I'm just wondering how everyone else feels about the students who sit right behind the basket?
Personally, Im a huge Marquette fan and I go to every game and consider myself a dedicated fan (2 road trips to the east coast last season) But I just can't stand most of the kids that sit down there. They seem to feel like they are more important than the rest of us and try to control the student section during games.
And has anyone ever seen ANY of them have a beer during the game? Just throwin that out there...
-
We who sit in 106 do not feel any better than the other people, at least the dedicated group of us. We are there to enjoy the game, harrass the other team, and to help with the cheers. To say we try to control the student section is crazy, the people in teh section change way to much for any control to be established. And yes people do have beers during the game while sitting down there.
But I do agree with you too. Some of the people who sit down there are total stuck up jerks who have no care but to get on TV or the Jumbotron.
-
I have been sitting in section 106 for the last four years. The people in that section have been amazing fans through the years.
This year, however, I'll admit the climate has changed. A big loss was the graduation of MUFan12's group. They were among the greatest I've seen in that section.
I'd expect though, as the bigger games come along (I mean UWM has been the biggest home game to date) you will see the real fans back in section 106. Right now you can get to the game after the doors open and walk right into 106. Wait until the campouts start. That should weed out some of the fair weather fans.

You just proved my point. 106ers feel like they are more important than other fans. I'm not sure why you think that people who don't come 6 hours early to a Savannah State game are fairweather fans. They see just as much basketball as the people who are there early
-
Am I the only one who finds it a bit bizarre that some on this board measure a fan's dedication by the number of beers they drink? I've been to a dozen or more games every year for the past eight years and I think I've had a combined total of like 6 beers across those 100+ games ...
That rant aside, yes, I too have always found the 106 folks to be a little uppity about themselves.
-
I will have had 6 beers by halftime of the ND game, I can't wait.
-
I have sat there in the past, but haven't at all this year. Unless you're going to the game with only one or two other people you still have to get there early. If the price of beer was half of what it is that would be fine but now you would either have to be willing to spend an extra $14 to sit in 106 or lose your buzz, which is also pretty terrible. Plus the view in 106 isn't the best. In the other sections only a really tall person will obstruct your view, but in 106 just about anyone in front of you can block your view.
Most of the students in 106 are devoted fans who like being in that section and are the loudest fans in the place. But I will agree some think they are better. I know during the campout games last year, despite numerous security and police there, some of them found the need to direct others on how to line up and how they should behave, which really got on the nerves of a lot of other students.

haha I wasn't talking about dedication having anything to do with drinking beer, but I think that some of the people down there are just a little bit...different, partly because I never see them enjoying a delicious 7 dollar BC MGD
-

And more power to you, I just don't get why beer consumption or lack thereof comes up in these discussions at all ...
-
No. What I am saying is that when the real games start the drunk girl whose thong is sticking out (and not looking attractive by the way) will be gone along with some of the other ass clowns. The people who see 0, 4, 42, and 45 on the scoreboard and think Scott, Hazel, Brice, and Fronzea are starting will be gone. The people who still can't figure out Ring Out Ahoya will be gone. These are the people I am refrencing. I would say I feel like I am more of a fan than these people.
We like sitting by the court in 106 so we come early. It doesn't mean I think I am better than the fans in the lower bowl or upper deck. It's simply we want our low seats so we come early.
Also where does Grabowski and his group sit now? That guy was awesome. Always had hilarious comments, a stack of beer cups, and a love of DAN FITTZZ-GEERRRRRRALLLLLDDDDD.

My group sits in 106 but we all agree with that. My group didn't like that either.

I agree that they're devoted fans, I saw a lot of them at the tournament last year in NC, but you're right about the campout. Last year on Gameday, they were trying to police the rest of the students which was really annoying.
I just went to talk to a friend who had camped out and they got all jittery and nervous because I was standing near them... give me a break

Sounds pretty uppity to me.
And who is every upset with a drunk girl showing off the goodies?

