I just want to send the props out to the student body for representing Marquette fans on opening night. In all my years of attending MU season openers I have never seen the student section as large and energetic as they were at last friday nights game.
With this big week ahead of us let's pull together our friends and family and muster up your golden pride and really make the student section the best 6th man country.
Keep it up and cheer load.
We are Marquette!!!
I appreciate the sentiment, but "your golden pride?????"
C'MON MAN!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fhCks3bvTdA (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fhCks3bvTdA)

The official ale of Marquette basketball?
By the way, that was "Breaking Bad" superfan jsglow jr. waving around the new Heisenberg noggin. Almost as big of a thrill for him as meeting RJ Mitte (Walt Jr.) the week before the finale.

Stone Cellar?
Great bar.
The student section was awesome. Excited Frosh were pouring out of McCormick at 5:00 pm and by 5:30 pm the line at the BC was fairly long. After the doors opened and the seats filled, the Eagle's Nest Superfans led '6th Man Boot Camp' so Frosh would know the cheers. By game time, the kids had nearly filled the upper deck and 'I Believe' and the ticket toss, etc. went off perfectly.
I contrast that showing with many of the season ticket holders who again couldn't be bothered to show up for a non conference opening game on Friday night or be in their seats when the championship banner got unveiled at 6:55 pm. If you live within 100 miles of the BC and missed the game for anything other than an important family commitment...
And if you weren't there, I'd think long and hard before bitching about the students on scoop again.

Props as well to the students as they showed up in force for an opening "buy" game. Of course, it was a Friday nite and I don't suspect we'll see that kind of turnout tomorrow nite for the Grambling game. Now for the OSU game on Saturday, I expect there should be no empty seats in the northeast corner of the BC....!

.... or in the rest of the BMO Bradley. I'm hoping that we end up with a Top 10 all time attendance mark although that may be tough to do this early in the season.

I opted for the women's soccer semifinals in the Valley. With Morrison Stadium in the conference, it might be a while before MU gets to host that event again.
All I ever want from the student section is to just show up.

Good to know. I haven't been there since last Christmas. Definitely my kind of place. Very cozy atmosphere with great beer and food.
By the way....
Best seats for tOSU are currently 404 Row P. So plenty of room for you up in the corners. Hope to see everyone there.
Not gonna lie - I have been hoping the ripped-off 'We Believe' cheer would die a very quick death.

Probably when you re enroll at MU and start showing up super early to games so that you control the cheers.

Beg to differ PTM. The Eagle's Nest Superfans DO control most of the cheers. I won't mention any of the guys/girls by name but the current and recently graduated crop have done a lot for the overall student section and everyone there knows it. Moreover, those guys absolutely welcome and encourage newbie Freshmen. It's not like the Eagle's Nest is reserved for upperclassmen although I do think that there are a few modest privileges granted.

Yeah, the fringe fans will be watching college FB on the tube.
Here's MU's original 'I Believe' from the 2012 GTown classic. Kudos to those that initiated the effort. It was no small organizational undertaking. Some are still undergrads on campus today.

In the long history of college basketball, there is still no finer cheer than the guy in the top row who would yell, "Give 'em hell, Al!" at the end of the National Anthem in a darkened Arena. Nothing expressed the zeitgeist better. Uniquely Marquette.

Truly unique Marquette. Those games at the Arena were also special as only the floor was lit so the stands were dark. Made for great theatrical effect..

As a student for 4 years that actually cared about the product on the floor and not for jumping around like a dope or doing stupid chants the whole game I hated the Marquette cheer masters. Being able to watch the game without having to worry about that crap anymore is quite enjoyable IMO.

We're the only school in the entire nation - perhaps in the entire history of college basketball - to chant "automatic" during one of our own player's every FT attempt. Does that count?

I have a t-shirt that says that. Bought it from some enterprising students at a tourney game in '76 or '77. Royal blue with "Give 'em hell, Al!" in gold script. One of my favorite MU souvenirs ever.

Are you kidding? Participation is part of the experience. "Jumping around like a dope", getting loud, cheering your tail off - it's all in good fun and it adds to the home court advantage. Why not watch on tv if you're just going to sit there quietly?

Please ignore most of the old guys complaining. I, for one, am glad when the students do anything to make noise and sound like fans. when i was a senior we walked in at tip with beers and subs in our pockets and sat in the 12th row.
who cares if a cheer is copied. most are. We are Marquette is done by, i bet, 100s of colleges and high schools with 2 syllable names.
i do love this idea. right at the end of the anthem, the whole student section yelled. sweet.

