Lucky, Odd, Funny, Annoying Routines When Watching MU Games

[Skitch]

BRAT STOP!

Visited the Brat Stop once about 10-15 years ago and witnessed someone being murdered in the parking lot so I kind of consider that place bad luck and haven't been back.

Had a patty melt there that I really enjoyed though.

[sailwi]

A murder in the parking lot would put a damper on any place but he brats are pretty good.

You cats are all too traditional and a bunch of old farts. My wife and I have wild monkey sex if we're leading at halftime and twice during Buzz' postgame show with Homer and Mac.

so you're saying you're non-traditional?

2 seconds to the hole and can't shoot it deep?

[Henry Sugar]

File this one under annoying

Our dog sits and relentlessly stares at us during every Marquette game, making that whimpering/upset noise that dogs do when they want to go outside or eat.  Except that we try putting him outside (doesn't want that) or making sure he has been fed (he has).  If we lock him in his room or where his food is, the dog knocks against the door or barks to get out.  But he only does this during Marquette games... not other TV shows... not other sporting events.  He even does it during games like Texas Southern. 

Ever had anything stare at you and whine for an hour and a half?  I hate that dog during Marquette games, especially the tense ones.

Poor doggie.  It's probably that he knows you are excited/stressed/anxious/upset and he is responding to it.

I had a neighbor who had a black lab.  All he had to do is go up to her and say her name in a disappointed-sounding voice  and she would start crying, even though she had no clue what was wrong.

Who does she spend halftime with if we're losing?

[BrewCity83]

Rick Pitino.

[Spotcheck Billy]

It sounds like we should have a rummage sale with all of the unlucky Marquette gear the superstitious people have retired.

[MarquetteDano]

When watching games on tv and if we get down by 10+ points I change the channel for like 5 seconds and then change it right back to the game.  My wife must think I am having a nervous breakdown.

Not me.  I don't feel like we have a chance in a game until we get down by 10+ points. 

[WayOfTheWarrior]

We have a system in the pepband. 

Made basket - high five
Dunk - double high five
Three-pointer - make half of a three goggle and swipe your three fingers against someone else's
                     (the term is called 'threeing' someone)
Made Free throw - one fist pound
Two Free Throws - double fist pound
Rare three free throws in a row - double fist pound to explosion
Shot Clock Violation - gunshot to wristwatch to tsa pat-down
Blocked shot - throw back your head and wiggle your shoulders

But yeah, I yell constantly at home games. When I watch the game at home I always stand and talk to the players through the screen like a brainchild, especially if junior is having one of his turnover frenzy games. Love my golden Eagles!

If combined with a fish face, you are doing the "cubillan"

Last season, we weren't hitting on all cylinders till we were down by 20.

I was going to be clever and post an image from Googling "wild monkey sex" but I regret even doing so.

No, but Rocky has.   It was chico. 

[wyzgy]

I have to get BC nachos every game.

not really considered a food group although the jalopenos are a vegie

[slingkong]

Also apparently whatever I do when watching road games scares my 80 pounds dog because he will hide outside the whole game and only come back in when the game is over.

Similarly, neither of my dogs (almost 300 lbs total) will stay in the room with me for more than the first few minutes.

I am prone to temper tantrums if my wife asks me a question at the wrong time during a game or, god forbid, has the temerity to ask me to reach something in a cabinet or something.

[Knight Commission]

I used to yell.  Loudly.  A lot.  Loud cheering when I could.  Yelled at the refs when I thought they missed a call or made a bad call.  I once had a cute little girl, sitting directly in front of me, turn around and ask me to tone it down as I was hurting her ears.  Simultaneously precious and embarrassing.   

Were you the f..ker that was screaming f bombs in front of kids during most of the entire first half of the NC game in Newark?

[Blackhat]

Who wasn't dropping f bombs that game?   Kids included.

[Benny B]

Really.  After all, it's Newark... if you don't drop an f-bomb once every ten minutes you'll get your a$$ kicked.  Kids included.

[dgies9156]

        1) On televised games, I yell so loud that my wife and children leave the room. Especially when one of our players looks like he's still in high school.
   
        2) At the Bradley Center, I always look for THE Banner dating to 1977.

        3) When they play the "Remember the Titans" video, I cheer Al and boo TV Tommy for the way he left Marquette.

        4) I say a short prayer to the great Jesuit in the sky (no, not Father Raynor) that there will NEVER again be a game like last year's Vanderbilt home game or 1978's Miami of Ohio tournament game!
