To be fair, I don't mind the chant. I have been chanting "you still suck" for at least 13 years. I think that is the issue. I am in my early 30s now and I was chanting that as a student. This program has upped its game, maybe the students should as well.βLet your plans be dark and impenetrable as night, and when you move, fall like a thunderbolt.β

What are the suggested replacements for "You Still Suck" after made free throws:
"It's a Miracle"
"Even A Cave Man Can Do It"
"Isn't That Special" (Church Lady style of course)Last edited by 1972Shocker; November 11, 2014, 11:10 AM.

At least be witty with your **** talking. If some moron stood up and simply just yelled "You SUCK" to heckle the players, eventually people would be tired of the idiot and his lack of heckling ability. Why is that when 500 people do it, it's ok? The heckler who is creative and witty gets a cheer or a chuckle from the crowd.
To the people with the ridiculous counter argument of "should people sit down too? Should we stop booing the refs?" it's not even remotely close to the issue. The issue is that it's lame, not funny, not entertaining, and tacky.

Why not the entire student section do the sad trombone sound on a missed freethrow? Get Shocker Sound involved with it.

Maybe I'm old fashioned, but I much prefer the "getting silenced" method. You stand up, make noise, wiggle your little sticks in the air :) and hope for a miss. When they miss, you clap. When they hit the shot, you get silenced and you sit down. You don't really even need to say anything.
I especially don't like "you still suck" when we are playing in an exhibition game. That's actually kind of offensive for all kinds of reasons. I think you save "you still suck" for rivalry games. I am okay with it for that one particular situation. Saying it to Northwood or Newman, for example, is embarrassing to me.
