Title: Ghetto Ball
Post by: sailwi on March 20, 2009, 03:57:53 PM
Nice comments on the USU board referencing our play as ghetto ball, this is 2009 isn't it?  I would have hoped those type of comments ended with the passing of Adolph Ruph.

Sad that comments like that are still being made.

That was just one bozo.  Most of the commentary was very complimentary to our play.  Don't let the one guy color your view of all USU fans.

With the horrific lighting of that facility, it almost felt like ghetto ball. There's more lighting in an alley at night than that place. What a joke.

If they had 3 wives that looked like their cheerleaders, I wouldn't mind going home.

congrats guys, for all the chastising, you have now lowered yourself to their level.

I was not chastising at all, I was complimenting!

I'm wondering if somebody can explain why the term "ghetto ball" is derogatory. Isn't it in the interpretation?

I take "ghetto ball" to be an up and down, free wheeling style of play. Isn't that what we play, especially when you compare it to Utah State's game plan today?

Let's relax people!

???  Utah State is one of the 7 schools in the NCAA tourney with a 100% graduation rate.  Just like Marquette.  Poor attempt at knocking them - unless I misunderstood.

That has to just be one a-hole fan's comment. They seemed like a classy crowd today - they clapped for Matthews when he got up from hitting his elbow (or whatever he did).

Agree it was one person's comments but still not appropriate.  Perhaps I am sensative since I read on a regular basis on the Badger board we are "undiciplined".  Racism is expressed many different ways but always not acceptable.

Brush off one fan's comments.....we all have embarassing fans......I wouldn't want to be grouped in with what one person said

What's so bad about Badger boards calling us "undiciplined"? How is that racist???

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Ghetto%20ball

Ghetto ball-Basketball with no official rules, pushing, kicking, punching etc. Whatever it takes to prevent the other person to score. Usually played with 6-10 people.

Well, we don't fall under this definition.  We don't have any 6'10" people.
