Do We Have a Reputation For Booing?

[abcguyks]

Apparently the KU fans think so.

heck yes...and its mostly true we boo WAY too much

I am yet to notice it being bad. We do sometimes, but I would say there are definitely worse out there. KU being one of them.

KU fans Booo all the time. KSU fans are bad too but they boo for no reason. Im not sure why KU fans say ISU is bad about it. At times there are a lot of Boos in Hilton though.

Yes, we have a repututation. It has been bad. I join in. Part of HILTON MAGIC. Booing through 3 minutes of a TV timeout

Butler fans through crap on the court.

Yeah were not that bad...but if you ask other schools especially KU our fans booing is out of control, just think about it next time your in Hilton

I don't participate in it, but I don't see what the problem is with getting on the officials. The officials get paid to have the best seat in the house for Division I basketball. I think they can take it.

It's not like we boo our team. Heck, we clap for our team as they walk off the floor, even in defeat. Well, the ones who actually stick around do. Not the ones who watch the last 5 minutes from the concourse.

Only the refs because we have a history of getting SCREWED!!!

I think that our booing is the result of always getting the short end of the stick.

 

[CrossCyed]

We are a bit more vulgar (students) and boo more than other crowds I've seen, I'll say.

I think this is a product of last years game at Hilton. I remember there being a lot of threads about this because in that particular game there was a lot of booing.

I can't stand KU fans. They are the only fanbase I've encountered who claim that we boo too much. Watch a KU game at the Phog sometime, and try telling me that they don't boo as much as we do, if not more. Maybe we have a good reason for booing?

Stupid Kansas. I REALLY hope we beat them tomorrow.

Sorry, reffs aren't out to get ISU.

That being said, I think there are schools out there that boo WAY more than anything I've seen from Clone fans.

 

[mike4cy]

Yes we boo a lot, but we get screwed a lot as well. Especially against KU! I am not a big proponent of booing, however I will engage in a boo if it is warranted.

 

[kgreeny]

I think some of KU's perspecive may have come when Kirk Hinich (sp?) was there. I know I booed that trader.

 

[cyclonemaniac7]

I think most fans that are into the game tend to boo. I don't think we do it much more often than normal. Some crowds don't boo much, but they really aren't into the game. I think it's ok to boo, it means you care.

Someone should post a list of all the times ISU got screwed in sports. Here's one for starters, one word, Lucca.

That's probably very true ... I know Hilton booed Lafrenz, Collison & Hinrich. If they'd quit taking all of the instate all-stars maybe we'd boo less.
