Mr Smith can jump around in line getting a beer if he really wants.  Does he still fly the Warrior flag outside of his office at half mast after a loss?

Oh. No. You. Didn't.

I'm embarrassed you consider yourself a fan.  That's what's embarrassing.  Did you get rejected by a bando once?

Also--hey Neanderthals, checkout the back of the pocket/wallet schedule and THEN tell me R. A. Smith is lame.  He can jump around in his underpants for all I care, the guy is a stud and class act and clearly has a passion for MU bball, something I hope all of you share (or is that too radical to suggest?).  Those of you who are over 50 please consult your local GI, you're overdue for an intimate evening with your porcelain friend evacuating a jug of Golytely.  Those of you under 50, for God's sake if you can't say anything nice, then don't!  You don't have to like it, but you also don't have to tear it down. 

As for this dude from Mad-town, Who Cares?  I remember Jump Around best/originally from Mrs. Doubtfire fame, go figure.

Woot! Go Pride! Haha, you're adorable.

Come on, Chicos, don't tease us like that! Share ;D

He basically said that Wesley never refused to talk to him, it was OTHER reporters in Madison.  He also said MU fans need to get over themselves.  That was about it.

Rick Smith rocks.  He is probably ready to let it go, but how?  He gets the students wound up...even many alumni get going....

Rick Smith x 1000 cooler than the lame ass Spanish O'Donnell's...

The Spanish O'Donnell's also have their followers. Doesn't make them any less lame.

I'm more embarrassed whenever they show the band.


The band isn't bad...except they got to get rid of the 80s era rugby shirts.  I mean...come on...

(Of course when I was there in the 80s, they still wore sweaters and beret-like-hats.)

Would McIlvaine then have to get a new shirt as well?

Catholic University student sections are always cringe-worthy in general (Notre Dame, Nova, GTown), but the bands are by the far the worst offenders.

So wait ... is this guy somehow claiming that the concept of jumping around during the song "Jump Around" was invented by the fine folk in Madison? Huh? Did they also invent twisting and shaking during "Twist and Shake?" It seems following the lyrical directions of a popular music song is hardly the most inventive act out there, but if that's the best they got, so be it. Of course, these are the same people who brought us "The Grateful Red," so there you have it.

Regardless, the reaction/notoriety he's getting from this is exactly the kind of attention small-town hacks like this crave.

Do they play Zombie Nation during times out at the Kohl Center?  If they do like, every other sports arena with a PA system, I guess that means Bucky ripped off an MU original that started at the BC in 2002.

I think she said:

A. She is essentially ashamed to know anyone from this board since the primordial types here do not respect "The Jumper"

B. Band Members would be loath to date anyone from Scoop and their rejection has triggered aberrant behavior witnessed here

C. "The Jumper" has a more profound passion for MU Basketball than anyone on Scoop

D. Those over 50 are full of Sh1t and in need of a thorough colon cleansing

E. Those under 50 need to shut the f up

UW should sue the Bears...I can't believe they would dare play the song that UW has exclusive rights to.

Well Badger fans might find some of that stuff to be funny. It's extremely unprofessional for a sportswriter of a larger newspaper to be posting stuff like that.

By this logic, one could state that UW-Madison is run by racists

To shine a little light on why the student section loves the "jump around guy" is due to the fact he looks like Ron Burgundy in Anchorman.  I was at the first game he started jumping and everyone immediately started quoting lines from Anchorman.

As for Jump Around song, IMO, it is a Madison thing, but it is now an arena staple that you will hear even at Wave games.

Just my two cents from a young alumnus.
