Norm, Johnny, Tubbs, were all coaches with a lot of swag, the crowds were rowdy and the coaches played right into it.I’m young enough the Quinster was the first Mizzou coach I really “knew” so to speak. Based on stories from Brent and on here pretty disappointed I missed most of the Norm era
You are incorrect. Words matter, they always have.They're just words. Words alone can't hurt anyone.
And ****(inson), and before that (Grady) **** is literally his name.
@alarson, Dude, it's my opinion. You don't have to dumb everything you disagree with.They're just words. Words alone can't hurt anyone.

We live in a society that doesn't want constraints or rules.
I would be in the camp of folks that would be in favor of banning vulgarity from the students. Let them be more creative.

I'm not sure I am in the mood to read this thread tonight, but I agree with you. Why don't you pass this on to the AD?What a great day and fun atmosphere. But am I the only one that cringes when our student section chants:
F**k KU ( or whoever we’re playing ) and
You suck D**k ???
We had a 8 year old boy sitting beside us with his father and he was as uncomfortable as it gets. Is the vulgarity necessary?
That's fine. And your opinion is also dumb. Fair?And I think its a dumb opinion. Because it is.
How do you ban it? Then you have to ban adults also? The only way any banning happens if all our big money boosters stop giving money because college students say f***. That is not gonna happen.You are incorrect. Words matter, they always have.

I guess that's another question all together. I haven't given it much thought. Will leave it to others, if it ever gets that far.How do you ban it? Then you have to ban adults also?

But some on here say that words are just words and don't matter, or don't have significance, is just silly. Words do matter and they always will.
Since the thread has come up, I would rather the ISU students not chant vulgarities to the opposing team or coaches. That's my opinion.
Disagree again. There are much worse things, I'm afraid.Thinking that "bad words" alone actually are harmful is whats "silly". Not one single person has ever been harmed by the usage of the word "fúck"
How words are used and the context within is how words do damage. Words in and of themselves? Not at all.
People who spend their time clutching their pearls over "bad words" by and large are the worst. There's no real such thing as a "bad word". Just bad intent.
Can’t speak for others. Just for me.Thinking that "bad words" alone actually are harmful is whats "silly".

I worded that wrong. You cannot ban vulgarity from students or anyone. What I meant is that I would be in favor, since the subject has been broached, of somehow discouraging the students from using profanity in their chants and banners.How do you ban vulgarity from the students? I'm supportive of them being more creative, but I can't conceive of how to ban vulgarity without turning Cyclone Alley into Salt Company Street.
I think it's a reasonable expectation to be able to take a child to a college basketball game. But I also think it's a reasonable expectation for said parent to expect some curse words in their surrounding area as that is typical, and HAs been typical, for quite some time.
The chants have become excessive and increasingly more vulgar. It's a complete lack of class and entirely unnecessary. Oddly enough it didn't used to be this way at least not remotely close to this degree. As someone who was at the game I can say yesterday's chants were overly vulgar and excessive for a college bball game, probably tripling the number or amount I have heard at other such games.
