In Reply to: AU Fans Last Night posted by 97Devil on January 24, 10 at 14:46:34:
: I don't really want to get into this too much, but I have to get this off my chest. There are countless posts after every football/basktetball game about the lack of class and downright horrible behaviour exhibited by some AU fans. I also realize that bad fans are part of every college athletic culture. Last night we once again experienced what seems to be an epidemic within the AU fan base. Families with children having to move or leave early due to horrible language and downright verbal abuse. Maybe we're just unlucky the past few years, but I'm getting to the point where I refuse to bring family members with me to the rival games anymore due to this problem! This rivalry brings out the very immature and ugly side of people. I'm sure there are bad apples within the ASU fan base, but I can't believe the behaviour exhibited last night by a few really irresponsible people on the AU side.
: Rant over and thanks for listening.
: And to our team and program. We are very proud of everyone on this team. Even with this loss, it's so incredibly exciting to have a program on the up. Thank you coach for building something special here in Tempe, and thank you to all the players that work so hard for our program and university!
: Go Devils!
I sit on the 20th row behind the visiting bench. We always get visting fans that sit directly behind us. Especially now that we did nor renew 4 of the tickets. Anyway, we had a couple of morons sitting behind us (not to mention a few ASU fans who didn't even know who some of our players were). HORRIBLE! Both of the Kitty fans started mouthing off at the end of the first half. I turned around and told them that they were in the wrong seats to be talking smack and to shut their mouths! One of them started acting tough and said, "what did you say?" I then stood up and said, "I told you and your friend to shut your mouths!" Then I turned around and sat down. Even though we got our butts kicked, they did not bother me the rest of the game. The game was an embarrasment! Our lack of a big man really comes to light when we don't make our shots!!!! Boetang is one of the worst big men we have had in a long time. Bring back Tommy Smith or James Bacon for crying out loud. I hated watching that game. Go Devils...
