F!@£ Nova Chant

[MU86NC]

All Semantics! Love the student section and all rabid Warrior fans....

[TinyTimsLittleBrother]

I hope Marquette students keep swearing at the top of their lungs. Maybe then the fans will keep their kids at home where they belong.

[Vander Blue Man Group]

I agree with this completely.  Well said.   Today was definitely a teaching point.  It is what it is.   Unfortunately my son was more preoccupied with the drunk idiot behind us getting thrown out then the game for the entire first half . It is what it is.
What I take issue with is anyone who defends it.   I.e. tiny and VBBG.  Was it one of you guys who got thrown out?

Again, I'm not defending the guy behind you that was tossed.  That's an extreme example.  Now if you were up in arms about some scattered profanity during the game that's another issue to me.  Perhaps it was all semantics here and I could have done a better job of communicating that.

This guy is the coolest poster here.

Like I said in the original post, independent of the classless words/acts, it's a totally unoriginal chant. That's the best you can do?

I guess if that's the best you can do you're going to defend it. I suppose it makes sense that unoriginal people will defend unoriginal ideas. But that's sad. You do you, I guess.

Go be a Notre Dame fan you pathetic loser.

[tower912]

Beat Nova.    And then, in the scoopiest thing ever, go be a Notre Dame Fan you pathetic loser.      Eye on the prize. 

[T-Bone]

I thought the chant was "Digger beats his meat".

[mu_hilltopper]

TinyTim's been bannished to the nearest Arby's to sleep it off.

[Avenue Commons]

Go be a Notre Dame fan you pathetic loser.

Point made.

[Its DJOver]

Wow, what a thread. Both sides are going a bit extreme IMO. I will say this, the chant has been said during at least the last three Nova games and at least the last two Bucky games. If the chant happens max twice a year, I don't think the higher ups will get too upset about it.  If it becomes more and more frequent, those higher ups will get it to stop.  I would be surprised if the chant happens against this season, and I would be surprised if anyone remembers this (IMO ridiculous) thread in a weeks time.

If you would yell "f*ck you" to your mother, then you and I see the world differently and we can agree to disagree.

If you would not, then don't defend dropping f-bombs in public around children.

It's not just a matter of class. It's a matter of respect; respect for your fellow human beings. Especially those that are young.

Saying you don't care, is everything wrong with our society. It shows a complete and utter selfish disregard for anyone else. Sadly, that's a plague that curses humanity. The loss of respect and empathy for others is why we see such bitter animosity.

All that said, I find public f-bombs in front of my children a reality and great teaching point for my children. Sometimes the best way to teach what principles to strive for is to point out those you don't want to emulate and to explain why such lack of respect is something that one should strive to keep out of his or her life. So, thank you for that, I guess.

I agree completely and do the same about teaching my kids.  But I appreciate those kids more than you.  Not only for providing a teaching moment, but for not posing any competitive threat to my children in the future.

You can swear all you want if you show up on Tuesday and make em toss off the tarps vs. St. John's. Sadly, the section was 35% full.

I was just going to post this!!! Pathetic turnout for a top 10 team... wowsers

[Lennys Tap]

I don't see anyone defending the chant itself.  Your amazing overreaction is something else entirely.

Several times in this thread claim that you're not defending the chant. Then you insist it's no big deal. You don't understand that in the context of this thread that is a defense of the chant? Wow.

So I guess if you say using the N word is no big deal you wouldn't be defending its use? Give me a break.

[frozena pizza]

I'm not a fan of shouting F-bombs at games, whether kids are around or not.  But my 6 year old has been exposed to far worse than the F word by watching local news.  We just talk about right and wrong.

Again, I'd rather hear them chant something else, but I loved the student section.  As for what the girls wear, if you prefer fact chicks in sweats you can go watch plenty of other teams.  I'll take it.

I sense a GIF coming your way!

[Spaniel with a Short Tail]

Agree with the thesis.  The chant is classless and debases the University.

Wow. Comparing a chant using the word f*ck to one using one of the most vile words in existence is beyond stupid. Well done.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

There are so many things in this world to be outraged at. There is nothing in this thread that I feel warrants the level of outrage that some on both sides of this argument seem to have. Outrage is an important limited resource

[Loose Cannon]

Completely and totally classless. And in no way original or clever at all. Just trash. I was extraordinarily disappointed and embarrassed by the chant.

And by the way, Villanova, its players, and its coach, are extraordinary. To be in the Big East with them as they put up TWO National Championships is a privilege. History in the making. Today Nova came into a tough environment and almost pulled out a W with clutch plays, sharp shooting, and hustle. If anything earns an F Bomb it's F'ing RESPECT.

How dare you.

A shameful part of a great win. Apologies to Villanova. And for those of you who say I'm uptight or whatever, know that I object as much to your lack of originality and lack of humor as I do your lack of class. The chant is lame.

We can do better. We Are Marquette. Live up to it. Be The Difference. AMDG.

Plus Tax

[ZiggysFryBoy]

F u nova was inappropriate.   

Only because nova is a program the deserves and is entitled to respect.

F the badgers is fully acceptable.

[Lennys Tap]

Your inability to grasp context, analogy and simple logic is world class ignorant. You have repeated the same stupid, infantile, insipid argument so many times in this thread that you should be exhausted. I know I'm tired (and saddened) reading, rereading, rereading and rereading it. The possibility (however small) that you may have an MU degree is nearly as depressing as today's victory was exhilarating.

Damn, TAMU, I am outraged by this comment of yours.

You outrageous outrager you.

[Cheeks]

My ears are failing me, when did this happen?  This chant?
