Please think of the following. LSU has thrown ****, cussed in chants, threatened lives and even taken lives at Death Valley for years now. Every once in a while ESPN will start browbeating them for calling Tebow's cell phone or saying "17" in a chant, but the rest of the time all you hear is how passionate they are and what a great place to watch a game. MSU hoops took a step towards that last night, which is fine with me. Also, it wasn't the first time a bottle has been thrown on the court, it happens at about every other game.<div>
</div><div>If the SEC or NCAA really wants to fix **** like this, the need to devote more money to referee training, make these guys professionals and pay them like it. Hell it's not like the SEC doesn't have the money. Pay them enough to make refereeing a full time job and hire an ombudsman to watch every game and tell them where they got it wrong. It wouldn't completely put an end to fans crying foul after a game but it would help a lot.</div>

and what was really uncalled for was that little drama filled spill from the announcer about how it was a black eye for MSU, right after it happened. This will be forgotten in a week and if anything, the Hump will be considered an even more intimidating place than it already is.

+!+@ ESPN and +!+@ the snide remarks from Forde and his ilk. I'm mad because we lost another big game. No moral victories, officiating, etc. We just lost again and I'm about ready to pull out a few of these. We are MSU I guess.

Forde is pissing me off by calling out the all 10,788 fans that were in the Hump. He knows good and dam well that it was a only a handful of jack asses that threw stuff. We should hold his *** responsible everytime ESPN screws up, however that would be a full time job.

There's an incredible over reaction going on by some of these posters. A couple fans threw 2 cups onto the floor ... that happens occasionally in college athletics, reasonable people understand how passionate fans can be, and that such things can happen. It's not necessarily thisawful "blemish" or a "black eye" to The University, as the d-bags from ESPN stated.

I don't want a single damn visiting player, fan, or coach, to even remotely look forward, or welcome, a game at The Hump. I want them to think "**** we have to play at The Hump, those 17ers can get crazy."

So the spotlight's on us for right now, and isn't any press good press? just sayin'

If we had totally showered, just blanketedthe entire Kentucky bench w/ food and drinks, then yeah that's not so cool ..that wouldhave been embarrassing,but a couple drinks on the floor at the end of aVERYintense game against the No. 2 team??...... is it THAT embarrassing?</p>

Not that I condone what happened, but any fanbase put in that same situation would have similar results. Some much worse than what happened last night.

Before any Rebel lurkers start casting stones, I've seen much worse in their stadium. It was a few years ago when Ole Miss upset FL. About 10 rent a cops surrounded the goalposts closest to the band. They were showered with the big souvenier mugs and whiskey bottles. There were acouple that were physically assaulted and it got to the point of pepper spraying the surrounding mob.</p>

similar things have happened at most college basketball venues where the fans give a damn about the result. my only comment as a rebel lurker is where was the "ref outrage" last week when msu shot what 28 foul shots to our 6 or some such? the only real uniform thing about college basketball IMO is the crappiness of the refing and the fact that teams like kentucky, duke,etc always get the calls.

Because ESPN is talking about it today, and ESPN is where most people get their sports news.)

But even if it wasn't it's referring to people such as movie stars who can become a bigger celebrity even from negative press and therefore become more marketable. No one has ever argued that any press is good press when talking about a university. That's incredibly moronic.)

If we had totally showered, just blanketedthe entire Kentucky bench w/ food and drinks, then yeah that's not so cool ..that wouldhave been embarrassing,but a couple drinks(once again, an outright lie)on the floor at the end of aVERYintense game against the No. 2 team??...... is it THAT embarrassing? (Yes, it is.)</p>

It's embarrassing and should have never happened. But, the talking heads will forget in a couple of days and life will go on. If you dig hard enough, I'm sure you can find a similar incident at ANY school. Certainly it doesn't happen every day, but it happens enough now that it shouldn't be considered "shocking" and it wasn't like the floor was showered with cups from all directions. It was 2 cups. The game was delayed literally 20 seconds. This is not shocking - for any fan base. Would I rather it not have happened? Yes. Is it as big of a deal as some would make it seem? Maybe for today and tomorrow. But, in the grand scheme of things - nobody will care long term.

UK fans will harp on this to defer the attention away from what happened over the last 8 minutes of that game. They have a ton of talent on that team. But, if that's all the game they can give us, they are setting up to be very disappointed in the NCAAT. If Cal can't get them to the FF with that lineup, he's not the coach I thought he was.

OM fans will harp on this because its low hanging fruit. But, like I've said, they are no stranger to making asses out of themselves either. They will tire of this as well.

The only thing that really works me up is the fact that UK gets a free pass on the ****** officiating and nobody wants to seem to acknowledge that Cousins himself was acting like as *** on the court and immediately after the game. I know he had a reason to be pissed, but 19 points and 14 rebounds did all the talking he needed to do. Gesturing to the crowd during live play and talking **** to fans immediately after the game is wrong, too. Sure, I can understand why he did it - I'm sure it was an emotional game for him. But, that's a reason, not an excuse. Why does he get a free pass for acting like a dick but the MSU parties do not?

on phone messages and text messages. Cousins is a fine young man that is incredibly talented. He has a great personality and is going to be a really big star one day. You people should be ashamed of yourselves.

at a game during the 70's fans were removing nuts and bolts from bleachers and throwing them on the floor. You'll always have idiot fans who endanger the safety of players, coaches, refs, etc...

He stated (and I agree) that the head coach needs to take control of the situation.

Tell him to produce the text that were racial or you and he can shut the <17> up, anyone can say somebody said something, but proof is were it's all at, hell I can say you just IM'd me and called me racial slurs, but can I prove it? If kentucky fans are calling us rednecks, what do you call a bunch of toothless, coal mining, banjo playing folk from kentucky.
