Constant booing of Dominic James??  Scott Merritt?  Do others recall this?  I certainly don't.


I remember it in the case of James.  I don't think "constant" is the word I would use to describe it though.

Gardner posted this on Twitter: "we are on our own fellas!!!! nobody aint with us" he later posted "U don't have to believe in me... Cause GOD does... He knows what I can do, he gave it to me!"

Is he calling out the fans here? Because if he is he should keep his mouth shut, twitter can only hurt him in a situation like this. If he's talking about the fans booing than he should man up and deal with it.

The only person that should man up and shut up is you.  I applaud Devante 100%..and Fulce if he made comments calling out MU fans.  The Bradley Center was pretty much quiet throughout most of the game, some boos were launched, and players and coaches read these message boards and are fully aware of the idiotic things that have been getting thrown around.  And we wonder why we might have some 2nd half melt downs?  These kids read a lot of the junk here...and before you know it - they start to believe it...

Boognish_MU

I was embarrassed to be a MU fan last night.  Not because my team didn't win and I had to leave with a loss, but because of the pathetic display and actions of the fans.  Booing your own team on your own home court is terrible.  Booing Vander Blue when he makes a mistake is terrible.  I don't remember being handcuffed to the seat.  If you do not like what you are seeing, leave.  Do not disgrace yourself and the team by booing.  Hopefully this was an isolated incident.

I wonder how this looks to players being recruited.  Not that we will land JP Tokoto, but I will use him as he is local and will probably hear about it.  Would you want to go to a school where you fans boo you for losing a game against a good opponent at home?  What about talking to Vander and asking him about how it feels to be booed after being highly sought after.  I wouldn't want to pick Marquette right now if I was a recruit, if this continues. 

It's a free country and you can really do whatever you want but I think treating these young men with respect and not booing them will be better in the long run.

I'm in the minority, but I want to be heard. As a fan of any team I can be negative about the team and boo them occasionally if I want to. I was at the game, in the student section, and I was booing them, the second half was pitiful and I do believe that the team gave up with about 6 minutes left, that was the disgrace. Lets remember, though these players dont get "paid" they do have a full ride to a great college and I would rather see them playing hard than playing the way they have played. Seriously what is the difference between booing a 21 year old college player and a 23 year old NBA player? And I do take offense when players, like this, try to call out the fans. If Lebron James called out the Heat fans on twitter dont you think it would be a relatively big story on ESPN, and he would apologize? Look the leaders of the team and the more mature ones (DJO, Buykes, Butler) know not to immediately act on their emotions and post something like that, ask Dan Gilbert about it.  No player should ever do it period.

So let me get this straight. 19, 20, 21 year old fans should feel entitled to emotionally react to how their team is performing but 19, 20, 21 year old players should NOT be allowed to have an emotional reaction to their "fans" booing them on their home court when they're busting their asses daily in practice and in games.

A college scholarship is different than an NBA paycheck. Being a student athlete is different than being a pro.

A college scholarship is a big deal and worth alot if you arent going pro *cough* Gardner *cough*. The fans are going to react based on the way the team is performing, that goes for all sports. The players should know to keep their mouths shut and not let/show that the fans are getting to them. Posting stuff like this on facebook and twitter can only cause trouble

Why does no one understand that you undermine your own value as a fan by making this "they get paid, rabble rabble" argument?

By that measure, you have the right to boo, etc because you pay for a ticket.  Yet then thats all you are, is a stockholder in the team by way of having bought in financially.  The notion that the players owe you for your investment and hence can't complain about you as a fan while you can complain about them as a player is woefully misguided. It undermines your nonfinancial investments to the point that you pay for the right to participate. Thats not how it works. 
You pay for the right to watch in person.  You earn the right to feel participatory by watching through the bad times and by suffering and celebrating with a team - all in support.  What if I buy two tickets, do I get to boo more?  The financial investment is not what creates the community that is the basic reason we all flock to a thing like MU basketball.  If you were the only MU fan, would it be as rewarding? Of course not.  When you boo, you become nothing but a free rider, expecting other fans to carry the supportive weight until you get to come back in and jump on the winning bandwagon.

Does it follow any sort of logic that when the student section gets pumped up with a great play or a momentum swing and gets loud, shouldn't they be allowed to get just a little ticked off with some inexcusable turnovers down the stretch?

