I was at the MU Villanova game last night.  A very impressive win against a solid Nova team.  What was way less impressive was the conduct of the student section offering a F..... Nova and later an F....Jay Wright chant.  Very disappointing.  Jay Wright is humble in victory and gracious in defeat.  The vulgar display by MU students is not appropriate for any university let alone a Catholic one.  Shame on you

[tower912]

At least they showed up


Maryland fans did the same to Izzo on Tuesday.   Kids do stupid things

I didn't care for the F Jay Wright chants, but that student section was absolutely fantastic last night.

Digger had beer spilled on him and had a song in his honor.   During the Majerus/Dukiet era.

Loved the energy but expected a little more creativity ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[Goose]

I chalked the chants up to kids being kids, but they could be more creative. That said, the kids brought last night and it looks a real affair between the HC and the student body. Best part, this HC won them over without even trying.

You know what's even worse? Half filled student sections or the PA announcing "the best student section in the country" and lights banning over tarps covering the student section due to low attendance.

Was it a dumb and immature chant? Of course.  So was the stupid "Overrated" chant late in the game.  But guess what, every university, catholic, Jesuit, or otherwise, has this sort of stuff happens.  Whoop de do.  Nova students were chanting obscenities at Kolek in Philly.

The student section was loud, engaged, and rocking.  I'll take that every day with the downsides as long as they aren't throwing debris on the floor

Glad to see there is broad support for vulgar and unneeded anger.  If we as a people cannot conduct ourselves in a respectful way over something like a basketball game how is it possible to do so with things of real existential value?  What is the value of education if you return to blood lust to support your side?  How does a nation heal if nobody acts with civility??

Good lord.

In these dark times, perhaps the vitriol we spew comes from a feeling of self hate that brews to the surface when we look in the mirror. But we still put on our emotional mask, go outside, and go through the motions--knowing ultimately each decision we make is no decision at all due to the gentle indifference of the world.

But through all of this, we know one axiom  rings true above all:


ND sucks

[dw3dw3dw3]

Stupid, but I don't blame them, they were out of practice. Wojo sucked the life out of everyone. I think everyone is trying to figure out how to properly fan again.

[Markusquette]

I agree it's dumb. I would have hoped for a "good game Nova" chant to end the game. Maybe one in support of Gillespie on being the big east MVP.

[dgies9156]

Let's not over-analyze this.

Kids will be kids. I'm sure Jay Wright has heard worse.

As a side note, Coach Wright is an incredible class act. It's hard to hate him even when Villanova hands us our heads!

You serious, Clark?

[Shark]

No one cares boomer

[OffTheGlass]

You serious, Clark?

I think so. Light up something. I don't care what but light up!

[1SE]

I was always partial to "start the bus"

[Its DJOver]

It was kinda weird not having this thread last year when Nova came to town, because the same people get upset about the same thing every single time.

lol i agree its wrong to chant f nova but we dont want the students to be complete dweebs. good game nova?" no..

[PGsHeroes32]

For the sake of humanity, im chalking this one up as a troll

[brewcity77]

The FU Nova chant is probably why Jay had his players continuing to foul, committing 9 in the final minutes when our odds of victory were 98+%.

[Warriors4ever]

I hated the students doing that as well. One can be enthusiastic supporters of the team without resorting to vulgarity.

Keep in mind the student section seats 3,000. That is huge. No issue with the tarps. The lower bowl of the student section at the Bradley Center was 1700.

Tarps when it's packed is what it is. Tarps when the student section is sparsely populated looks embarrassing