We brought them from the dorms, and now that I think about it, I think it stopped when I had to start paying for toilet paper.
What would the memo to students be for throwing of toilet paper rolls? Memo prediction contest? ;D
Yeah, the few games that I go to a year, I cheer when we score, get loud when the other team has the ball or are shooting free throws. I'm just there to have fun, didn't know it was so complicated that we have to have organized cheers and stuff like that. I don't like thinking too much I guess.
Hey everyone,
First time poster. I've been reading on here for quite sometime and decided to join. I graduated from MU 5 years ago and just moved back to Milwaukee. Excited to be back. My buddy got student tickets for the game on Saturday. I've talked to some people who are students, but they always show up just as the game is starting. SO my question is, does anybody know how early I should get there if I want to sit lower level in the student section?

Really depends on the game. My judgement is a little skewed because I have never been higher then the 3rd row right behind the basket.

I frankly don't care for them either. They carry themselves like they have some authority or that their position as "cheer master" actually means something. The fact that they did that jumbo-tron message really irked me. They're the last people that would get me motivated. Hahaha.

Bull. I got to the Wisco Game last year forty minutes before the tip and got nice seats in the lower bowl. Sat in the other bleachers that are behind the band. it honestly changes from game to game. I'll be there about an hour, 1.5 hours before tip.
Sorry for not combining all those into one.

I was in the 400 section o my season ticket...and when it came to unveiling the flag my seat was on the side of the flag and blocked me from seeing it.
I do not think it was even on the scoreboard so I could see it...that ticked me off. I was looking around for 30 seconds trying to find out where it was and by the time I learned it was in section 403 or so I missed it.
I did see all the gold shirts in the upper deck and I liked how they at one time almost scared me out of my seat when one of the opposing players was on the free throw line and they jumped up all at once in perfect unison and it was impressive. I think the kid hit the free throw though...

Hey don't hate on us drunk kids some of us get there super early! In fact I guarantee this drunk kid will be in line before you even, drunk from closing the Brat House or Buckheads and taking care of my munchies with some George Webbs but still there nonetheless.

I couldn't go super early to the Madison game last year because I was bouncing at Brothers was so disappointed. I'll probably bring a foursquare ball just in case. Judging by today's weather it'll be important to keep the blood flowing rather than sitting around.

This just reeks of Ohio State fan, BTW.
I'll never forget my senior year of high school, we had two middle-aged Arizona fans in 106. Awful game.
Salim Stoudamire was benched. Team still consisted of Channing Frye, Hassan Adams, Mustafa Shakur. MU missed a lot of threes if I recall correctly.

Graduated from MU 5 years ago and doesn't know how early you need to be there to get into the lower bowl (hint: about the same time as you did in 2008).
What time do the doors open to the "stadium"???
There are many names you can call Buckeye fans... clever is not one of them. (BTW - this is what happens when OSU automatically admits any applicant who obtained their GED in Ohio).
You see, MU fans are not just clever, we're devious...... do they still print students' names on the tickets? If so, I would have a cheermaster attempt to convince the greenest usher at the BC that they should check the student ID of any OSU-clad fan in the lower bowl because that's MU's policy. And if no one can be convinced, they should be bribed. And the student section should have an orchestrated cheer as said Buckeyes are escorted from the "stadium."

Was that the year that Illinois had that 16 point comeback against them in the Elite 8?
You sir are correct, was actually my freshman year.
The only time that the students made noise was for free queso.
Also, it's funny how seriously the kids in the front row of the student section take themselves. The rest of the student body does a good job ignoring them, imo.
And why would anyone who is in the mid to late 20s want to sit in the student section? Either buy a big boy ticket or watch it on television somewhere.

That's what they call a necessary evil... you can't come back from a TV timeout to a shot of several dozen MU fans talking civilly amongst themselves. When I see that from students at other schools, that's prima facie evidence that no one takes that basketball program seriously.

Likely because it was the cheapest ticket OSU fans could get off Craigslist.

Undoubtedly. But I would still rather watch it in a bar somewhere. At least I hope he's actually a OSU student. Because being a 27 yo OSU fan in the middle of the MU student section is creepy...really creepy.

Taking into account the growing infantilization of adults in present day America, the above seems to fall in line with "normal" behavior.

