Crying for students to come out and this is what you get.

I'm actually ok with it.

 

[aTotal360]

I hate us.

At least they're chanting something.

[Dr. Funke.sixpack]

At normal speed too

 

[bulldognation]

They were chanting over-officiated.

 

[DerHntr]

Embarrassing. The commentator was quick to point out it not being a good idea to chant that while losing.

 

[Son_of_34]

You 17'ers are deplorable...cant wait for baseball season so maybe just maybe y'all can have a sport not to complain so much about since there isn't a student section

 

[BulldogBlitz]

They are dead on
That Kentucky team isn't great.

I get your point and agree with it but this is an outlier. Have you ever heard the fans of the team losing by 7 in basketball chanting Overrated? I've watched a ton of basketball and this is a first for me.

In general, the students do get a lot of **** here that doesn't amount to much.

 

[KurtRambis4]

HOw can

you defend that? It's dumb. Indefensible.

Kentucky at Vandy just a week ago.

Seriously? Holy ****. Maybe this generation is a lost cause after all**

S-E-C! S-E-C! S-E-C!

 

[o_dawgnabit]

Dumb... yes. But it's not worthy of being the hottest thread on the message board dumb. We have been the skid mark of SEC basketball for the past 5 years. We finally have a team that people want to watch and have a chance to possibly make some noise this year. But yet we are still talking about the students....

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

This is proof positive our fanbase ate paint chips as toddlers.

U.K. Is not overrated.

If it's "dead on" it's not a slight. We might as well have cheered "we suck".

And you can officially 17 off.

 

[Mafiadawg]

18-20 year olds are stupid. Not a big deal.

 

[pmack65]

First people ***** the students are no shows. Then when their section is completely filled and are coming back to watch basketball then you ***** about what their saying. Who cares what they say as long as they support the team and help fill up the Hump. Dump *** thread!

 

[Allday.sixpack]

At the time of the game, the officials had thoroughly intervened to influence the outcome. I agree on the surface it makes no sense, but the sentiment of the chant is that we went toe to toe with a national contender, we were a 14 point underdog and it took some Kentucky biased officiating to help Big Blue to get past us.

 

[FlotownDawg]

The students did some of you a favor. Without their chant, y'all would have nothing to ***** about.

 

[StoneColdSaidSo.sixpack]

They were out of 17n bacon by halftime.....

 

[Digging dog]

To be fair, the students haven't had anything to cheer about for bout 5-6 years. Most people go to college for 4 yrs. guess they are learning. It was loud on tv though. Sounded like it used to when I was there (late 80's - early 90's).

 

[IHATEUAVEL]

We have beaten State 10 Straight Times

UK is the King of SEC basketball always has been never changes Stick to football oops we beat you there also never mind

If you were the Kentucky fan in front of me last night, the lady beside me said you smelled like a wet fart.

Lighten up Francis! The students showed up, were loud and had a good time! I didn't like that cheer BUT put into some perspective .. it sure beats them sitting in the dorm. They are not very organized .. but they haven't had a lot to cheer about over the last 4 years.

Attend ANY UNC-Duke, UVA-UNC, UVA-Maryland or other major ACC game and you will hear the same or even dumber chants. It's what kids do these days.

Our focus should be on the fact that MSU showed it could compete and forced Kentucky out of their game. Go read some sports pages. Most are about "how' MSU played last night NOT about a dumb cheer.

To wit ..

Malik Monk got lured into it. The Cats' leading scorer, at 21.8 points per game, had one of his worst shooting performances of the season, going 5-of-14 from the field. He was often the one with the quick release before even allowing his team to get in place for offensive boards. Those long rebounds were part of the reason why Mississippi State was able to get out in transition, scoring 20 fast-break points.But mainly it was UK turnovers. Oh, the turnovers.

MSU was 12-22 from the line. Kegler went 0-2 from the line during a key 2nd half run by us. 1and1s were missed. UK's big men spent a huge amount of time on the bench in foul trouble.
The game was called tight, and it seemed there were some questionable calls, but it was hardly called in a way to influence the game to UK. We absolutely had our chances and couldnt capitalize enough. We also went 5-17 from deep which is under the season average.
Tough to overcome so many turnovers(19 total), especially when many were unforced, like holding the inbounds pass for 5+ seconds or traveling by taking a step before dribbling. And some of the forced turnovers were just MSU passing it to UK(Q in the 2nd half and the entire meltdown of turnovers at the end of the 1st half).


The flow of the game was near non-existent due to fouls, but questionable calls were made against both teams(Tech on the dunk for example) and the refs didnt call it to ensure UK won.

 

[Junction John]

But how will these kids know they did something stupid unless we tell them?

I have to help kids not do stupid stuff at my house all the time - it's no big deal. Easiest thing is to admit they were wrong, and don't repeat the same mistake ever again. You're welcome.

 

[Junction John]

All it takes is 1 smart kid NOT to start an overrated chant when we are LOSING. Or, a few smart kids around him to say "Shut the hell up, dude" when he starts it.

Someone with some sense needs to step up and lead cheers. The rest of them will follow the lead.

 

[Shamoan]

tight is an understatement. my biggest issue was the 4th on table. he was in traffic and set a screen. feet were still, body straight, doing nothing different than any mundane play and he gets hit with the whistle.

 

[KentuckyDawg13]

While the calls were almost even (MSU 28, UK 24...so much for home court advantage), the overabundance of calls favors a team like UK due to their depth. Without Herard, we were hosed...just Lamar and company refused to believe it.
Unbiased refs and a neutral setting may have been a better situation.

I see what you did there. Funny, reference.

 

[saltslugs]

No

One smart kid not starting a chant does nothing. I'm sure there was one smart kid that didn't start that chant. There were probably 500 smart kids not starting that chant. It takes one idiot to start that chant and about 100 ignorant students to follow... and that's what happened. It's not a big deal.

[thekimmer]

Lets just chalk it up to being rusty....

.

After all, none of these students have ever seen a relevant MSU team because last time we had one they couldn't stay up late enough to watch it so they don't know how to act.

With that said, I have never understood why you would ever want to use the 'overrated' chant in any situation because even if you pull the upset you really cheapen the accomplishment.

 

[tenureplan]

Well, we have the refs, muskburger with "witherspoon", and Ready's defense still right?

 

[bruiser.sixpack]

Hey hillbilly, remember when your wife went to the rest room? She was in a stall with me. We talked a lot about my kids she birthed. She said she was glad they weren't **** heads like you. Oh and tell your mom, I said hi! Best I ever had!

 

[00dog]

It was great to get more folks at the game and to have some noise. I just hope the students keep coming, and I don't care if they have a special chant for the announcers or the folks who work concessions. Lighten up, Francis.