I think everyone knows that a lot of the student section, win or lose, treat it as a social event. As we saw yesterday, with the game still not out of reach, it emptied rather quickly. I do not condone booing my team unless it is well well deserved. Granted I do not think they deserved it last night but as people cited earlier, the emotion of the game affects it as well.

Everyone is allowed to have a bad game, and there were some good things done as well last night that obviously were a bit overshadowed but I think the reality of the situation is, is that we expected the level of overachieving that we got last year and though this team is not by any means bad, we condemn them as that because they are not up to last years pace of wins.

What is the point of booing?  What does it get you?  Do the players go, oh I suck I must get better because the fans are booing?

I was a freshman, 99-00, and that team "sucked", but I became a diehard with my first game...this team is light years ahead of where we were 12 years ago.  How bout a little perspective.  All booing does is make us look like a bunch of classless, entitled babies

I'm sure you are too young, stupid, and naive to even remotely understand, but what if it was your kid getting booed out there? Would you join in because little Masterrrrr wasn't playing up to par? Booing your own son? What if it was your brother. Would you make sure he knew it was you yelling "Boo, boo, you suck, Mastorr!"

You don't have any right to boo. As a student, you are responsible for upholding Cura Personalis. If you haven't paid enough attention to your own school, that's Latin for "Care for the Entire Person". That means supporting and caring for your fellow man, whether they are up or down. Showing respect to them whether they succeed or fail. If you can't do that, then frankly, you don't deserve to be a part of the Marquette tradition, and you're the kind of fan and student that personally I wouldn't want anywhere near our campus.

I realize that it might be a bit quaint that I still like to think that is more than a slogan, but a great deal of teachers and fellow students took an interest in me as I went through Marquette, and continue to follow up with my life, my successes, and my failures today. I think that's an integral part to the mission of Marquette. And if you have no caring or respect for that, than quite frankly, you don't deserve to be a part of the Marquette community.

Us fans should be called out, it was pathetic to boo your own COLLEGE team, and I love Ox more now....clearly he has passion for this team and university and then we go and crap on him for it?

What the hell is wrong with us???  I get the strategy discussions and why did we do this or that, and I get frustrated because I want this team to do well, but you would think we have a bunch of 12 year olds posting on here with all the vitriol and hate being thrown about.

Oh yes, they should get up at 6 am, go to practice until their first class at 9, attend all their classes until 3, taking time to get an extra lunchtime practice in, then go practice from 3 until 9 pm, study until midnight, and go to bed.

Do you have the first clue what goes on in their day? How busy they are and how hard they work? Until you walk that road, try not to judge those that do.

Walk in and say hi, that is one of the many benefits of a small campus with a big time basketball program... you can actually see the players in public and have a chance to interact with them.  Maybe they'll tell you how they bust their ass in practice everyday so you can even have the luxury of a basketball team that you can then get pissed about and boo.  

Or are they supposed to forgo a social life because they have a scholarship?  Perhaps we should make them sign a contract that if they don't try as hard as the fanbase expects them to, including going to a bar at any given time instead of practicing, their scholarship should be cancelled. What a joke of a post.

How about you suit up for MU, and lead us to a Final Four?  Wait a minute...you aren't good enough and can't.  So, instead of that, how about you study extra hard and develop a cure for cancer?  Or how about this - maybe you need to get a life and actually walk into Murhpy's and learn how to socialize.

The amount of hours basketball players at MU spend practicing, lifting, in season and off season is off the charts.  Sounds like you have some serious jealousy toward the basketball players.  Instead of getting so upset and worked up over them and their play - go find a different entertainment option - or develop yourself into a Big East Caliber point guard and led them to victory.

I'd like to see some basketball players show up and boo Masterr while he has trouble answering a test question or struggles with a concept while studying or screws up an order while working at The Brew Bayou. It would be a variation of comedian's revenge.

1. Yes you are in the minority.  On this board and at the game.  MOST fans at the game were NOT booing THEIR team.  You know why?  becuase it is THERI team.
2. You think you earn the right to boo these kids because you paid for a ticket.  Do you yell "FIRE!" in theaters too?.  The second you BOO YOUR TEAM - it is no longer YOUR team.  I am certain you do NOT have a team you support.  You gave that up.
