Wojo in the Dorms

[Dr. Blackheart]

Judging on the amount of booing we got from students last season, it might be warranted.

And empty seats.  Let's face it, a lot of students were down on the previous coach for the off the court issues.  More so, the previous administration was not very engaging to the student body.  So, yes, Wojo and Lovell are actually engaging the student body versus alienating, lecturing or disenfranchising them.

So long as we dont get any more emails from the higher-ups im all good.

Adding to the choir, but never boo.  ever.  

Imagine if people came to your job, when you were 18 and bood you.  Like, while you were taking a western civ exam in the varsity theater and someone came up behind you and just started boo'ing.  At 18.  I had no life skills or any redeeming qualities at 18, so why would it be ok for me to pass judgement on a kid who is trying his best and his best is WAY better than my best was at the same age?  

Boo your university or team when they do something morally wrong; not when they just don't perform.

I would have laughed my ass off.   

That said, Devendorf is the only ever recipient of my boos.  The "trailer trash" chant was more fun though.

What if you were asleep at your desk?  Would it be okay to boo you then?

[jsglow]

Just learned that Wojo went table to table in Schroeder tonight and had an extended conversation with all the students who had picked up their Fanatics shirts and then gone in for dinner.  jsglow jr. happened to be there using one of his 50 meal swipes for the semester and talked with coach at some length.

Hoping Wojo got some of that Schroeder chicken parm.  He'll never leave after that

Man that chicken parm still haunts my dreams. I would kill for some Schroodles!

[Daniel]

I think Wojo is doing a good thing. Did Crean or Buzz do anything like this?  I know Crean did more to get the students pumped than Buzz.

Just picturing this is hilarious.

[MUMonster03]

You never boo your team. Period.

There are exceptions, especially in the pros. Some of the loudest booing I have ever heard of the home team was in 2009 when the Colts pulled Manning at halftime against the Jets when they were 14-0 and winning that game. Manning was visibly pissed at the decision to not go for the perfect season.

[jsglow]

Sung to the Nationwide tune.. "Chicken parm you taste so good."

So you booed Buzz and the Marquette basketball team last season because you received an e-mail from the President and/or Athletic Director of the University?

I believe he's referring to the email sent out from Larry Williams that told us to stop the chopping down of the other team and yelling "you suck"

Ding, ding, ding. I mean granted, its a pretty dumb thing to do but I hated the micromanaging of it. For christ sake the Madison still has their F you chant.

I always thought it was fun... Unless we were losing then it was stupid. 

[ChitownSpaceForRent]

Heres my question though. I booed Buzz once, I think it was next home game after the Georgetown game. But whats the difference between that and swearing at people or even saying "god damn it what are you doing." Same exact premise so if you do the latter you cant really pretend to be better than people who boo.

God damn it what are you doing is clearly directed at a person who makes a mistake in that instance. Boos A) aren't able to be directed at anyone so I'm sure some of the players were under the impression you and others were booing them and that does t exactly feed confidence does it? B) booing seems to happen in massive crowds saying what are you doing to yourself allows a person (who given their role at this school is probably hard enough on themselves without drunken idiots booing them) to try and right their mistake without a crowd getting in their head and losing confidence.

Maybe this year, to manifest their displeasure, half of the student section could raise up their arms for the high five while the other half ignores them.

I think in this discussion on booing a lot of people always seem to miss an important point. This is something I never see mentioned but to me it's fairly obvious. Besides the fact of principle (whether it is RIGHT or WRONG to boo), can anyone give me a reason why booing can possibly have constructive positive results for the team?

I can find no logic that reasons that kicking your team when it is down will help things improve. It simply makes no sense. I understand it is intuitive, which is different, but logically why anyone would do it is beyond me.

Why haven't fans ever tried the opposite? Namely, the worse your team plays, the more boisterous and intense your show of support becomes. It makes perfect sense to me that when your team is at it's most trying time, the thing they could use the most is more support. Especially a feeling of supreme loyalty from the fans. When that is shown I bet it could have amazing impacts on the psyche.

Think about it - how does it feel to know sometimes you have undying loyalty and support no matter what from your loved ones? We have all felt it before from our family, friends, spouses, etc. It's a fairly rare thing which makes it so special.

Imagine if each and every one of our kids knew they had that from us as Marquette fans. Imagine if they took the court knowing that no matter what happened out there, a missed shot, a bad break, a fumbled pass - that their fans would be behind them and supporting them to the end.

I see this a lot in European soccer etc. Fans will die with their team and sing their song to the end no matter if they are the worst product on the field. This year when you get the instinct to boo, try standing up and cheering as loud as you can. Can't hurt right?

Preach it brother.

I know how the students can voice their displeasure.  By only filling the section 2-3x this year, showing up with 10 min to go in the first 1/2, and not attend games due to quizzes or studying for a final that is a week away.

[Spotcheck Billy]

Wait, is this about Wojo getting booed in the dorms?

Hahaha, F off. Point one fine, point 2 I absolutely agree with but point 3 is complete BS school now is completely different then those who graduated even 5-7 years ago. If you don't get into a grad school now you can't do squat with a bachelor's degree.
