OT: Villanova reaction after being upset in NCAA tourney
- Thread starter jay_hq
- Start date
OP ... With this on the football board, thank you for not title-ing the thread "Down goes Nova".
Yep. In away it was a funny pic but there are people on this board with tangential issues that they are trying to deal with by making fun of a young lady's misery. I am sure there were some more appropriate pics of Jay coming unhinged toward the officials in the last few minutes that would have served the agenda more appropriately. Everybody has a story about a Nova, BC, UConn or Cuse fan that justifies this. Of course RU fans are alway well behaved when posting on other boards.
Except that noone made the argument until you did and after I posted. The argument was that people said we shouldn't talk because of our record and have no idea about what actually happens at the games. So please continue to talk about nothing to do with the issue. And let me guess you have been to plenty of Syracuse basketball games too and they have been nothing but civil and respectful in our arena and if they say anything its our fault.

The damage to our school that adding a school that has NO BUSINESS palying Div1A football to an already wounded conference would have been catastrophic . And why did the BE bball schools and the Providence College Shill du jour try to shove this down our throats? To save their own hides and prevent the football schools from bailing .
Screw them. And all of the CYOs. LOSE LOSE LOSE and then LOSE again.
We have people making fun of a girl whose regular NCAA tournament team lost whle their team has not been in the tournament in over 20 years. Then we have a vulgar meme, hopefully for someone this is not Curt Schilling's daughter. And as usual the anti-catholicism comes in. This thread aint pretty.
Lol at people lecturing....I can always count on PC crowds on this board to act like they are saints and judge people
You know what...when I saw it live I laughed...when I saw it posted here...I laughed...its funny...

I wasn't the first to make the arguement, and you are again introducing something that has nothing to do with my reaction to your and other posts (first PSU, which you then went and deleted, and now Syracuse). It's a total low class move to take out frustration by posting and mocking a college-aged woman playing in the nova band who is upset that her team lost, and that sort of thing makes the ru fanbase look bad.
You say you aren't defending that, fine, but the context of what you wrote, in this thread, left me with a completely different impression.

Welcome to the internet age. Do you not laugh at any memes? What of the poor girl caught on camera at the tOSU championship caressing her alleged "side piece?"
Did you condemn the constant use on the this site of UConn fan and player pictures after we beat them famously in 09 or the pic of the USF fan crying I believe that same year?
Did this girl think attending a nationally televised sporting event that she some huge right to privacy?
You either know her family or typical sympathy from a CYO fan. Get off your high horse because this happens at all televised sporting events, I was on TV at the Temple game in Philly in 2012.
Your post is a bunch of nonsense.
In essense, you're saying because there are lots of low class things on the internet, its ok to post low class things on the internet. Further, you are saying that the only person who has the moral authority to call it as such is the person who goes on a personal quest to call everything out that they see as low class. Like I said, your post is nonsense.
I don't know the girl or her family, so I can't tell you if she thought she had some right to privacy. Maybe she did, maybe she didn't. Bu that's not relevant, either, since no one is arguing whether her image could have been shown as part of the broadcast. I'm simply saying posting it and mocking her is low class.

Now looks who's backpedaling.
My post that I mentioned PSU was at 9:15AM, and it is not an edited post. Its still sitting there, you can look at it yourself. The only thing I took out was a later past about how many Nova games I went to which wasn't pertinent to the argument. The whole point of my post, for the second time, was to comment about how people were commenting that we shouldn't say anything because our basketball team isn't any good. There is angst from the long time RU fans against the Vilanova fanbase and that if you have any history with that you would understand that and I compared it to taking that stand when PSU comments come out. I still did have not one word in any of my posts mocking that girl. Once again, you are looking for things in my post that wasn't there.

Check your edited post at 11:30am or so. Denying you linked PSU in their back to me, are you?
No, I'm not back peddaling. I still think you were mocking, and I just reread your post about moral high ground that I first responded to. I'm simply saying that there exsits a probability you were dfending posters who felt it wasn't low class to laugh at this woman. I'd peg it at 10% or less, but it does exist.

