What do we do now?!

[Thomas' Danish Delight]

 

Now that Ouse will be gone, what will we throw up?!

This guy I watched the Georgetown game next to, he was going "MMMMM!" and rubbing his stomach whenever Mbakwe got a huge board...I joined in on that....donno if it'll catch on though, haha

"I want to thank you guys for booing me for 4 years"
haha, funny guy, that Ousemane.

[BrewCity83]

I'm pretty sure he said "Oooing", not "booing".  It was funny, either way.

[jaybilaswho?]

i think he said booing. thats where the joke was. thanks for Oooing me is not funny.

[mu_hilltopper]

I was thinking .. with some comedy support, he could have made that speech better:

Ooze: Um, now that I've got you all here, I'd just like to say I always wondered why you guys booed me all the time.  I know I'm supposed to be tough and all, but that really hurt all these four years.

(pause, fake listens to someone in crowd)

Ooze:  Oh, what?  Huh?  You were yelling Oooooze?  OHHHHH!!!  

[BrewCity83]

thanks for Oooing me is not funny.

It was to me.  Cracked me up.

That was clearly the highlight of my night. Also, I never knew that the MU hoops team were a bunch of clowns. Seemed like they were razzing Ousmane pretty good during his speech (especially Hayward). It's nice to see a team that gets along with each other so well.

speaking of Hayward, was working the Humphrey front desk yesterday when Lazar and Scott came in. They were talking about hunting rabbits and fishing and Scott was going on and on about how much fun it would be if Lazar came up for a visit and they went out back and shot some rabbits. Lazar was just like, 'i can't do that. i'm ok eating stuff but i don't want to be the one killing it.'  guess you kinda had to be there but it gave me a little chuckle anyway in the monotonous grind of working that desk.

That was my impression as well--they seem to genuinely like each other.  Lots of good natured ribbing.

Also regarding Hayward: when the video of Trend's dunk becomes available, watch Lazar on the bench.  Kinda funny.

I had that same job as well about 8 or 9 years ago. Probably did my best stuying at that desk. Ahhh the days of Wardle, Nnamaka, Henry, Harris, Miller, Mueller, Barone, and my personal favorite John Polonowski! Coach Deane was a prick but I always loved when Coach Ellis stopped by. There's not a nicer guy in the world.

I talked to Ooze last night and asked him what he said (drumroll)....... Booing. "thanks for booing me."

this puppy is now put to rest.

Wow.  Yikes.  Let's hope you're not persuing a career in comedy.

Thanks for the followup, jbw.  Now I can tell my son what Ooze really said, and we'll crack up again.

Oh, hush.  Had Ooze done that with his Sengalese/French English tongue, it would have brought the house down.

Deane may have been a lot of things, but he was not a "prick."

Um...anyways, the point of this thread was intended to discuss what kind of hand/arm sign we'd throw up and what kind of noise we'd make now that Ouse has played his final home game.

If O'tule (Otule?) is solid, maybe keep the "O" arms change the "Ooooo" to an "OHHHH"...no?

I kinda like the one guy's idea of rubbing our stomachs and going "MMMM" whenever Mbakwe does something...it'd be weird, but interesting...

Oh well...I'm gonna miss throwing up the "O" and going "Oooooooooouse!"

Hah.  We've had a LOT of thread drift lately.  What can you do...must be March!!

Lazar was also egging on the "we want Tommy" chants from the bench at one point, pumping his hands in unison with the cheers. this seems to be a good-natured team.

I think we can keep the same 'ooooooooo' sound as in O'tooooooooooole.  From what I'm read on the kid though, we may not get to worry about this till his sophomore year.  Expect Hazel-type minutes next year.
