Hilton Coliseum vs Allen Fieldhouse

[CtownCyclone]

I was around back during that time frame for the Harrison brother games, etc. My friends and I usually led the charge with "over the line comments" aimed at the opposition with little resistance from the ushers, etc. I would always print out biographies of the starters from the other team, making sure that they included specific details with parents, siblings, favorite dog's names, you name it.

When you head on the road to play in a hostile environment and you hear someone talking about inappropriate contact with your mother it tends to at least get your attention more than a "you suck."

The Harrison timeframe was a good time, because they would usually try to get in a fight with Homan. Talk about getting the crowd fired up!

"Hey Shawn, your little brother Marty told me your 43 year-old mother Denise said you wet you bed alongside your puppy Noodles until you were 10! Must have sucked growing up in.... Rochester on.... Spooner Street with that kind of bladder problem. So shove it Shawn, no one from.... Rochester West High liked you anyway. Yeah! Take that!"

Powerful stuff.

I would probably have bladder problems myself if I heard someone rip that off!

I would not have met one single criteria.

Well, if there was any remaining doubt as to whether or not CA was good for the atmosphere at Hilton, I present exhibit A and exhibit B above. I rest my case.

Well, if there was any remaining doubt as to whether or not CA was good for the atmosphere at Hilton, this should put it to rest.

I dunno. The dude in the top right corner looks like he really knows how to party.

That girl looks a little uncomfortable that his hands are on her.

And then there the girl hiding behind the chair that doesnt want to be identified with this group.

Here's the difference:

Watch the KU student section tonight. They aren't worried about props. They aren't making stupid dance moves and pointing at the jumbotron if they get on the camera. They aren't behaving like children. They're intense, screaming pretty much the entire game, and look more like they're ready to take the floor and fight every mother ****** wearing green/gold or black/white.

The ISU student section used to be the same way. Between making the entire section CA, the restrictive atmosphere of CA at the time, and the terrible basketball of the McDermott era, this all died off. Its coming back, slowly but surely. There were flashes of it during the KU and BU games. But CA is still too cute, for lack of a better term. To paraphrase someone else, where are the grizzled collegiate alcoholics who haven't been sober all semester, and are looking to rip the throat out of anyone in the opposing teams' colors? They seem to by and largely have been replaced with awkward goof balls who are more interested in being on a jumbotron than watching basketball.

It simply isn't fashionable to go to the basketball games and participate in the student section. It is a change I've noticed not only at ISU but also the high school level. Student sections have been taken over by kids that believe they are the ones on display (theater, band kids). I've never understood dressing up in random costumes (gorilla, banana, grandma, etc.). Wear some ISU clothing, catch a buzz, know the game, and harass the opponents.

Looks like many of you have touched on the same thing. I admit I didn't read the entire thread before posting.

This has earned you like and rep. well done.

I think CA created an exclusive group without actually having any qualifications to be a member and the kids that where less popular in high school jumped on the chance to be one of the cool kids.

Hits the nail right on the head. CA is one group of people that has been given too much authority. They don't accept anybody that will change anything because they are all too proud of themselves. IMO they really limit the possibilities of what the student section could be.

JUST BE THANKFUL THEY DON'T DO THIS TO FOOTBALL

Ok. So I'm sure it's been discussed, but what does it/will it take to get rid of the CA and just have GA student section so the die hards are there in front.

The CA, according to the vast majority on CF, is the issue. What's it take?
