneously in Lincoln and Evanston when I am not on break And NeeandMe, I was in your boat too! Unfortunately, the enthusiasm seemed to dwindle after the "Mighty Mites" season.

cipsucks Posted January 17, 2014 Report Posted January 17, 2014 I was a student for the '05-06 through '08-09 seasons I believe Jimmy was, too. However, I think he was at a different university and in a different century...... Noah121, HB and 49r 3 Quote
jimmykc Posted January 17, 2014 Report Posted January 17, 2014 Hey Cip, I am not the oldest guy on the board. Although I probably still hold the distinction of being the only one here to watch Eddie Sutton play high school ball. Quote

CrazyforNUHOOPS Posted January 17, 2014 Report Posted January 17, 2014 Coolest thing our student section has done is have two lesbians make out behind the opponents basket while shooting free throws....but it's been probably four years since that happened. BannedAccount 1 Quote
49r Posted January 17, 2014 Report Posted January 17, 2014 Were they lesbians? Or just "experimenting"... Quote
CrazyforNUHOOPS Posted January 17, 2014 Report Posted January 17, 2014 Were they lesbians? Or just "experimenting"... It could have been experimentation, but they weren't all that attractive and they were really excited to get the tonsil hockey going! Quote

CrazyforNUHOOPS Posted January 17, 2014 Report Posted January 17, 2014 It was the TCU game in '09. Quote

49r Posted January 17, 2014 Report Posted January 17, 2014 and the confetti thing is a big thing at K-State... then again, there really isn't anything original left anyway. Quote
