Why?

Somethings is sacred. No need doin that wit the star spangled.

So, since the majority of the posters here think that the photo of the girls team was too much, what are your thoughts on the signs posted last night?

I’m just curious because I am usually the one accused of being too PC and I thought they were a very creative idea.

As I posted last evening, the look on Fr. Maher’s face was Priceless. He didn’t know where to turn to. Monasch, Norm and all the staff had a look of disbelief on their faces when they realized what it signified. I wish I had look for the Tech coach!

The NJIT players on the layup line right in front of me looked like they were shell shocked. No smiles were detected.

Who cares? I didn't know we had to achieve "x" amount of wins for "x" amount of seasons before we could taunt a team. Please enlighten me on the bar we have to surpass before we're aloud to taunt another team.

When your team has as proud and established a program as we have, and we are 7 years removed from our last tourney birth, 6 from our last NIT berth, and didn't even make our own conference tourney last year, I think mass taunting of another team's shortcomings should be kept to a minimum.

I was actually referring to the signs, not the picture of the girls --- and I think that's what most people were.

I disagree, I think its a part of college basketball. Fans have shown up reading newspapers at the game because the other team wasn't worth watching, have made signs, creative chants(where's my laptop/ipod), etc.

Its a part of the fun and culture of college basketball. Its a way to gain a competitive advantage on our home court. To say we shouldn't do things as fans at games because we're not good enough or haven't been good lately is lame. They're doing this stuff to help our team get better.

As for the picture of the girls it was a joke, a satire. Just like SNL makes fun of the president, its for comedic purposes.

What I said before that you guys would find something to complain about its because you complain if there are no students at games then you complain if they are quiet, then you complain if they are too loud, if they say something you don't like. Make up your mind.

I'm sorry but you guys are ridiculous!  It's a college Friggin basketball game.  I understand if someone doesn't want to hear cursing or the word sucks when they bring their kids to the game but signs and a pic of a girls basketball team is funny.  Go ahead and complain about our lack of wins, complain about Norm's recruiting and coaching.  But please don't complain about our fans/students coming up with creative ideas to taunt our opponents.

So it would be ok to it if they won 1,2,3,4,5,6,7? where do we draw the line.

I agree we didn't need to do it however who cares if we did? It was funny and I'm sure it didn't help NJIT's confidence going out on the court. Students did well in my book lets not put them down for showing some inititive.

Win with class. . lose with class...    

The fans have certainly expeienced enough losing to have learned to do it with class..   maybe once the team starts winning they will learn how to do that too..

we're the nerdy kid who gets puked on at all the parties...so we go home and smack the dog.