If it was the same game; I wasn't in 106, but I could see a drunk girl obnoxiously dancing around who was the size of two drunk girls. Not upsetting, just somewhat disturbing.
-

Yeah, I think a few of us got in trouble for talking to a friend, the kid also claimed he was talking to BC security. I know exactly who you speak of...don't let a few kids on a power trip get ya down!!

I sat behind her at the PC game....most girls I would enjoy the goodies...this one gave me nightmares!

Robmufan had it the worst when she dropped her basketball and had to bend down to pick it up.

Yeah, that's true. Not everyone down there is the same. But The first two or three rows plus a few others need to get off their high horse

Just to point out the irony, by calling them out wouldn't you have to be sitting on a high horse?
Seriously, fans who cheer are all ok by me. Forget the power trips (or lack thereof)...just go to the games an scream your ass off. There's 18,000 other fans that will join you. Personally you may not like all 18,000, but you can all agree on wanting Marquette to get a W - and do your part to "help" the team.

I'm just wondering how everyone else feels about the students who sit right behind the basket?

They seem to feel like they are more important than the rest of us and try to control the student section during games.
And has anyone ever seen ANY of them have a beer during the game? Just throwin that out there...
I thought I was the only person who observed this but yea they dont drink beer and I have never seen any of them at any road games.
The true test of a fan is getting to road games. Any one get to to a home-game but to miss work and lug your ass to Morgantown which sucked this time because the hot co-eds were still off on break that deserves a kudos's
You Skianth are a true MU fan.
In fact if you are still a student my sloppy alumni group could use a sloppy person like you help the legend live on!!

Let me explain it to you Tribby... BEER! beer beer beer beer beer....BEER!
-
Tribby, I dont understand the beer thing either. To me it is just completely irrelevant. Anyone have an answer to tribby's question? Why did this even come up on this thread, and why is it being brought back up over and over again?
Anyways, I am just curious... How early is everyone getting to the game Saturday?

I may be on a high horse right now, but this is just one time. I don't act this way every game. But something should be said to these clowns to knock them down a few pegs.

I agree. How does drinking at the game make you a better fan? Don't get me wrong, I've always got a cold one in hand, but that doesn't mean I look down on those who choose not to overpay for beer.
-
i believe Dean Martin best summed up the importance on drinking when he said...
"I feel sorry for people who don't drink. When they wake up in the morning, that's as good as they're going to feel all day."
-
I agree, I used to sit next to grabowski in the front row of section 225. Which is way better than 106. You got a clear shot of the whole court and you are slightly off to the side a little. I loved those seats way better, the one game we stole the front row of 106 and I think about 10 kids started crying bc we "cheated" and came through the back door 5 mins before they let the students in.
For me, the game is about cheering on Marquette. And a big part of that for me and my friends is to consume as many $7 Brasco's as we can. I can honeslty say I am one of those people that have a great time at the game when I am hammered, and just a good time when I am sober.
Back in the day (when i was a freshman and buying beers with the worst fake id in the world) damn near EVERY student in the student section had a beer. I favor it because it gets the place MORE rowdy. Whatever it takes to make that place as loud as possible Im all for it. Definitely helped to an undefeated season at home that year.
Thats fine if you dont want to drink, that means more for me and my degenerate friends.
GO MARQUETTE
Notre Dame is French for OUR B!TCH - be on the look out for Grabo's shirts this weekend ladies.
-
Oh and please dont tell me the DANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN FITTTTTTTZZZZZZZZZZZZZZGERRRRRRRALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLD! chant is gone, if we lose that what more do we have?
PS - if you go to the game on Saturday, spirit fingers during free throws gotta go, its all about the thumbs up
-
Could not agree more than with the above two posts. And for those of you that are complaining about the price of beer at the BC the cups are either 20 or 24 oz. So when you pay 3.50 at the bar for beer is it such a rip off then? As a "young" alumnus I can even afford it.
-

I'm not complaining about the price of beer, nor am I criticizing those who are perpetually double-fisting ... I just prefer to watch the game sober, and I don't understand how that apparently makes me less of a fan in the eyes of some.
-

