What case? There isn't case to be made. I don't think it's classless and vulgar. You aren't going to change my mind.
IU fans classless again

Not surprising at all. I was there when the students did the F U Haarms chant, and watched Glass just sit there with his thumb up his backside. Then he sent an email the next day. Coward.
"Your mind"? Again, is that because there is nothing there to change?
I'm betting if someone said something derogatory about your mother or sister to YOU, you would think it was classless and take offense. Even if it was directed to YOU.
But then again, IU fans may not think of mothers and sisters the way normal people do.
Did you miss the part where the player who was being chanted at ate the whole thing up and laughed about it???
I mean God Damn, are you now the arbitrator for this players feelings?
This is literally a non-issue if this happened with any other fan base.
HT was apparently conceived because of a sloppy (insert high number here) relationship which is why he doesn’t find this offensive.
I do not, and if I did I'm not sure how that is relevant?
Indinia fans lose their collective minds over “IU Sucks!”, but they encourage personal attacks on known individuals. There’s no question that a similar situation directed at the current girlfriend of any IU player would elicit calls for an NCAA investigation. Their hypocrisy knows no bounds, but it is funny to watch them attempt to justify and even endorse such uncivilized behavior. And I doubt it was only students yelling.
Who cares if none of the direct parties were offended or not. There were plenty of young kids in attendance and watching on tv and probably some parents that had to explain what "sloppy seconds" meant to their kid who they never figured would be exposed to the term during a college basketball game. The fact that you can glance over that shows what type of person you are.
Imagine a world when having to casually explain what "sloppy seconds" means to an 8 year old who wouldn't understand the concept even if you explained it to them in the most literal sense is the hottest topic on the board of a Rival team currently ranked 4th in the country.
Incredible.
My kid asked me during the game last night "What are they chanting?"
I knew what they were chanting/had read about the St.John's tweet. My answer? "I dunno."
Sure, it was vulgar. No, no one "had to" explain what it meant to their children. It was kind of like hearing some pop song lyrics on the radio. I don't have to call attention to them or explain them.
I have one on the way (son due in January), if "sloppy seconds" is the worst thing he hears on TV as an 8 year old put me down for Dad of the Year Award.
People like to bitch for the sake of bitching.
It’s definitely not uncivilized to the students and alums who chanted it, but it’s also just as obvious that IU fans would go crazy if an Indinia player was the target. Remember, this is the fan base that is apoplectic at the sound of “IU Sucks!”. “Sloppy Seconds!” would elicit demands for NCAA punishment. But I’m not surprised that it is actively endorsed by the University, as last night’s display was. Any ther school would’ve made an announcement regarding sportsmanship and the treatment of opposing teams, as well as the consequences if those standards are violated. Say whatever you will about Knight, but he would’ve never tolerated such conduct, and he’d be openly disgusted by the likes of HoosierTim.
Coming from the fan base on this very form whose comments about IU's newest 16 year old recruit are as follows:
"Looks like a total douchebag"
"Easily has the most punchable face since Will Sheehey"
"Look's like Neil Reed's inbred cousin"
"offspring of Kathy Griffen and Neil Reed"
Forgive me for saying you're the biggest hypocritical piece of shit on the entire Rivals platform spanning over 20 usernames in a decade time. I don't really care what you have to say, Ordfan.
Pretty confident with the limited information (and knowledge) shared here, that is an award that we won't have to worry about...at 8-years, or, any other point.
Here is hoping for his sake...and humanities'...that Mom has some semblance of sense and decency as it is evident that "pops" does not.
Glancing over it is the least of the issues...
Then again, he was likely one of the many that joined the Haarms chant...or, took aim at Haas' sister with special needs...all while being abhored by Purdue fans chanting "IU sucks".
I see you could not address the topic. I'll accept that as your acknowledgment that I'm right.
If you as parent can't explain what "sloppy seconds" means to an 8 year old in the most juvenile way possible, that's on you. But then again, it isn't surprising as you think college aged kids chanting sloppy seconds is offensive.
I do love the fact that you and a few other associate me with someone else. It’s a great example of how stupid you are, as well as how deflection is your only weapon. Given the low standards you you and you university, I’m not a bit surprised by last night’s endorsed behavior. I do find it hysterical that you continue to flock here under multiple user names, though. Nothing screams “WalMarter” quite like that. Knight would be disgusted by Indinia fans like you, Maybe that’s why your program is directionless.
If you can't refrain from exposing other people's children to such terminology like most any decent adult would, and it's clear that feel it's ok, then you are just a piece of human garbage. It's that simple.
Just the first, but I love that you feel the need to come here for validation. Since your board is now so lightly visited as a result of your program disappearing on the BiG and national stage, it’s easy to see why you have to come here to talk basketball, especially since we dominate you. Even better, love that you have to come here after what, for you, should be a big win. Knight would consider you a clown.
Sloppy seconds=human piece of garbage. LOL
There is zero chance you've ever fornicated. ZERO.
You have bigger issues, dude.
Any other school would insist that students, alums and fans exhibit good sportsmanship to their guests. Even though there were thousands of empty seats at their game last night, it’s clear that message is non-existent at Indinia U.
Courtsense I am sure says the arena was full, no one would dare miss going to the best and most beautiful college town in America for a basketball game.
Not at all. Just a fact. Kind of like your need to Come here for validation. But we both know you aren’t alone. This place is full of Indinia fans. When your basketball and football programs are as bad as yours, you have to do something to occupy your time. Maybe that’s why you have thousands and thousands of empty seats in your sleepy arena and bird infested stadium.
Thousands of empty seats at their games. They don’t draw close to as many as we do at Mackey, and the same is true at Birdpoop Stadium, home of the $30M high school coach.
From your response, mom and sister are fair game as long as it's directed to YOU. That's an interesting culture you folks have down there.
LOL, you completely ducked the question. When in God's name do you get to decide what is and what isn't offensive?
Unless Stef Smith comes out and says last night was out of hand (he won't; he was laughing about it) your opinion doesn't mean a damn thing.
Good try though Andy.
well... when your mom and sister are likely the same person...that's what kind of logic they come up with lol
Please keep your Bloomington-raised boys in Bloomington. I'm sure that when he is 8 years old he will know more about "sloppy seconds" than any other 8-year-old in Indiana.
That's classless and vulgar, I'm deeply offended.
Apologize immediately before I start another thread.
yep- but it was directed at a Loosier on a Purdue board...not at a couple of teenagers. I'm good
I live nearly 2.5 hours from Bloomington (in a different state) and I wouldn't by shocked if my future son got more ass than you by the time he was 8 than you have in your entire life.
Such is life Andy.
