Go to a swim meet or get ear plugs. WRA is going be loud and rowdy the rest of the year!
If Kopp stayed he’d be playing behind Martinelli. I know first hand he was know on the team as a whiner and they were glad he left. Another recruit whose opinion of himself was higher than his talent and performance on the court. He’s on a worse team at a worse school now he really has a reason to sulk!
I’d like to think you and I would have done the same together in our day! That’s effective.
Joe Crispin, one of our favorite targets.What universe are we living in if it's considered pearl clutching to not think it's cool for hundreds of people to basically just yell "f*** you" in unison at a person in an entertainment venue? Am I some sort of weirdo here? I'm really supportive of good student section taunting!
This isn't about whether or not they should be loud. It's awesome that they're loud and that they want to show up. I was there for "Hoosier Daddy" and the hunting vests the following year. I was 5 feet away from Gene Keady when he was screaming at us for getting in their heads. But I don't recall anyone ever suggesting "why don't we just cut to the chase and yell f*** (insert name here) a bunch" because we would've thought that was insane. Although I guess that would've been fun to yell at Joe Crispin for 2 hours
Careful, seems like Miller tends to read social media. May want to keep this to the pay board or get accused of having a lazy eye, my boy! I know I have invested in a mirror to scan the undercarriage of my car before I start her up.If Kopp stayed he’d be playing behind Martinelli.

I’m not sure you’re quite following. No one is saying that that yelling obscenities at player is classy. Nor is it necessarily moral, though we can argue utility if you really want to. It’s not even particularly clever. What we’re saying is that it is one of many highly effective, specialized, and focused tools being deployed by students to help us win a basketball game. (Which I personally value more than being perceived by some as “classy”).
When Reggie Miller was playing for UCLA in the '80's, the CAL fans would scream "Cheryl" (his sister, one of greatest ever) whenever he took a shot. It was pretty funny, but had absolutely no effect on his near perfect 3 pt shooting. As I remember, he even enjoyed it.
Reggie Miller and Miller Kopp have only their name in common.
This was an example of fans using a slightly witty insult, not intended as a comparison of the players.
Reggie’s name even appearing in a thread about a turncoat is besmirching his good name.
