Student section and profanity in your school's arena

You were the UND of the East Coast! Congrats, that's quite the badge of honor.

Given the brand of beer - a step above paint thinner - we were drinking in the late 90's, a smaller, quieter Wisconsin with less success and more goonery would be a better analogy.

They use to monitor it at SCSU and they chased all the students away. Since then they keep shrinking the student section because fewer students want to go. Now all they have is a bunch of students who sit on there hands and never say anything.

True U guess, at the tUMD game none of the kiddies knew any chants..they could barely sieve..

In both cases, the real problem is alcohol.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Let's not say things we'll regret later.

Re: Student section and profanity in your school's arena

My two favorite chants toward the refs are still pretty clean.


1. Hey Ref , are you the " BUS DRIVER "


2. Nuts and bolts , nuts and bolts , we got " SCREWED. "

Re: Student section and profanity in your school's arena

NU's crowds have increased since the team came out of the basement and the downsizing of capacity helps to make the place more full, but they are inching closer to UMass/UVM territory with the numbers of drunk fools who don't follow the sport at all. (The drunk kids who made fun of my friend for apparently being a fool because of his "Who is house is this?" sign sum that up pretty well.) But at least there is a core of those usually know what's going on there.

"Is Us House!"

But yea, there are more and more drunk a-holes, but most of them come out for the "cross town rival" kind of games. On the flip side, I thought the "F$@# YOU N-U" chant at last years Beanpot was VERY classy of the BU faithful.

"5.... 5 year.... 5 year PROGRAAMMMMM!!!"

Re: Student section and profanity in your school's arena

Ferris State used to be known to have one of the worst (Best) Student sections in the CCHA behind Yost (Michigan) until the last three years. Ferris State became real bad.

Since then, students started wearing ski masks, sat down during a complete period in sign of protest, and all in all, the worst one out there - stop going to the game.

The Ferris State Athletic Department is not the bandits, it's the rink manager who kicks the students out and enforces the law. Student's have to be two feet away from the glass, no banging on the glass, no swearing, no nothing.

So, if I were any administrators and they were reading these - I would not crack down on students. They are in college life, what do you expect from a college atmosphere? The rosemary? In Big Rapids, there is a bigger student base than there is a community base. Why crack down on students for a community who doesn't even go to the games?

At RPI, it depends. S**ks is used in about every cheer imaginable involving the other team.

I received the following angry email from someone who was watching RPI's B2 stream on October 31st when we played Army:

As a parent of an Army player, I can’t believe the poor sportsmanship shown by the crowd at introduction of the Army team. I have never heard a crowd tell the other team “you suck” at the beginning of a game. What makes it even more unbelievable is that it is military appreciation night. What’s wrong with your fans?

It was business as usual at the Field House, though the argument isn't completely unfounded (especially given the frequency at which RPI fans announce that the opposing players suck).

Re: Student section and profanity in your school's arena

Considering all that, I'm still trying to figure out who continues to approve the use of the Jet song "Cold Hard *****," which they don't edit (though USCHO apparently does), as one of the songs played when the team comes on the ice.

Jet is a great band!

My favorite part about that was that they took away a sign that said "Fix the Huskies" but let you keep that one. Idiots!

This sign ****ed some people off, but the school didn't take it away or anything..

Do I need to make another editorial to the Poly? This is something we do normally. Outside of HFH, yes they are our military. Inside when playing hockey, they're a D-I school.

It's been done once. I show no shame in doing it again.

Re: Student section and profanity in your school's arena

I got yelled at by an old lady fan at Conte last year. Me and DeVita were talking too loud.

After we recovered from our shock, we resumed talking in outdoor voices.

Re: Student section and profanity in your school's arena

I had a security guard at the DECC tell me I couldn't wear a UND flag as a cape because flags weren't allowed. Then the UMD students ran around the arena with a flag after they scored. Neat.

They took our pole this weekend, but not last year. They let us keep the flag, though.

Re: Student section and profanity in your school's arena

One thing the UMD students did that I really did not approve of was start singing "Na na na na, hey hey hey, goodbye!" when one of our players leaving the ice for an injury. I fully approve singing it when a player gets kicked out, but its completely out of line to sing it while a player is limping to the locker room.

You would disapprove of the 'Shoot em like a horse' cheer then I suppose.

Re: Student section and profanity in your school's arena

They have been trying to cut down the swearing at MSU (East Lansing). The band will start playing right at the "c-ya b****", or a song will be played on the arena's speakers. The band also stopped playing certain songs that the student section would swear during, for instance the "hockey cheer". And the band now will applaud the refs to try and counteract the "boos" and "you guys suck" from the student section when they skate onto the ice.

As a result, the student section has added swearing to the other, formerly 'clean' cheers, they do 'hockey cheer' without the band, and they add "*******...those...Wolverines" to the end of one cheer instead of saying it at the begining (since the band stopped playing the intro).

Last year we solved the problem of the Kohl Center's sign size restrictions (ignore the arrow).
