bush league Fans

Should we also be silent on free throw attempts like in middle school?

[MU Fan in Connecticut]

I remember singing this at the Milwaukee Arena in the 70s as AL was wrapping up another victory over Digger:

I'm an a**hole
I'm an a**hole
I'm an a-a-a**hole
But just the same
I'd rather be an a**hole
than to go to Notre Dame

It was still going strong in the 80's even in the Dukiet era. 

[Lennys Tap]

Well no kidding. I'm not concerned about being a great orator when having casual conversation.

Very odd criticism.

You're a guy in his 50s who uses the f word regularly because you think it's "awesome".

Speaking of odd....

[MU Fan in Connecticut]

I recall Freshman year at the Mecca (the last season MU played in the building) we would yell ridiculous at the the opposing team.  One of the guys who was season ticket holder with my Freshman McCormick wing said to the group after one game that, "My brother, who is a Marquette Junior, thinks you should calm down during games."  The reply was "Tell your brother we're not in church!"

I was a big fan of the ND song you noted. It really was fun to hate ND.

And it still is!

[tower912]

There was a second verse to the a$$hole song during my time (84-88) at MU.   More juvenile and non-sensical than the first, in hindsight.   Young and dumb knows no generational lines.

Now this is fun.   I'm imagining it's to the tune of My Darling Clementine?

Yep

[94Warrior]

2nd verse?

You know Marquette is back when scoop is back to ragging on the students.

You know Marquette is back when Sweater Vest Scoop scoop is back to ragging on the students.

FTFY

Hey now, he's been a fan for over 50 years, and he just can't get over how these young whipper snappers act now a days with their ticsnap and their snaptok.

Don't tell him anything about that student dance rave to "I'm to sexy"

[muwarrior69]

Talk what way? F*ck is an awesome word.

Its the only word that is required you know how to spell, if you want to become a Hollywood script writer.

[TSmith34, Inc.]

Bad news for the prudes of Sccop. Science says those of us who swear often are more intelligent and honest.

My wife must be the smartest, most honest person on earth.

Only bush league thing from the game was Gillespie's obvious flop when guarding Darryl. Egregious and sad.

[tower912]

Second verse involved being an a-hole all my life and ended with Digger's wife.   No longer funny.   But young, dumb, drunk me in 1987 laughed.

[JWags85]

Just realized we should be thankful this man has never watched an English soccer game on TV, much less attended.  He'd have a coronary

You got that right.

But is Sean Dyche as classy as Jay Wright ?!

[Markusquette]

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

completely sarcastic

[Tha Hound]

The real bush league fans are the boomers sitting around center court who, for as long as I have been attending games, remain nearly silent and refuse to stand up during even the most pivotal and emotional moments of games.

[PBRme]

I thought the F Jay and Nova was lacking in creativity as well but what really irritated me was when the cameras panned to the student section and some student would use the obscene gesture of putting the tips of their thumbs together while extending just their index fingers to 10 and 2.  Come on...we are way better then that

[CountryRoads]

Only bush league thing from the game was Gillespie's obvious flop when guarding Darryl. Egregious and sad.

Refs called a flop on Slater earlier in the game. Complete weak sauce by the refs not to call the T on that play for the obvious second flop.

[The Sultan]

The whole flop rule is dumb.  If refs called it right, it wouldn't be an issue since defenders are the ones being put out of place by it.
