Isn't the real question here whether LW will reimburse the Band for the sheet music?

I agree with you about not being clever.  Thats why I hate it.  I don't think its offensive and saying that it is, is just ridiculous.  If yelling "you suck" during the opening and 1 song is our biggest problem with "inappropriate fans", then I think we are in pretty good shape.... Some fan issues at other schools:

- UW cheer with the eat S**t cheer, heard on national television at the nebraska game last year (football)
- Last year southern miss' band (?) yelling "where's your green card?" to a player
- Duke vs NC State, Duke fans yelled "hows your grandma" to a player whose grandmother just passed away- West Virginia's notorious fans for being overly vulgar
- There was a game earlier this year where the fans started chanting "you are fat" at Davante.  I think he even smiled since he was killing it during that game.


Pretty sure they were yelling "Past your bedtime"

Now, ASU students yelling PLO to Steve Kerr.  That was bad.

Student section should boycott the next game.  Nobody show up.  Stick it to the man!

I am happy to see the email. Hopefully LW had a long list of things to get accomplished this year and all are completed and he finally got to #52 on his list. I am looking for a major conference announcement or contract extension for Buzz coming soon. Good work on taking care of the big things and I am OK with LW focusing on smaller issues now. Seriously, doesn't he have better things to be doing with his time?


I love this...people who have no idea how to do his job telling him how he should do his job.

And if you think this is just a "Larry Williams thing," you are kidding yourselves.

This may be an opportunity for the students to take a trite or unoriginal cheer and turn into something funny.  On the 100th anniversary graduation of MU, the admin passed on an actual prominent speakers like Reagan or Carter (who had family in the area), and came up with Ruth Love as a speaker, completely ignoring student requests. 

Ruth, affectionately known as the "Love Bug", was the short lived and failure to be Superintendent of the Chicago Public Schools who spent thousands of taxpayer dollars trying to sweep her office of listening devices that didn't exist while her schools fell to worst in the country.  Anyway, as she got up to speak, the newly minted graduates showed their displeasure by making a loud and prolonged bee buzzing sound as she was introduced. Thus, earning a stern glare by Buck Rayner. 

Perhaps instead of "sucks", the students should just hum?

Right. You have to be "in the business" to appreciate the necessities of threatening emails to students over a silly cheer.

You're right.  You don't have to be "in the business," because it is common sense that if your job responsibilities are to build an athletic program that maintains the image and integrity of the university, you should send out emails as he has.

I was in the student section back in the day.   If I was in the student section this year, I would stay home today.   Send a message.    Like benching a starter against a bad team.

ADs have always sent out emails like these, it's their job.  I don't see what you all are getting so pissy about.  Everyone knows that ADs can't *actually* do anything about it.

I'd be more irritated with the lack of free tshirts the past couple years, honestly.

That wouldn't send anyone a message.  Students already paid for today's tickets, so regardless of whether they go or not LW and is athletic department are getting the money.  And that's what it's all about, just like all college athletics...money, money, and more money.

That would just be giving into what Larry wants.  Money coming in, yet nobody there to hurt opponents' feelings.

If, through social media, I convince 1000 other students to stay home, is Larry still enjoying the silence?

You're using logic.

Use gut-reaction and emotion. This is the internet!

The cheer is offensive. Not because of the language, but because it's really uncreative.

No but you can bet this board would rip the students for not showing up.  Gotta be outraged about something.

The bad press about no students on Al McGuire Day and how it would be portrayed during the game would be priceless.  Stick it to the man.

MarquetteDano

LW saying that students should or shouldn't do something.  Older alums, like myself, saying students should or shouldn't do something.

You know the great thing?

The students will do what they want regardless of what LW or we think.

My goodness.

What is with people trying to rage against authority?

"Sucks" is a stupid cheer. Email from the AD or not.

You want to be mad at MU? Be mad because they don't have better funding for the pep band. Don't be mad because the students were asked not to yell "sucks!".

To put it in context, MU changed the nickname and is still one of the top teams annually in attendance. You think this sucks thing is going to make a dent?

Why always on the attack? LW sending out the email means nothing to me and probably less than nothing to the students who received it. LW can email each kid individually and would not bother me.

No, it would mean that 1000 students are brain dead, pathetic lemmings.

You really think this is just about Larry...not some alumni, coaching staff, administration, etc also unhappy with it?  OK

You could be right. As for me, I have nothing negative to say about LW thus far. Think the email maybe was not needed but hardly a reason to toss a guy under the bus. More I think about the funnier the email is to me. I would think if I were college kid today and got that email I probably would laugh.

You're going to convince 1000 students to stay home and not cheer for their university because they were asked not to yell "YOU SUCK"...oh, and on Al McGuire Day.  Something tells me the students lose big in that PR battle.
