Syracuse basketball "Fans"

I mean, I would think this is just, but how are you supposed to do that if you'd had 7-8 beers before the game? Let me know what brand your bladder bad is...

Also, I hate when people don't wear orange or blue. I saw someone with a green shirt at the Cornell game. What?

Many years ago with Craig 4th was still playing but was every want to be coach is whipping boy he had the same thing happened. Guy was behind me was screaming for Craig forth to get the rebound and he had been in the game for about 8 to 10 minutes. I turned around and said Forth's not in the game and if you don't know more about basketball than tgat, shut up.
I don't think we heard a word from him the rest of the season.
Its all of our jobs to stamp out ignorance.

I had a reaction like that with some kid who snuck into our row during the end of the Elite Eight game in March. Jumping on the seats, saying dumb things, hollering to everyone in earshot about how Triche's older brother was supposed to be ten times the player Brandon was but "never made it."

Putz.

Really soured my experience (partially because he was being obnoxious, partially because I got a little too wild about it) in what was otherwise an awesome basketball weekend in my former hometown.

So, yeah, I don't like those "fans."

I felt this way for years. Now I'm becoming a militant contrarian on this issue.

My thinking: I'm louder and more knowledgeable than darn near everyone there (many of whom are wearing orange but are the same late-arriving, early-leaving, texting mouth-breathers who are the subject of this thread). Doesn't matter what color I'm wearing.

First off - I want to say, I hope I don't come off as an a-hole here, but I've been a season ticket holder for the last 10-12 yrs, and have sat in 3 different sections now. It seems no matter where I go, there is always at least that 1 person or group of people that makes the game watching experience unbearable at times. A couple of examples from our 2 games...

Game 1 vs Cornell - a guy 2 rows in front of me (who thinks he is the 2nd coming of John Wooden) declares the reason we came back in the 2nd half is because we switched to a 3-2 zone. Yes, a 3-2 zone. Apparently he doesn't notice that sometimes our forwards extend out top to create traps or take away shooters. It's a 2-3 zone, not a 3-2 Wizard of Westwood.

Game 2 vs Fordham - a guy a few rows behind me is yelling incessantly at Rakeem Christmas for not getting a rebound. Hey guy...there's a reason Rak can't get that rebound...he's on the bench. That's Jerami Grant out there.

Another guy is asking when Jerami Grant will be back. We're now 15 minutes into the 1st half and Grant has been in the game for quite some time. I just sit there shaking my head.

Maybe I need to exercise more patience, or perhaps I shouldn't take things so seriously, or better yet, I should just ignore these people. But I can't, because this kind of thing drives me absolutely nuts.

I realize this is the case at any sporting event at any stadium, but I'm posting this in the hopes that I'm not the only person here who gets so irritated by some of the "fans" we see.

I think it was last year they had some private boxes available and someone brought up that we should chip in and buy one. I always thought that was a great idea. It's definitely on my bucket list if I win the lottery but I would love to chip in with like 10 other people to get one.

Man, if I head home next winter, I would totally be down for this. Any idea what they go for?
 
I know it's different from what we are talking about.. But I was sitting next to my "die hard patriots fan" buddy during a pats game... Someone recovered an onside kick, and he asked me how many points they got for that...


Same guy that couldn't name 3 people on the pats, not names Brady, welker, or gronk during the last giants Super Bowl... Then got pissed, and said I couldn't name 3 giants players. I named a player for every person in the bar. Had to be 40 people

I had to mention this in response to this post just for laughs. I have been acknowledged as Jerami's Father, Harvey for two weeks in a row and I clearly have on a #2 shirt with Johnson on the back of it. I kindly say that I'm BJ's father and they either start a conversation or continue to walk away. Oh Well. See you guys Saturday.

Hey Bobby, would love to meet up. I will try to pm you before Saturday, but will be there.

In all honesty, I've stayed away from the chat room completely since early last season. Perhaps it's changed now, but previously it was the Wild West, regardless of how the game was going.

It does have its fun moments, but like anything else, if we're down or playing poorly, out comes the Wild West, and off I run into the sunset. ;)

I had a guy come into my office about 5-6 years ago. Saw some yankee stuff in my office and proclaimed himself a yankee "diehard". Then he proceeded to say to me "did the playoffs start yet?" It was mid august.

I almost kicked him in the nvts nuts.

Last night at the game there was a couple behind me that literally spent the ENTIRE game looking at pictures on their cell phone. I mean they must have went through 400 pictures. Pics of the house, pics of the kids, vacations I mean everything. They did not watch one minute of the game. Why even bother going.

I will admit that I use my cell phone during the game but it is strictly texting back and forth with people about the actual game itself.
Expand...
Literally, the dumbest. Exactly, why even go?
 
Look up 'anti social' in the dictionary and you would find a picture of me...no, really. ;) During my time of going to games I've gone from my SONY Walkman to SONY Discman to MP3 player to Ipod. Never heard anything around me that 'got me going' except for my punk music ;)
 
So another post that has nothing to do with this... My buddy just walked into the bar and said "can someone follow me across the street to the chiropractors office so I can drop my truck off?" My wife goes "does your with think you are at the chiropractors?!)

That's exactly what's happening lol. She gets off work at 5... Will drive by the chiropractors on her way home, and as long as she doesn't notice the snow on his truck, will think he's there's.


That's me in 10 years folks

The things that annoy me at a game:

People arriving late. I've stated this in another thread. Get here on time or stay the home. No excuse you can give me other than you we were in a car accident that will work here so dont even try to justify one. And yes you are going to get a dirty look or comment from me if you arrive late and you happen to sit in front of me. you.

People constantly getting up and leaving their seats. I never leave my seat once the game starts. Ever. That goes for halftime.

People that stand up while on their cell phones to waive at friends looking for them. Sit the down and get your big a$$ our of my face please.
Expand...

And I'd like to add one. People who arrive late and have to get their seats while the ball is in play. It used to be that people would have the decency to wait until there was a dead ball or break in the action to come barreling down the isle.