I love That Guy! Another great shirt of yours is the Marquette thumbs up, Cincinnati middle finger.
We need more of those guys and Grabowskis out there.

tribby, im sorry but the combination of mainstream media and the george bush administration has brainwashed this country to look down on people that do not alter their mental state with some sort of chemical in any form. you are fighting a losing battle. ha
i blame the schools
-
Grabowski and I talked about making more shirts for this game but then we realized we arent college students anymore.....Meaning: if we are selling those shirts and someone doesnt agree with them knowing our luck we would get arrested for peddling.
We went so far as to even see how much a license cost so we could sell outside the BC. Definitely would have cut into the profits. we have our shirts and will be sporting them on saturday.
Grabo - think of some better ideas that wont get us arrested
-
I am the fro'ed out one in the first couple rows. Have been in 106 the past two years and the first row of 224 prior to that. I may be one of the ppl you are claiming thinks he's better than the others because I try to start cheers when the cheerleaders aren't and try to get the rest of the crowd going. I don't see myself as better than other fans, I just try to do my part to get the rest of the crowd into it. I also made the trip to ND last year and would have been at Depaul as well had my RA responsibilities not restricted me from going. I don't appreciate our group being called out for such things as people thinking we have power trips. We are there to enjoy the game and I am there to try and get others involved in cheering. Call me a douche if you feel so inclined, whatever.
I am also 20 and not of legal drinking age as are some of the others who have seats down there with myself and that is one reason you don't see us drinking. It's kinda hard for the boxing brothers to hold a beer and some of us, myself included, would rather see the game sober than drink 2 or 3 or more beers from the BC.

Wow statements like this take me back to Schroeder and then back to McCormick how thankful I am for my freshman year (2nd Semester) RA. Made it all possible.

I thought the shirt was the index finger showing MU is #1 and then on the back the cincinnati and the middle finger...could be wrong though!
But in fact we need more grabowskis out there, guy is hilarious...i remember him coming down the stairs from the UWM game (and i quote):
"who won i was in the bathroom...couldn't get out, the zipper got stuck"
-
And his loud voice in the front row was always key, I think the refs really heard him when he would shout "GET OFF YOUR KNEES REF YOU'RE BLOWING THE GAME"
I mean who else is going to dress up like the Hamburglar and go to a game? What was the connection of us dressing like Ronald McDonald and the Hamburglar, I couldnt tell ya. The answer could only be the real theme of this thread....BEER.

"Beer, the cause of and solution to all of life's problems!!!"
atleast ronald and the hambuglar had a sign that said "Marquette Basketball... I'm Lovin' It."

i knew some of those winners down there were RAs! shocker!

Close but I had the wig on and everything. It was classic. I think I still have the costume in a bag somewhere.
-
I'm the only one honestly! And now I'm not, stopped after a year and a half. I also see how that has any relevance to what we're talking about. I can't say how the RA's that you had treated you or how they enforced the rules but it isn't the same across the board. Chunken was my resident as were others that post here. Ask them about myself if you really think I'm that much of a stuck up prick! It's ppl that post crap like that which make these boards seem to have gone right down the crapter. We're supposed to start discussion about the team, the games, the atmospheres. I don't see why the personal bashing is necessary.
-
Maybe Im in the minority but I don't see the point in bashing people who are there cheering every game. Im a senior now and every other year I have not been in 106, choosing rather to get there an hour before the game so I could get lowers. This being my last year I decided to come down early for game and have been sitting in the front row. I resent the notion that I am "uppity" because I sit in the front row.
In response to some other criticism. I do indeed drink at the games, albeit not to get hammered I save that for the bars after, I prefer to remember the games. I also have been to numerous road games including Madison and NC for the tourney.
Like I said there is no reason to critisize people who get there early, it is totally pointless. If you don't like it fine but there is no reason to voice it. This entire thread is ridiculous.
-
It's not personal bashing, I see it as more of suggestions. And anyways, we were talking about beer and that guy and that ronald mcdonald costume. You brought it back up
-
I have sat there in the past, but haven't at all this year. Unless you're going to the game with only one or two other people you still have to get there early. If the price of beer was half of what it is that would be fine but now you would either have to be willing to spend an extra $14 to sit in 106 or lose your buzz, which is also pretty terrible. Plus the view in 106 isn't the best. In the other sections only a really tall person will obstruct your view, but in 106 just about anyone in front of you can block your view.
Most of the students in 106 are devoted fans who like being in that section and are the loudest fans in the place. But I will agree some think they are better. I know during the campout games last year, despite numerous security and police there, some of them found the need to direct others on how to line up and how they should behave, which really got on the nerves of a lot of other students.
I just went to talk to a friend who had camped out and they got all jittery and nervous because I was standing near them... give me a break
Plenty of the kids in 106 are jittery and nervous all the time.

