Student tickets for KU game

Have you guys discussed coming up with ways to quell or eliminate inapropriate chants (such as **** You, etc.) that make our student body sound like unintelligent assholes or entitled pricks while we're getting prime national TV coverage? BTW, the USA chant was creative and well-done.

I think the student section was rocking and you guys did a great job yesterday. I'm not perfect and swear with the best of 'em, but when it's obvious and coming from the student section in unison, it makes us look bad as an institution and is something we need to get rid of if we want to be seen as a premier student basketball section.

Again, great job yesterday!

I chuckled when I read the first half of this post. Mostly because we agree 100%. I’ll say one thing - think about WHERE in our student section these chants start from. Hint: it’s the top 15 rows or so. This should explain quite a bit. Not to deflect either - but it’s just a fact that the type of student starting these chants is NOT the same type of student that understands the dynamics or expectations of what we want to be the BEST student section in the country and we have 0 control of them getting into the Keg. This would be a good chance to give a s/o to ARGUS security who - at least in terms of student section - does a very good job helping and not getting in our way.

Also, whichever one of you said to Tyler Self yesterday “your dad open mouth kissed you as a child” was the funniest thing we have ever heard in our lives.
 
I like the f'em up chant. Buffaloes, buffaloes, go CU sounds too weird to me now.

I do as well, but I understand from the school's perspective how you don't want that language in a national broadcast. They stopped playing Rock and Roll part 2 at MD games.
 
I just feel like everything is becoming too sterile. I don't have kids yet so my opinion might change. I hope not.
 
We brought our 10-year old daughter to the KU game. She loved it. There are 3-4 guys that look like they're straight out of college who sit right behind us. They do a reasonable job of self-policing their language, but they can't always completely control it. It's not like she hasn't heard that stuff, but it's also not like I want her thinking it's acceptable public behavior, either. I appreciate the guys behind us and their efforts to control their language. I know it's not easy.

That's Bull....ogna.
 
Always a fine line to me at a sporting event on the language issue. If there's kids around, I'll definitely make more of an effort.
 
I hope that the f em up chant doesn't disappear - that is a true tradition

I remember about 10 years ago, the CU brain trust had the band cut off Rock n Roll part 2 to avoid the F ' em up cheer at football games. We did it anyway , band or not

I used to hear it at Rockies games, Bronco games and all other non-CU events.

LOL being from Maryland, any area national anthem seems to have atleast a faint O. I have to remind myself not to do it whenever I'm out of the DMV.
 
I don't remember hearing it anywhere else... it doesn't make sense

F em up F em up go Rockies?

Every time I hear it at Rockies/Broncos/Avs games it's still "F em up F em up go C-U".

I used to think it was the official cheer. We cheered it at the Orange Bowl when we won the National Championship.

Then I grew up and found out it isn't the cheer.

I didn't realize it was that old. I have kids on the way, and while I'm sure I'll be telling them to earmuff it during the cheer (or just telling them it is "BUFFALOES, BUFFALOES"), it is one of the best and most aggressive cheers I've heard in college sports. Now the "bull-****" chant and "F-U-[INSERT SCHOOL]" chant are completely unoriginal and purely obnoxious chants we can and should get rid of. Leave those to the ag school.

I think the bull**** chant is fine if it is reserved for times in which the call was obviously bs. The FU _____ chant should go. F em up, F em up, Go CU is how I learned the chant and how I'll continue to do it.

This. I found out we had another fight song after I graduated. Well after I graduated. I still have a tough time yelling "Buffalo" at the right time.

As a Ravens fan, the best BS chant ever was the game against the Pats last year.
 
I hate how the student body has added the "F em up F em up go C-U" to the end of the fight song. I love the chant as its own but not paired with the fight song.

When did it start? It has happened as long as I have been in school.
