Because it is an elitist chant that is stupid.  Just because you go to a private school doesn't mean you're better than them.  Given my experience (nearly a fight at a UW fb game, broken windshield, denying anything that "detracts" (like Bo Ryan massage therapist, poor graduation rates), rodents are one of the worst behaved fan bases around and it makes me cringe when we act like them.  If you think you're better than them, then be better.  I had my rodent PhD BIL, nearly yelling at me because I said Joe Krabbenhoft should have been punished in the recent Michigan dust up as it was clear he escalated.  Even his wife and daughter thought he embarrassed himself.  I paid my own way through Marquette twice as my parents didn't have money so maybe I especially think this chant is stupid.  Have some self respect and don't act like a badger fan (aka a douche)

Correct.

Defending at every turn.

  why is that "embarrassing"?  you may not have found it amusing, but embarrassing?  passing around a blow-up doll may be embarrassing, but this?

A blow up doll embarrasses you?  How sexually repressed are you?

At your own cheerleaders? Really? Stop being an apologist.

Bro, they're snowballs, not batteries.

You literally have defended the actions of Badger fans as acceptable/not a big deal and have criticized MU fan at every turn.

It might just be that chanting "public school" at Wisconsin fans and throwing snowballs at your own cheerleaders (or anyone else) are both stupid.

All part of the college experience which is about 75% stupidity, but HEY!!  Pakman and I agree on something!!

Life must be difficult when you don't understand nuance.  Let me lay it out for you.

If Marquette fans had been throwing snowballs I'd defend them having some fun.  If UW kids had been chanting "PRIVATE SCHOOL" as in my story, they'd also be idiots.

I have 5k posts on this board, if you think I'm a badger fan, I can't help you.

What other potentially harmful projectiles are fun to throw at people on the field of play? Bottles? Batteries? Coins?

It depends which fan base is throwing them.

I don't think you're a Badger fan by any stretch, but you're going a bit hard into being contrarian to make people here seem silly and irrational that you're bordering on being an apologist

not to mention having won 2 B1G championship and won 2 B1G COY awards...

If you want to go back to the last time MU won a game in the NCAA tournament---

UW has won 15 tournament games, made 4 Sweet 16s, 2 Elite 8s, 2 FFs, 1 championship game

To be historically accurate, UW has been the better program over the last 30 years but let's "look at the last 5 years" right???

You forgot to reference the infamous Chicago Tribune article which exposed the program in several "unflattering" ways right...

Maybe Shaka gets the program back to a consistenly good footing on par with UW...

Since the 2017-18 season, Madison has won 2 NCAA tournament games. They've also been stomped by a 12-seed (Oregon in 2019, the same year we got stomped by Morant). Despite having an experienced team that included a top-10 draft pick, they faded at the end of this season, eventually losing to an 11-seed while scoring 49 points. They've gone 2-3 vs. Marquette these last 5 years. And a couple years before that, their all-time winningest coach was forced out in a sex scandal.

Has Madison been better than Marquette these last 5 years? Sure, and it pisses me off. But they aren't the program I long for Marquette to be. There are many, many, many others I look to when I say, "Damn, I wish our program could be that."

If you say so.  The over arching point I was making is that all fan bases have idiots, we (Marquette) are not immune.

What about the eat sh!t, f*ck you chant?

If you're looking for my opinion, it's clearly a stupid chant.  Not nearly as stupid as 'public school', but it isn't far.
