The Syracuse fans on the streamcast were out of control...

[ecompt]

what complete turds. It started with rips on DJ (when someone pointed out DJ was well-spoken, one of the SU morons said, "Yeah, he'll be able to say 'You want fries with that?'" and gradually got worse. I guarantee DJ is light years ahead academically of virtually the entire SU roster. This is a school that produced Pearl Washington, Derrick Coleman and Carmelo Anthony (6 credits). Their fans live in a cesspool, their city is an armpit and their team plays in a giant domed toilet.

I know you are a smart, considerate man, ecompt, so you must have been really ticked at the Syracuse crowd to describe them as "complete turds."

Loudmouth, boorish, overly confident college students comment all the time on people or topics about which they know little or nothing.

If the comments are racially insensitive or blatantly racist, you know they are coming from a bunch of squirrelly dorks who are talking tough through their keyboards.

They are writing what they would never have the stones to say publicly.

That may be the first time anyone has called me "smart and considerate" on any message board. Thanks. I was upset because taking what I thought to be racial rips at an injured player who has done nothing but been a terrific ambassador for MU was uncalled for.

[gjreda]

Agreed.  I... umm... knew the person hosting the stream and at one point he didn't think there were any MU fans left, so he was going to shut it down.  Too bad Ustream doesn't allow you to boot people from the chat otherwise he would have.

I'm sure not all SU fans are like that, but that was the poorest representation of any university or fanbase that I have ever seen.  They made Pitt look classy.

The DJ stuff was early on when DJ was doing some analysis on the broadcast. Then the clowns really got out of control down the stretch.

The Syracuse fans sitting around us were the most obnoxius of any I've ever been around at the BC, except for maybe Louisville.  It was like they had never tasted beer before.

[muhoops1]

I sat next to an SU alum at the Villanova/Cuse game during the BET.  His girlfriend left him asleep in the second half with a full beer in his hand.  Guy was a raging D-bag.  Also had an encounter with a stumbling Cuse student from Milwaukee 2 years ago.  Guy was a D-bag.  Most everyone I know that went to SU is a D-bag.  My assumption is that they are all D-bags.  That is my Jesuit education at its best.

[MilWarrior]

Sounds like these guys were total d-bags. I do have to say there was an awesome SU alum at Goolsby's today. Quite gracious in victory and very knowledgeable.

In theory, Ustream does indeed allow you to ban people from the chat.  If you search the help .. there are commands to boot, ban, etc.  I tried it a few times, but I couldn't tell if it was working or not, as it didn't give any feedback/status when you executed the command.

In any event .. I've often thought of disallowing chat on streams.  There's an added amount of anonymity that allows a ton of people to let loose their inner d-bag.

I watched that stream, but I hit the "open in popup window" option and did not have the chat box.  I have found over the season that the chat box is a distraction for me while watching the game and occasionally, causes me to want to respond which really distracts from the game.

And it's not like these were young guys either. I saw a bunch of 40+ year olds acting like frat boys. Embarrassing really.

+2. 

The ones that were in the upper deck were an absolute embarassment.  One of the guys I saw basically tried to pick a fight with anyone that was wearing gold. 

Devendorf deserved to be booed when he got "hurt".  I'm usually not a fan of booing a guy when he's injured, but that was a clear flop, and he completely oversold it as an "injury".  If I'm an MU fan, I'd be embarassed to have such trash as part of the program.  But when you have guys like Flynn and Rick Jackson on your roster, I guess it's par for the course for them. 

What Cincy was to CUSA is now what Syracuse is to the Big East.

The Syracuse fans at the game were by far the most classless bunch I have run into at a game.

[ecompt]

Pearl Washington. Derrick Coleman. Carmelo. Devendorf. That's all you need to know about Syracuse.
