OT: Stay Classy, Wisconsin
I did a quick search and didn't see this mentioned. Since some of the most recent threads are in reference to class, I thought I would throw this one out there.
Apparently Wisconsin fans (student section) were pelting their own cheerleaders in their own stadium with snowballs. It sounds like it may have started as some fun in the stands among the fans, but got out of hand.

If you were going to chuck snowballs find more worthy targets. Besides, some of those male cheerleaders routinely hoist women with one arm, why would you want to F with them?

Next thread will read: "Stay classy Indiana; reports that some male crowd members were making eye contact with female students"

Ideally, they get married in college and start pumping out kids as fast as possible. That's one of the central tenets for social responsibilitythat Smith put down. Spreading the faith through rapid procreation.

This one is even better!

Boring game, so the students had a little fun. It went too far though.

When the penalty count was something like Mich 10, PSU 2, I was quite capable of doing the same thing.

For a change of pace!

"Who's going to lead your cheers now, huh, Wisconsin students?'
The students and fans? Cheerleaders are not needed and are a vestige of a bygone era. Cheerleaders are a distraction and hangers-on. They were obnoxious in middle school football, obnoxious in high school football, obnoxious on the college level, and just plain strippers on the NFL level. The game can and should do without them. Although I guess someone needs to "host" the recruits at SEC schools.

None of this, including cheerleaders should be needed in this era. We don't even need players. Just get hologram recreations of a game randomly generated by a computer.
I'm glad we see eye to eye on the game experience.

it seems like you hate everything...like who hates hoodies
November 22nd, 2015 at 9:39 AM ^
I like cheerleaders. Obviously you have no appreciation for the work they put in to get there, but you don't have to pay them any attention...plenty of others will, including me. The UW fans involved in this should be ashamed of themselves.

I don't disagree that cheerleaders are somewhat pointless in today's game, but they should still be treated with at least basic dignity that all humans are entitled to. And not referred to as strippers as a whole.

was robbed by incompetent refs (actually the replay officials). That said, I was sort of pulling for NW to win that game. I prefer a universe in which Wisconsin slides back to being an irrelevant team.
November 22nd, 2015 at 8:57 AM ^
Wisc., Iowa, and Nebraska really hate moving to a 9 game conference schedule.
They have to play another team from the good side of the conference.
I would call the snowball thing a step up. They use to throw batteries.
Remember when Mercury Hayes got hit in the face with a snowball at psu?

be rotating into Michigan's schedule next year. Do not want to worry about Wisconsin getting an upset against Michigan a ruining the playoff runs Harbaugh will be making each year.

Humans suck in general. Even uofm grads like some of us. Some are worse than others (coulter, the unabomber). So when a kid at Msu wants to harmlessly burn a couch on a shit street on campus or build a snow penis....its indeed adolescence. But it's also kind of funny if it's not hurting someone.
If it hurts somebody and your own, it's idiotic. And no, we are not above having idiots on our side. We just tend to have less of them. Imo.

I was a student in the 90s...marshmallows, pizza boxes, bagels, etc..were often thrown at our own band, the camermen, our cheerleaders, anybody within range. I remember somebody brought an inflatable sex doll into the stadium and that was passed around resulting in many angry letters to the editor in the Daily on Monday.
November 22nd, 2015 at 10:11 AM ^
Yeah, hate to confirm the marshamllow thing but I was in the MMB from 95-98 and marshmallows were thrown at us as we walked by the student section the entire 4 years. Sometimes they were frozen, which was the worst. Once the field turf was installed Carr asked for marshmallows to be banned, and they haven't been a problem since.

I set the bar for classiness by hanging out in only the classiest bars. Well...no, that's not true. Oh, 8 Ball! How you've ruined me!

alccohol tends to get the worst out of people. Not exclusive to any one place or school. Yet somehow our youths have been bred to believe that they can only have a good time drunk. It's why psychotherapist will never not be a good career choice in America.

Those who use the word "classy" frequently lack the very thing they accuse others of lacking. Plus, please stop with these condescending threads. Our student section pelted the Ohio State band with snowballs when I was a student. Students do dumb but amusing things sometimes. And the word "classy" grates on the nerves something fierce. It is just a terrible attempt at conveying meaning. Please define what it means to "have class." Then use those words instead of "classy."