Frida, you do realize that my whole point about the PSU comment was to compare the Villanova post to the PSU posts, everybody thinks its fine to have fun at PSUs expense but its not ok to post about Villanova becasue the basketball team is so bad.
I will say this for the third time, my posts did not mock the girl.
There was also a game on Thursday night where a small child was caught crying after his team lost. I found it hysterical. Why would the producer put a pic of this on screen... to get a reaction.
I don't want to edit my last post because you will use it for ammunition, but I want to add to it. Why do keep on defecting the issue? I posted because I was ticked that people felt we shouldn't talk about Nova because we don't have a right to with our program. You took my post and commented about the girl, and I am telling you my post was not about the girl. Its as simple as that.
Its a fan board, so I'd expect shots at opposing teams. Totally fair game, of course. And I'd agree that RU's lack of success is not relevant to whether or not you can have a laugh at another team's expense. But when you post this girl, to me, that's crossing the line. It's different than the network showing her - they are not trying to get laughs. They are showing how disappointed the team and its fans are about the game. But what happened int thsi thread is something else, and seels post addressed some moral issue which does't seem to have anything to do with criticizing a team.
I'm done with this, though, so I'll accept that you didn't intend to support those mocking the girl.

What Patrick, numbers, and Seels said
Some fan base were good visiting the RAC
Some were not
Cuse was worst
Nova not far behind
Never had a problem even with the hall
Fans. They just rooted hard for their basketball team
Btw...they were asshats when we played them kn the eastern 8 too

The gif and meme of this girl is all over the internet...do a google search. She is everywhere and now a part of internet folklore forever just like that gif ofthe little kid crying with the Duke jersey from 10 years ago.
Well, shoot, if it's all over the Internet, then it must be ok. Surely there is nothing wrong with things on the Internet. I mean, what's funnier than laughing at women and children crying?
Are you serious? Someone crying because their team lost? I get feeling sorry for children. She is not a child.
This is hysterical. I can't stand VIllanova and everything they stand for. Has nothing to do with the state of our program. Watching their adult fans cry after losses is seriously entertaining. Its all part of March madness.
Did I cry when we had Syracuse beat up at Cuse for the first time ever and lost to a crazy last second shot? And If I was in the stands, and there was a video of me crying, I would deserve that being on the internet with Cuse fans laughing their asses off. That's the way sports are.
I was just happy to see Villanova lose.
I've despised them even from before I went to RU, when I was a Penn fan back in the late 60's and early 70's.
They crushed Penn in the 71 Eastern Regional Finals with Howard Porter and Chris Ford. Oh yeah, their Final Four appearance was later vacated.
Later on, Rollie Massimino was an arrogant, jerk and tried to end the Big 5 round robin series.
So, yeah, if the girl cried, it meant Nova lost, which was a good thing.

I was at the RAC earlier this season, and a kid (maybe 7) started getting upset and crying when Rutgers was losing. His mother told him that it was not OK to cry about a basketball game, and that they were there to have fun, not to get upset.
many VU fans, especially those that post, are super nasty and disrespectful towards RU--they seem to think they have god given approval for all they do--yet forget about their own sins (DuPont pervert /law school rating scandal)--in my opinion they are really a bunch of cookie cutted individuals that lack diversity and love to crap on the St. Joe's of the world--to say they are full of themselvers is a gross understatement.
Bac,
Your arguement is basically this:
Girl cried on TV
Image plastered all over internet,
Because she is on GMA, it must not have been in poor taste to mock and laugh at her, no less post teh image to begin with
It's simply an extensio of your prior post, justifying your laughter at her expense because, in essence, everyone else is doing it.
You're ok with it, I get it. I couldn't disagree more.
That's it.

I want more of these, to be honest. Absolutely hilarious and could care less about the girl's feelings. We all get upset over sports. Part of being a fan...Originally posted by WhichReligionIsRight:
who cares...why are you so bothered that people got a chuckle over her...and yes most people did, its not a big deal. Lets not pretend that we live in a facebook utopia where everyones sh!t does not stick. A pet peeve of mine is faux outrage, not saying yours is but we need less lecturing and hypocrisy in general.
Because, in my view, the laughs were for all the wrong reasons. It wasnt good natured, at least not by many who posted in this thread (not saying you're in that boat). It's not laughing with her, it's very much laughing at her. I don't like it, and think its sad that such a thing is accepted. Yes, this girl seems to have taken it all in stride, but no one knew that would be the case when the photos were initially posted.
Chick crying over a hoops game. It isn't like her dad died and people are laughing at her. This whole thread is stupid.