First of all, guys, which ohio state are we talking about? The school really needs a definite article attached to its name to alleviate the ambiguity.
Benny, were you a philosophy major? I know prima facie isnt necessarily confined to philosophy, but ive only heard it used there. Reminds me of my undergrad days as a phil major.
Well if that guy is a fan of THE Ohio State University, hes just gonna have to deal with all the crap that gets said to him in the student section. Last year there were Badger fans that just got shat on. Also, since the student section is right by opposing team bench all their parents are right there as well. At the Notre Dame game I wasnt saying the nicest things to Cooley, especially since he was having intestinal issues and his mother and sister were none to pleased with me. Got some very harsh looks from them that game.

Does Cooley's mom look like Harangody's mom?

Maybe, I mean Cooley are Harangody are the same person afterall right? The only reason I actually recognized her was because I remember seeing her at a game where my dad was Coaching against Cooley in high school.

No, not a philosophy major; I picked it up from the law jockeys I have to deal with on an all-too-regular basis. Lawyers are great for teaching us two things: 1) Latin and 2) how to derogatorily describe opposing counsel (or his/her arguments) using an acronym.

Thin skinned players' parents who show up to road games are just the best. Loyola was in town right now and the farthest bottom right of the student section is right next to the bench. We were't saying anything derogatory, no curse words or anything. The mom comes up at halftime and tries to yell at us. We laugh and the security makes her go back to their bench, especially knowing we did nothing bad. Those people should probably have a little thicker skinned

How about you step down off of that high horse of yours buddy. Its a college basketball game, not a professional setting.
So many feelings on this board...

Nah. Step off your high horse and swallow your pride. You "super fans" are attention whores that will do anything to get noticed. There is a difference between being passionate and just being a dick, which is what you were by throwing in his mother and sister. Just my two cents. I understand it's a college setting, but respect for our players and the opposing players should be noted.

let's not turn this into a pissing match between students
Graduated from MU 5 years ago and doesn't know how early you need to be there to get into the lower bowl (hint: about the same time as you did in 2008).
What time do the doors open to the "stadium"???
There are many names you can call Buckeye fans... clever is not one of them. (BTW - this is what happens when OSU automatically admits any applicant who obtained their GED in Ohio).
You see, MU fans are not just clever, we're devious...... do they still print students' names on the tickets?

Jesus Christ I was just asking for some information. I'm not a Buckeyes fan. I hate Ohio St. I could talk about MU ball all day whether it be recruits, past players, present players, or whatever. So get off my dick about it moron.

Who gives you the right to decide how everybody should cheer? Did it ever occur to you that those who show up early and cheer like crazy do that because that's how they know how to cheer? The way you are talking you sound like a high school goth kid who thinks that the "preppies" only act a way to get noticed and that you're the only one who knows better. Jeeze man grow up and realize there's different perspectives and because they enjoy cheers doesn't make them "attention whores"

Well this isn't going to end well.
Typically, this is where one throws in a line about "kids today," but he did graduate five years ago and "entitled Millennial college graduates today" seems like borderline "get off my lawn" material, so I'm just going to keep my mouth shut and watch for the big fight in the student section this Saturday.
And by fight, I mean someone should start a "tastes great, less filling" chant. But then again, kids today have no reverence for the classics.
Be nice to each other, br0z.
This thread went from good to great in just one page. Great job, team!

Classics?
I love Plato, Aristotle, and Socrates.
The Republic one of the all time greatest.
Just like anything else in life, 90% of success is showing up. This applies to all of us. We're playing arguably the worst D1 school in CBB tonight...on national tv...hopefully there's a respectable turnout. I can admit I'm not totally excited to watch the game in person, especially if it's gonna run 3 hours.
Yeah I have other things to do. Making sure have time for volleyball and soccer this weekend

When you decide that it's ok to just say an entire group of people are attention whores when having no base for that other than they enjoy cheering I think you made it pretty personal.

The problem is that you have people who enjoy cheering because
a..they have school spirit (like my freshman year friend from down the hall who just LOVED Marquette and was old school that way.)
OR
b...they love to draw attention to themselves. Like that blue man who calls himself the ultimate warrior. (whatever)
I'll agree every day that it's stupid to call himself the ultimate warrior but generalizing and calling everybody attention whores is just not ok.

I said that because there is a fine line between cheering and being obnoxious/yelling "obscene things"/showing no respect whatsoever.
My biggest problem with what you said is that you felt proud or you saw yelling at ND parents in front of their mothers and sisters as some sort of badge of honor. That we should all respect you or look up to you for that. What irked me is the absolute lack of respect that some show.

I didn't see the pregame/first couple minutes of the Ohio State game. Did we ever start the "Give 'em hell, Buzz!" cheer?
Glad to see people giving Lyle crap after all of these years.