Oh man, that's classic.
-
i typically have at least one beer at a game, or go and get a coke and put a little of "grandpa's cough syrup" into it. however i dont feel like drinking at the game dictates your worth as a fan. rather it shows what kind of MU student you are- drinker or nondrinker.
whose to say that they are not drinking in their tents of getting bombed before they went to the game. this show the smarts of MU kids. Getting drunk at home costs less then two large MGD's at the BC. it is clear that these kids are all economics majors.
-
We are by no means rating how big of a fan you are by how many beers you drink. We are rating how big of a man you are by how many beers you drink.
Yeah thats right im "That Guy" walking around with a stack of 5 cups in the second half.

I don't have the bladder to pull that off unfortunately. And I certainly don't want all the Wisconsin creeps checking out my junk in the bathrooms. It's happened twice since 2004. I know it's good, but let me do my business.
-
I really don't see the point of this thread. You're saying that people in 106 feel they are more important and don't drink. Both are wrong, some of us just choose to spend our $7 before or after on more than one cup of beer, some aren't 21/don't have fakes, and I don't think a single person would think they feel more important (well most of us who usually sit down there at least, some people do just sit there to get on camera). We just like the seats and getting there early, if we aren't there early for any reason then we just sit somewhere else, do you still dislike us then? Its just odd seeing fans put down other fans, we all cheer for the same team so why does it matter how anyone does their cheering? (well except for that one drunk girl in 106, she needs to stop before someone goes blind from having to witness that) I'd worry less about fans that have no outcome on such things as turnovers by our team and our shooting percentage rather than the actual issues with our team or the positives.

106 is probably the best angle or proximity to be on one of the cameras.
i dont understand how some people get their rocks off by being on the jumbotron.
hardcore fans drive down 15 or 20 hours and sacrifice their final grades to watch their
team play in the final four in new orleans.

I would say many college student cannot afford such an adventure, but as we know some students are more well off than other according to posted pictures.
-
the point was driving 20 hours, not buying an elaborate costume and jumping in front of a television camera.

Driving 20 hours is hardly a challenge. While NOLA is only a 15 hour drive, I don't know what you were smoking on the way down there.
I've spent more than 20 hours waiting to get inside for two Wisconsin games. What's the point? It's hardly a feat.

I would also like to state that 106 is hardly on the Jumbotron.

Can I ask a simple question? One of the things I'm probably most proud of is instituting the General Admission policy for students back in 1998-99. In fact some posters here were students then and very instrumental in helping to make that a reality.
So here's my question....my assumption is that section 106 is part of the general admission seating area is it not? Are you guys saying the same people every single game, every single year have been in 106? Or at least most of them? How is this possible unless these same people get there each game hours ahead of time before anyone else.
Just asking...thanks.

It's general admission. It's just generally the same people come times when people have to actually wait outside. Over break the section has been sketchy, with other people in it.
For the most part the same 70% of students are in the section. Mix in another 30% of random freshmen and Freeway, and you have 106.

I can't believe I just wasted all that time reading this thread. Pointless. Anyone care about the game Saturday?

