Scholarship table
People who don't know crap about Marquette basketball, but insist on sitting directly behind me at the Fiserv and talk nonstop, forcing me to listen to 2 hours of absolute bullish!t.
I thought of this post at Tuesday night's game as I and my brother-in-law stood from the start of the game until first MU basket while the people sitting behind us were complaining we were standing. They said things to one another like "What is this, the student section?" Did they not look around to see the entire arena standing at that point?? I certainly hope they took notice after the first bucket and the entire place sat pretty much in unison.
FTR the color guys on Fox made note of it. They were commenting that everyone was still standing because it was awhile before we got our first field goal and how the tradition is to not sit down until that happens.
tradition? Since when? I know Syracuse has done it forever and Wisconsin started having everyone stand until the opposing team scored (this started with the move to the Kohl Center). Traditions can't be imposed or created and immediately called a "tradition."
For 15 plus years at least.
18 years plus.
I remember doing it in the 80s.
I remember doing that in the 80s, too.
we never did it in the 90's or 2000's. Hell, in the mid 90's the student section barely stood. Seems we should make our own "traditions" instead of ripping others off and calling it ours.
For awhile, wasn't there a toilet paper toss after the first made basket?
