Hilton has a national reputation for intelligent fans, not fans who stand the most. It is when the fans rise to their feet and get loud when the team is struggling or needs a lift that has earned us the reputation. We have fantastic strategic cheering that players and coaches say really makes a difference.

Young guy calls out old people at 1:45 AM, goes to bed....ensuring that other than the few young people still up, a whole bunch of old people will light him up for the next 6 hours since they're the only ones awake early enough to have time to be posting on the internet.

Also the old people are at work today, paying for his life style of staying up until 1:45, probably drinking and spanking it to some internet porn (probably doesn't have a g/f since he's posting on the internet at 1;45am). Chances are he will miss class today since he was up so late he will be too tired to attend.

Then after he spends 6 years in college (maybe finishes a degree) he won't understand why the old people won't give a job paying him 6-figures.

I didn't really pay attention in school, so I'm probably wrong, but I think it has something to do with the sunlight reflecting off of the moisture in the atmosphere.

Get out of here with that garbage!!! Next you will probably try to say that clouds are not made of cotton candy.




Seriously though I thought it was blue light reflecting off air molecules in the atmosphere and not moisture. But who knows I'm a stupid farmer.

And yes I just googled it to find that answer so I sounded smart.

I sat down because the chicks behind me wouldn't stand and I would feel like an A hole standing up the whole time if they didn't and blocked their view.

You can still do all those things and make it to class on time. Even after partaking in Wednesday night drinking sessions or mug night. Not that I can vouche or anything...:no:

I'm sorry but I think that is BS. For all the crap that older people talk about the students on this site, you would hope that the old people could back it up. Strategic cheering? Lol. Come on man. If your strategy is to stand up twice a game, you're doing a fantastic job.

Why do young people wear pants falling down and shorts to their ankles? Someday your kids will see you in pictures and point and laugh and you'll say to yourself, "What was I thinking?"

Signed, Elephant bell bottoms and disco shirts that showed midriff - on guys.

Don't forget the half-unbuttoned shirts with gold chains...

I was at the game with my daughter Tuesday, and there was a lady several rows ahead of me - easily pushing 80. She was up and down, shouting and cheering the whole game. Very impressed - props to her.

The kids behind her had their heads buried in their cell phones the entire game, and not once did I see them get up.

Yeah, the serious answer is that you feel like a ***** for standing up and not letting people behind you, that aren't comfortable standing, see the game.

Students get crap either for not attending or for attending and looking like a nerd/looking like a virgin/chanting F*** McGary/not harassing the other team enough.

To be fair, why do old people stand during timeouts and not the rest of the game, why do they come to the games, why do they always leave three minutes early, why don't they leave early, why do they look like aging nerds, how do they have kids and stay virgins, why do they chant F*** McGary, why don't they harass the other team more?

Maybe we should just take everyone's tickets away.

This battle of the ages really makes you feel that way sometimes, doesn't it? OY!

I'm not sure why we spend so much time hating our own students and fans and so little hating some of the despicable trolls we have around here with some form of the bird "hawk" in their team names.