I thought the thread was hilarious. Feel free to visit any of the ND related threads for insight on the game. Generally, when talking about subjects people put that in what we call the 'Subject' line. From there people generally discuss that 'Subject Topic'.
For example, 'Who will stop Luke Harangody' is discussing the gameplan around ND's best player, Luke Harangody.
'DJ update?' is the discussion about the status of DJ for Saturday's game.
'Section 106' is for discussing Section 106. If you had no interest, most people can determine that it does not interest them, thus they look elsewhere for the discussion that they would like to partake in.
If you have any other concerns about how a message board operates, feel free to ask!

It's general admission. It's just generally the same people come times when people have to actually wait outside. Over break the section has been sketchy, with other people in it.
For the most part the same 70% of students are in the section. Mix in another 30% of random freshmen and Freeway, and you have 106.
Interesting. Our goal in going to that system and abolishing the class seniority model was to improve student participation. I have no doubt in my mind that this worked to various degrees. The most rabid fans would get their early and be there often. In addition, it incentivized Freshmen, Sophomores and Juniors to actually bother showing up and not feeling like they would have crap seats until they were Seniors. Of course, the seniors that year weren't too thrilled with us.
I didn't imagine, however, that the same core group would be there time and time again. Early bird gets the worm I suppose, but I was somewhat hopeful there would be a pretty good turnover there. At the same time, if these students are getting their early enough to grab those seats, more power to them.

I'm the only one honestly! And now I'm not, stopped after a year and a half. I also see how that has any relevance to what we're talking about. I can't say how the RA's that you had treated you or how they enforced the rules but it isn't the same across the board. Chunken was my resident as were others that post here. Ask them about myself if you really think I'm that much of a stuck up prick! It's ppl that post crap like that which make these boards seem to have gone right down the crapter. We're supposed to start discussion about the team, the games, the atmospheres. I don't see why the personal bashing is necessary.
You were the worst RA ever and one of the worst fans of MU Bball in my opinion.
..Just Kidding!
MUWarrior87 is a good guy... he isn't stuck up! I sat with him many times last year in 224 and I had a great time. He was one of the people who really got my interested in MU Bball. I mean, seriously, imagine how hard it is to convince a Freshman to go to the BC at 6 AM in December to wait for a seat for the MU v. UW game. Unfortunately, this year I have had to show up to games at all sorts of times due to classes and work, so I have sat all over the place, otherwise I would probably try to sit in 106.
As for the drinking vs. not drinking at games debate - I don't think either makes you a better or worse fan. I personally don't like being intoxicated too much for big games (I like to really follow the action), but for those cupcakes sometimes you've gotta find a way to make 'em interesting ;)
-
OK, here is how i see it...
1) yes there are kids that sit in section 106 that act like they are better than other fans.
2) it's very simple for a select few to ruin the image for all, we discuss that on here all the time about ND fans, perception is a b!tch deal with it.
3) That Guy is quickly becoming one of the best posters on here, atleast he keeps it real
4) Why are we not allowed to critique fans? some say you can't because they are there trying to help the team win... Then why do people on here get to critique the players, they too are kids trying to help the team win.
5) beer plays an important part of the game for some, not so much for others. I for one feel it is important especially during those games diener's senior year when he was out injured. i spent way more money on beer during those games.
6) 106 does not have a good view unless you call seeing the game through Male-leaders megaphones good.
7) the only time i have realized I'm agreeing with marqptm is when he explained how a message board works... well said, if you don't like the subject... don't read.
8) boy, that grabowski kid really must have got his zippered jammed to miss the 2nd half of the UWM game.
9) Go Marquette, kick some Irish ass
10) can i hear more from "that guy" and talltitan better get the students doing the dannnnn fitzzzz-geralddddd yell this saturday.

