Absolutely. The whole thing is bizarre. Racial make-up of two teams is nearly identical. But racial chants have no place at these games. I don't care whether they are directed at a black, white, or the only Japanese player on Nebraska. Completely inappropriate, and should be punished.
Penn state students - calling RU players N-word
- Thread starter needmorecowbell
- Start date
Given PSU’s arena size, they should just tarp over those seats behind the benches and put the students in the upper deck endzones which have been curtained off all year
If it happened it should have been dealt with by one of our coaches telling our PSU liaison who then contacts their head of security (or whoever the proper person is) who removes that person immediately. If there is somehow a breakdown on their end that needs to be reported to the B1G because I'm sure the last thing they want is egg on their face from one of their members regarding racism.
Again if this did happen it's a big deal, and steps need to be taken to show that this kind of behavior will NOT be tolerated and lead to expulsion of any and all guilty parties!
Always get a chuckle when State Penn announces a white out.
I'm like, duh!
I'm like, duh!
I remember the old joke:
What do you call the area between Philadelphia and Pittsburgh?
Alabama
Wow.. shocking.. I get trying to get under their skin… but that is ridiculous
Believe me - last thing I want to do is defend Penn state people but I too wonder if it was a widespread thing (which is a big issue) or an isolated idiot or two (still not good but there are a’holes in every group).
To be fair - as RU fans we have had several instances where people attributed the actions of a small number of fans to the larger hole of the RU fanbase
We had it recently with the Michigan game
And remember the Navy game way back when - “RU boos the Naval Academy” I was at that game. Some students apparently boo’d the opposing team as it entered the field (as happens in every stadium in every game) and some idiot writer made it out to be some anti-military statement. I was at the game. I didn’t even hear the boos what I heard and saw was the RU fanbase stand and applaud navy when they entered the field (the exact OPPOSITE of what was reported). Still makes me pissed decade+ as the article was just a fabrication and RU was dragged in the mud for a few days over a lie
Anyway - while it wouldnt surprise me if the actions were widespread (same people that still worship a pedephile-enabler) I still wonder if wasn’t a few a’holes. With that said, if it was “just a few” - those people are a unique breed - to stand out as a’holes amongst the sea of PSU cultists - wow that’s a special level of a’hole

A student section should not be behind the visitors bench in any arena. Put them in any other section.
If our students were behind a visitors bench , I’d be sure there would be a heavy level of taunting and not so kosher things being said
Sharty fans are climbing up the hate ladder this week after bitching about RU not moving the Minnesota game to Tuesday.
Carino is a shitbird. Can't get over his SHU bias and report something that is 100x more reprehensible than alleged booing during the Michigan game.
Hate to break it to you but Rutgers expels kids who drop N-bombs
Carino giving the State Penn students the benefit of the doubt. RU fans last week? Not so much.
Some of you who are saying "if" are missing what was said in the announcement .
"Furthermore , the Police have issued a warning to Athletics ...."
This shows to me that the Police went to athletics to report this and heard it. The word "alleged" needs to be used for legal reasons.
One last thing , ask most parents and students of NJ PSU students why they went to PSU, they might not say it out loud but no doubt part of it would be "RU is to diverse".

Well if this is the "cost" of getting students and other to attend PSU basketball games, it is truly not worth it. They are better off with the morgue atmosphere.
He's an f'ing cretin.
How casually we use the word racist these days
My man... there were legit loud orchestrated f the navy chants at that game.
Because those people are idiots they might say "RU is to diverse" but an intelligent person would say "RU is too diverse"
I do not feel the N word is a "bad word". It is a racial slur with some pretty terrible historical connections.
When you call everyone racist, the word loses meaning
I sit at midfield and never heard it
Most fans at the time thought way overblown
Wife used to have to recruit there. Said the same. Whitest place in America outside the athletics dept. We always laugh looking at their crowds and say "what a diverse bunch" . White out has a whole different meaning in crappy valley😂😂
Diversity is one of the reasons I love where I grew up and NJ in general. Not that there aren't monochromatic areas here too.
You play the game and beat their asses. That's how you combat this nonsense.
Coaches aren't talking to people and reporting stupid ass fans.
These idiots mean nothing.
Was there - near the students - never heard it.
And I was on this board at the time - first time ever hearing this
Perhaps I didn’t hear it cause I was standing and applauding, with the majority of the stadium, when they entered the field
Somebody get the esteemed RU professor Brittney Cooper to chime in, we need her opinions here
The bite is lmk l
Jerry has been super positive about the program and Pike for years now. He's tough on Hall too sometimes. The booing story was the first time I ever scratched my head.

Not my experience, but whatever.
Don't agree with what he says on a lot of occasions but I don't call him names when I do. That's how this thing is supposed to work.
I was at that game, in the student section, the F the Navy chants absolutely happened. Was it a lot of people? No. But it wasn't just 1 or 2 either. Thankfully there were plenty of more level-headed students, myself included, who did their best to shut that shit down.
Then this speaks to one of my points - the problem with attributing the behavior of a few to the whole
