i am not trying to sound like the "old guy" here because the good lord know that i have made my share of stupid decisions. HOWEVER, tonight i sat on the student side and let me say that I have been to games at OU, Texas, A&M, Notre Dame, Cotton Bowl, etc... and I have NEVER heard more foul language coming from a group of fans in my life. I can handle some cussing and I have been know to do it myself but what was being said on our student side was not only foul but it was embarassing for our whole university. it wasn't a bunch of kids yelling "damn". it was our students yelling "f*** you Ohio" while one of their players lay in the middle of the field injured. i hope that none of you were subjected to it and I implore you, if you have children at the game, DO NOT take them to the student side.

I will have to say though, they embarassed the alumni with the amount of students that came out tonight!

This happened...classless fans I tell you. I couldn't believe the once Tune came out after Riley got hurt the students tried to start a chant "we want Riley"...I was dumbfounded so I started to cheer on Tune...eventually it caught on and others started to do the same.

yup... I've always enjoyed sitting on the student side and have continued to do so, but I told my wife on the way home those days are over as a result of what went on in the student section tonight.

...the Ohio team WAS taunting the student section when they started the chant, but it is still TOTALLY unexcusable.

I was very disappointed in the students this evening, in light of how much heart the team showed. I admire the fire, which I haven't ever really seen our of our students, but this was simply unacceptable.

I sat on the student side and the foul language and dirty chants occured late in the game... Especially in the OT.

Students were frustrated cause they were hungry, rain soaked and probably horny... lol..

Defiantely have to give it to these students though, they showed up and whats most shocking is they stayed until the end.

well and i wanted to make a point here too. i think a lot of times there can be an overreaction to events like this. sometimes there is one bad culprit and so the whole group gets blamed. i wish this was the case. THIS WASN'T JUST ONE GROUP OF STUDENTS. i heard several different groups througout the student section. they were yelling for Riley when he was obviously hurt. they were telling Ohio players to get off their fat a** and telling them what they wanted to do to their mothers.... it was just absolutely disgusting. i will be contacting Bonita Jacobs office on Monday via email and tell her that school officials need to be present on the student side during games. i was absolutely embarassed tonight

I'd rather have a rowdy student side yelling obscenties, than an alumni section 3/4ths empty and mostly sitting on their hands all game.

Well, I can do without the obscenties (thankfully I did NOT bring my kids to the game tonight). However, even though I have season tickets, your last sentence is EXACTLY why I sit on the other side with the students. I'd rather be loud & stand than be around people sitting on their hands all game & getting mad because people are standing. Better atmosphere on the student side!

Yeah, I am conflicted about it too. I'd rather be around a crowd that doesn't curse or otherwise act like jerks. On the other hand, I was hoping people on the alumni side WOULD AT LEAST STAND, if for no other reason than I wouldn't have felt obligated to sit on that wet bench (forgot to bring those stadium seats, darn it). I mean, what is so great about sitting in THAT situation. Just another of many things I don't quite get.

that's how my wife and I have always felt, but what was going on tonight was simply embarassing.

I watched the game in section C. I must say I think a number of Alumni were showing spirit and clapping. Granted we did get the full force of the rain when it was going, however many times I chose to stand while those behind me sat and I never once got a "smart remark." Also I will not plug the student section to much if we were using foul language, but it was very nice to see the stands full.

At every single sporting event in college people chant "bullshit" when they see a bad call. The other stuff, I agree, was over the top. It just takes a couple people with bad judgement to get it started.

oh yes i forgot about this worn out line... let's blame it on the "frat" guys. how pitiful. i was sitting over there the whole time and you know and I know both that it wasn't just two groups of "frat guys". it was a several groups of different students. yeah i definitely saw some "frat" guys doing it but i saw several other groups yelling obscene stuff. give that worn out excuse a rest.

I'm cool with not assuming it was the frat guys. I am wondering if alcohol might have had more to do with it than marijuana. I wish there were a rule: no glass containers of alcohol in the tailgating area. I had to move a bottle near my car; threw it out into the grassy area. I don't like to see that.

I don't think it was the "frat" guys that i was hearing (i am just glad they are actually inside the stadium). Rather it was the other students. But on the other hand...i am glad they are at the game. If they will stand out in the pouring rain to watch a team that won 1 game last year...they can say whatever they want to. For me and the group i was with, we will sit on the alumni side next time. I do wish they would show and represent UNT with a little more class though (i am sure this goes on everywhere but that doesn't make it okay).

Here is an idea, at the next home game, if you come across a student, chat with them for a few, then remind them of the example we want to set and politely encourage them that if they hear that kind of obscene behavior, to stand up for the image of their university and discourage that behavior, and spart positive chants.

For the past several years students wouln't show up in bad weather or would usually leave after halftime but they kept up with the game today...

Besides we won that game, seriously, we outplay them on both sides of the ball.

I heard several band guys cussing and one of them saying I will F$#&*#@ kill you to the referee after the last penalty of the game, damn.... I got a laugh....

Actually its good that everyone was into the game, but couldnt have done a better job controlling their emotions

      Meanwhile we finished higher than Minnesota in NET last year. Actually they haven't finished higher than us since 2020. Was this post on Twitter?

      Mike Mitchell Jr. was out. He's a starter and Minnesota could've really used his shooting. Not as familiar with the other players but they're reserves. This game was a big data point for the Massie over Newell position!

      Minnesota (11/13/24)

      Awesome win! The only bad part was the commentary from the TV announcers. They confused Newell and Lorient for an extended period of time, stated that Atin Wright originally played at Washington State, and clearly barely knew anything about our program. The play by play announcer gave major 'and boom goes the dynamite' vibes. Some thoughts on the game: - The defense was stellar as we've all come to expect. Delo and Massie were great playing multiple matchups. - Minnesota came out and blitzed our PnRs. We really struggled with the pressure. Eventually we started slipping screens and setting brush screens to counteract it. - Trey Edmonds in the second half forced us to play big. He has a grown man body. Hodge settled on a Lorient/Sissoko combination to match Garcia/Edmonds. - An extended run with a Floyd/Walker/Massie/Lorient/Sissoko lineup including to close the game aside from situational subs. Before the season I would've been shocked that this lineup would close a win on the road against a Big Ten school because of the offense. The spacing was predictably an adventure. Massie wasn't efficient but he kind of made the lineup 'work'. He shows handling, passing, and court awareness in the half court. Feels like he could turn into a secondary ball handler in lineups. - Atin Wright had a meh game by his standards, but still really excited about him this season. He's a bit of a showman and I love it. After getting fouled in transition, he slapped the ball away from the defender and stared at him. On Lorient's massive jam at the end of the game, you can see him standing over Edmonds (who was on the ground). GMG

      Still just a bit, but a sad one because it seems like a ceiling and not a floor.

      I will say that if we take care of business Utah State would like to have a say in that conversation. Lol