i believe Dean Martin best summed up the importance on drinking when he said...
"I feel sorry for people who don't drink. When they wake up in the morning, that's as good as they're going to feel all day."
Umm... that's my signature, I'm pretty sure it was Sinatra.
marqptm if it is sinatra then im sorry, however there are quite a few sources that list it as dean martin. i have included one for your review... http://www.quotesandpoem.com/quotes/showquotes/author/dean-martin/25182 (http://www.quotesandpoem.com/quotes/showquotes/author/dean-martin/25182)

i was sitting in the section behind 106 for the providence game. drunk girl was obnoxious and somehow got a head poster which she was holding up when she shouldnt have been.
anyway, i noticed 3 guys sitting in that section who had their camera phones out pointed right at her. i wonder if the guy on the board who has video of her was one of those guys.
by the way, this thread is absolutely ridiculous. and some of you guys expect way too much out of women, especially judging the way most of you look. that is all.

I know I found her attractive. I'm not sure if it was her obnoxious drunken behavior, those hot dance moves, or all that cushin' for the pushin' but I'm definitely leaving the Notre Dame game with her.

I have a great idea. Why don't all students start to sit anywhere EXCEPT Section 106 so that the LAST people to show up, who are CLEARLY the WORST fans (that is not a serious statement) have to sit in that section and are the stuck up people. And so that I can come in whenever I want and get a great seat to the game...I don't mind being viewed as stuck up by a bunch of people who don't know a thing about me except that I sit in a section close to the floor.
"Be who you are and say what you want because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind."

the point was driving 20 hours, not buying an elaborate costume and jumping in front of a television camera.
Driving 20 hours is hardly a challenge. While NOLA is only a 15 hour drive, I don't know what you were smoking on the way down there.
I've spent more than 20 hours waiting to get inside for two Wisconsin games. What's the point? It's hardly a feat.
Do you expect someone on here to come find you and pat you on the back for trying to sound like you're a big deal because you stood outside for a few games?
I am glad I started this post because it's just proving that the people in 106 really do feel like they are better than the rest of us. You all know who each other are and call other people "sketchy" who only sit there once or twice a year. What a bunch of d-bags.
-
I tried to stay out of this pissing match, but I gotta put my two cents in. I sat in 106 every single game for four years. I met a lot of great people who were regulars in that section, I also enjoyed having a group of friends to go to the games with. There are some great fans in 106, they get there very early, game in and game out, that's dedication. There are great fans all over the student section.
The gameday thing was something MU was not prepared for. I guess you could count me as one of the "d-bags" trying to keep an eye on the line, because for most of the time there was only one DPS officer there. The officer that was there wanted to have a few students help her out, as there were 400+ students and one officer. The BC did not let us wait on grounds, we went and asked the Arena security if we could wait across the street, and they agreed as long as we were on the sidewalk. There were two issues- most importantly keeping people safe since there were a lot of drunk people wandering onto State St. Second, we wanted to make sure things were somewhat orderly when it came to getting people across the street when the time came to line up. Gwaki and I spoke with BC security and DPS and got them to call more DPS and MPD officers over to make sure everything went smoothly and no one who was there early got screwed. If that makes us "d-bags," fair enough.
I really don't understand the hostility with some people here. If you think the people in 106 are stuck-up and you don't want to sit there, that's great. Cheer your ass off in another section and get others to do the same. I'll be doing that in Section 428, with a cold Miller product in hand.

I'm 99% sure you aren't the guy people are calling out.

Where did the idea of wearing costumes come from? I just don't understand it, unless you're trying to get on the jumbotron, which seems a colossal waste of energy.
By the way, the WORST costume I've ever seen at an MU game is the one TallTitan wears. How embarrassing.

i was not saying that you had to find her attractive. im just saying all the guys calling her fat....i dont think she was fat at all, she was probably about average for her height. you guys all seem to have ridiculous expectations of women, while most of you guys in 106 are scrawny with hardly any muscle.
i prefer to sit in the upper deck of the student section to be honest. i never had 4+ hours in a day to devote to waiting in line, so i always show up 20 minutes before game time. the upperdeck is the best because you have a view of everything on the court and your view isnt blocked by people in front of you.

to each his own.
and prn, agreed!! ;D what is TT thinking wearing that thing?!?

