Let's not BOOO Army

[Stewo]

Parental failure is obviously an epidemic. Cyclone Fanatic to the rescue!!

Maybe we stumbled into a bastion of cooks...........

I hereby give you....negative rep!!!

 

[CycloneErik]

I hereby give you....negative rep!!!

Because you can't cook up something better?

I'm the moral giver. Without me, MRE's baby!!

I don't think food develops peoples' morals. Your parents should have taught you that.:wink:

I hear that Stewo means facepalm in the ancient Scottish language.

I can't believe that dosry has held back so far. That guy is showing more restraint that I thought he'd have, especially with these softballs.

I am a Marine. I will booo Army. It's my job to do it. I still respect them and will get drunk with them. However I must booo them.

I have morals. I never pick on kids who ride the short bus. And wear helmets. Sorry Stewo.

I think some of you are taking the whole boo thing a little too seriously. It's nothing but a little ribbing. Some people do it, others don't. I sometimes boo, does that mean my parents have failed?

Yes.

A lot of folks don't know this, but it was a short bus that took Stewo to Army Cooking School.

Ahh...just boo 'em. It is a football game. And our boys are going out there to dominate them that day. Go CLONES!!

It is very common when the opposing team takes the field the fans BOOO them. Very OK with this since I usually have participated especially when it is Iowa or Nebraska.

But now we are about to have Army come in and I sure hope we don't boo are future Army Lieutenants (officers). Some of which will most likely end up on the battlefield with in a year.

Who's to say some of those players on the Iowa or Nebraska teams you openly boo arent going to end up being a future lieutenant or become active duty...you cant go both ways...err have it both ways. I say treat it like any other game.

They have my utmost respect before and after, but when they enter the stadium it's game on.

On the topic of booing any team:

I actually prefer what we do in Hilton. Yes, there are people who boo, but I appreciate that the crowd will do the whole clap 5 times when their players are being announced. It shows a little class.

Now, I'm not suggesting that format for the football games. Maybe just get the Cyclone Power chant going when the opposing team comes in. Something more intimidating then booing. Because, let me just say, I don't think a couple hundred people booing does anything for the opposing team.

 

[egami]

I think you all should throw GI Joe's on the field.

 

[Stewo]

If you guys don't stop picking on me, I'll seriously tell my daddy..err dad and he'll come and beat you guys up. He will. He'll do it.

Ok I haven't been around for a while but the season is fast approaching and something keeps bothering me when I think about the Army game.

First, I am sorry if this had been discussed already but it will also need to be mentioned again the week of the game.

It is very common when the opposing team takes the field the fans BOOO them. Very OK with this since I usually have participated especially when it is Iowa or Nebraska.

But now we are about to have Army come in and I sure hope we don't boo are future Army Lieutenants (officers). Some of which will most likely end up on the battlefield with in a year.

I for one was in the military albeit the Army NG but I have the utmost respect for the Active Duty guys more. So I have a plea to start talking about not booing and passing it on to others not to boo that weekend. Maybe Jon Miller needs to bring this up too, to get the word out.

I would sure hope we could be more creative than booing our future Military leaders.

I know it is corny but something like “Go Army beat Navy, but Today is a Cyclone Dayâ€￾ would be far better. Think of a stadium giving a praise to the Army team but reminding them also this is still our house.

Now I know some of the Navy people on here would argue about saying Go Army beat Navy but to bad I was in the Army and it is my thread. Don’t like it think of something else.

Oh my God dude...it is football. get over it.

 

[Knownothing]

Go Army beat Navy

I don't ever see myself yelling Go Army Beat Navy. More like Go Navy Beat Army. This is a football game. I am sure they understand. I would think a round of applause after the game to show them respect would be good.

I might be in the minority here on this topic, but I never boo anyone. In fact, I will occasionally give a polite, subdued cheer for an opponent if it's a player I like or if they've made a spectacular play. I respect the sport and the athleticism, regardless of whether you play for the team I am rooting for. I prefer to cheer for my own team than to boo the opponent. Just my 2 cents.
