I sat by an OSU fan at a baseball regional many moons ago......to say he was obnoxious would be an understatement.Originally posted by SB Shock View Post
The very worst experiences I've ever had with fans was at SMS games.
In HCMT's last year at the old SMS crib - Some drunk started cursing at my then 13 yr old daughter. Luckily, one of the SMS fans alerted security of the situation and they hauled his drunk arse out. Several of their fans apologized.
The other game that Fred - Ron and Cle made the terrific comeback in was by far the worst. I had a great single seat at center court. SMS took a pretty big lead and their fans were yelling in my ear and getting in my space - chanting over rated - they were pissed when we made the comeback but continued to heckle.
The walk to the car was filled with rabid SMS fans cursing and talking about how they got screwed. I just smiled and kept walking.
People are passionate about their sports teams. Some of them get out of control. It's too bad but it's just part of it.Comment

I love the games with OSU and hope they continue in all sports. Our fan base is very supportive of our team. Toxic No! and in no percentage. This smacks of butthurt!Comment

I'm guessing this is a KU fan on here just trying to troll. Don't feed the trolls!

I'll never forget the loud mouthed BYU fan (around 65) that sat behind me in KC that asked if we had been challenged yet (I think we were maybe 6-0 at the time?) and I told him that all of our wins had been fairly easy and by double digits. I thought we were having a polite conversation until responded "good, you're not ready for a tough game and our guys will be too tough for you!!" Running the smack for the most of the game including the most obnoxious "COUGARS!" you could possibly imagine at least a hundred and fifty six thousand times.Originally posted by moshock View Post
Until we emptied our bench up 10 and I turned around and he was gone......thank God. So annoying.Comment

Keep in mind that the Oklahoma Big 12 teams were the first 2 on board with agreeing to play WSU because the Kansas Big 12 teams won't. I like the idea of playing the Oklahoma teams, but they may have rushed the decision of agreeing to play multiple games against WSU without really considering that at some point someones feelings might get hurt. I went to the Intrust game against osu and the game 2 years ago down in Stillwater. I never witnessed any negativity from the osu fans or wsu fans. Playing them seems like a non-toxic idea thus farComment

Does WSU have annoying fans? Sure. What fanbase doesn't?
Speaking of Doc's experience in KC, at that same event, I had the misfortune of being around a certain longtime Shocker student section fan that you all know and don't love. I swear to God that he wouldn't shut up. It was almost like he was talking to himself. I asked our ticket office staff whose @$$ I could kick for putting dude behind me.
When Doc and I were in Indianapolis for 2017 NCAA, there was another Shocker fan sitting near us, again who someone of you all might know if I said the name, who was totally annoying. WSU never committed a foul in her eyes. Look, I get rooting for the Shockers, but if the call legitimately needs to go against the Shockers, don't ***** about it every single time. Also, during halftime of the Dayton game, she kept whining about how her family told her that the TV guys were mentioning Scooch (stud Dayton player) a lot. "Talk about the Shockers too!" was her gist. By this point, I was annoyed and kinda snapped at her. "Dude has FIFTEEN points at half! Of course they are going to talk about him a lot! Shut up!" Doc and I noticed that she found different seats for the Kentucky game two days later.
So...can WSU fans be annoying? Yes. Toxic/Abusive/Over-The-Top? I have never seen that.78-65Comment

I nearly witnessed an altercation at the OU game in OKC last year. Shocker fans near us (and around the arena) continued to stand and clap (as is our tradition in CKA) after we scored. OU fans sat down but didn't like that some WSU fans didn't. In that case, with us all being spread out in the arena, rather than packed together, AND not being at home, I think we all should have also sat down. But that's just me.Comment

I attend a lot of games as an out of town fan and I am always paranoid. Most fans like most people are mostly rational -even if the get a bit rowdy. Good natured smack talk and rivalries are part and parcel of enjoying the experience.
But all it takes is one jack wagon to ruin your night/week/life.
On a personal note, my favorite after-game-butthurt was when Billy Tubbs swore he would never return to Wichita after his TCU team was "taunted mercilessly" during a Cessna classic game (a game in which TCU wan't even playing against the shocks (they lost to VCU), bwahahahaha).Comment

I had forgotten that - As much BS as I've put up with living in the Springfield area over the past 15 years - I do wish our Shox would come in and mop up every other year.Originally posted by shoxlax View PostComment

Choo Kennedy was rumored to have flipped off ku fans in Lawrence when they clinched (a tie) for the B8 regular season one year. He was in fact pointing to his ring finger.
And it was GLORIOUS.Comment

Exactly. We know our place in the college basketball pecking order, and leave that behavior to Kentucky fans.Originally posted by WuShock16 View Post"In God we trust, all others must bring data." - W. Edwards DemingComment