Are you serious? You asked arena security if you could stand on a public sidewalk across the street from the BC which they have nothing to do with and they actually said YES? Man that is amazing, I would've guessed it would've been something more along the lines of, "I don't give a crap whatever you guys do as long as its not on BC property". This teachers pet, brown nosing attitude is what people are questioning.

best seat in the house... second level, first row. reason: foot/beer rests and you dont have to stand the whole time.
while we are judging fans let me ask this... does it make you less of a fan to want to sit and watch the game?
i dont mind standing the whole time, but sometimes you just want to sit and enjoy yourself with of course an ice cold miller product.
-
I do miss the student section, but I definitely do not miss the mass amounts of overhand HJ's that sit down there. Guess what? I was a huge MU fan my 4 years there too and guess what? No one was there waiting for me at the end of it with a plaque or medal to reward me for all my great cheering. I can honestly say I think some of the kids in 106 act that way just to be acknowledged. And that is why I am not going to post again, bc I dont feel the need to acknowledge someone who claims they are a huge fan by how many minutes they wait outside the BC or by how many miles they drive to see the team. We are all alumni or students, we are all fans.
I am going to be with my friends at the game, friends I love watching the game with who all believe the more beers we drink the bigger the fans we are.....and that is how you truly measure this debate. Not by miles or minutes.
Im done reading all of this crap, I just wasted 10 more minutes of my day. If you want to talk to me ill be the drunk jerk walking around the BC tomorrow with my "French for Our B!tch" tshirt on and yelling DANNNNNNNN FITZZZZZZZZZGERAAAAAAALLLLDD" from the tank.

I want to modify this statement because i think you missed possible the best line ever: "and that is how you truly measure this debate. Not by miles or minutes, but by Millers."

oh put us out of our misery and lock this thread please!

oh put us out of our misery and lock this thread please!
why because you aren't enjoying it... then don't read. when will posters learn. obviously some people like voicing their opinion based on the fact we are on page 4. sorry guys from now on, please check with mufan924 before starting a thread to see if we can use it.

its a guilty pleasure watching all of this hostility. no need to consult with me but thanks for the offer!

Going to sum up some points that can be stated as facts:
1.) Section 106 does not have a good view. It is for people that want to see people come out of the tunnel, touch Tom Crean, and possibly seem more important.
2.) Waiting outside does not make you a better fan. Traveling to NOLA does not make you a better fan. Drinking at the Bradley Center does not make you a better fan. Dancing drunkly with your thong sticking out does not make you a better fan. Wearing a costume, headdress, or making a sign does not make you a better fan. Holding up a big head does not make you a better fan.
3.) I believe do believe fans that post on here or other message boards could be considered better fans. They have actively talked and read about MU Hoops on their free time (or work time). Thoughts?
In no way do I think I'm a best fan ever, I'm not. I don't even have student tickets this year. I have instead been able to get student tickets here and there. I have also been able to use some alumni tickets as well, and being able to sit and watch the game is the way I would rather watch the game with a $7 Miller Lite in the other hand of course.
-
You asked arena security if you could stand on a public sidewalk across the street from the BC which they have nothing to do with and they actually said YES?
I should have made that more clear. We spoke with the security at the Cell/Auditorium, and their answer was that we had to stay on the sidewalk and off their property as well.

1.) Section 106 does not have a good view. It is for people that want to see people come out of the tunnel, touch Tom Crean, and possibly seem more important.
It's a good view when you are over 6' and can see over everyone. Otherwise its true, you can't see anything.

Wow, this conversation is fascinating! Nothing like pissing contest about who is the biggest kind of fan. If you have made any kind of argument about what you have done, or where you sit to "prove" your MU fandom, you struggle at life.
Just be grateful that you live in the area so you can go to games and not have to hook up a laptop to a TV and suffer through Mike Kelley* making a complete ass of himself. "Look at Larry Davis, I'm sure no one had to curb their enthusiasm on that play"
*Pius XI grad, surprise

I wasn't at that game, and I heard that line. I almost instantly crapped my pants.
