Upper deck heard F McGary too.

My mom asked what the crowd was chanting. I said I couldn't tell, and my dad laughed.

I'd just like to say that I believe it's a crime that fans chant things especially if it is not 100% logical.

They should be ashamed of themselves for being excited that their team is upsetting the #7 team in the nation.

We need a music major in here to explain why both chants sound alike, due to what I will call "pace" of the chant.

'dun da dun-na'

Both overrated and f*** (name) are to the same cadence.

There was never an overrated chant. One side started chanting f mcgary and then everyone else joined in too on the other side of cyclone alley. They weren't all saying it together so it didn't sound like it at first but it was definitely f mcgary.

Chanting bs, or a random chant in response to a bad call is one thing,
Ongoing F chant makes ISU look bad. Grow up and have some pride.

Kansas last year was louder for longer periods of time and I think had a more volatile feel to it. This one was loud but calmer if that makes senesce.

Please. I'm sure back in your day Hilton was the best atmosphere around and people only had nice things to say to the opposition.

Even the ESPN graphics guy picked up on McGary's new nickname:
