Ohio State post game altercation
So maybe the title is little misleading,but I figured you'd enjoy this
Story #1. Evan Turner apparently didn’t take too kindly to the jeering he was getting by the student section, as soon as the game ended he made his way over to the student section yelling at us that we were all “F’n B*tches” before walking off the court.
Story #2. William Buford fouls out of the game, he too is rattled by the apparent harassment from the crowd and commences to grab his crotch, shake it at the student section, and point at the scoreboard.
I posted the video as a fanshot.

Rattled?
I’m pretty sure they were both more dumbfounded at the obvious stupidity of the home crowd than anything else. They’d spent the entire game booing calls loudly that frankly had no business being booed, then thought it was funny to start getting on players who’d just kicked Penn State’s ass.
When Burford did he crotch grab, the student scection had been doing it’s “Left, right, left right SIT DOWN,” jeer. Why? I’m sure Burford was glad to sit down. He had a good night. His team had a good night. And he was getting heckled by the losers’ fans?
Don’t blame the man at all.
Nittany Nation was embarassingly ignorant to pretty much everything last night.

The left right left right thing is just a fun thing for the students to do at a game, and your argument is that had we played better or that guy played worse it would have been more appropriate? Basically it’s done at every game regardless of the outcome, because fans are a mob, and mobs don’t collectively decide how appropriate something is.
And really, fans boo calls all the time. Every call against Penn State in Beaver Stadium is boo’d loudly. You can’t see a holding call from 100+ yards away. Just like you can’t discern a valid shot foul from 100+ yards away. So you boo. Because damnit, that’s just what you do.
I’m confused at all the outrage: it’s not like we threw rotten fruit or incited a riot. We had a conference rival come into the BJC, and we boo’d and jeered them. We also boo’d and jeered them during the football game where they also kicked our butts. I didn’t see the outrage then.

This wasn't a football game
I know what you’re talking about and I don’t have a problem with that. It’s normal.
What’s not normal is to boo every play, and I mean every last one that doesn’t go Penn State’s way loudly and bitterly. There was an angry edge to the crowd last night that I frankly don’t understand. Yeah, it was Ohio State, but c’mon. I’ve been to the last three OSU home football games (two of which we lost), all of which were infinitely bigger than last night’s game, and I’ve never felt this kind of fury and rage just boiling over.
I honestly wondered if I was watching the same game as everyone else

ARRRRRGHHH
Ok, first of all, I believe you are once again overstating things.
There was an angry edge to the crowd last night that I frankly don’t understand.
Yes, I have a name for it: “We’re pissed off because it’s Ohio State, our team is fighting with everything they’ve got, and the refs made some seriously bad calls, so now we’re going to boo BECAUSE THAT’S WHAT A STUDENT SECTION IS SUPPOSED TO DO!”

I can't believe it's come to this...
This is the first time I have ever said this about anyone, but I really wish Fugi was not a Penn State fan. It seems there are other fanbases that would be a much better fit for him.
I don't feel that way
Everyone is entitled to their opinion.
Apart from hating Curley, I’m pretty sure fugi loves PSU as much as anyone here.

If anyone was rattled by the fans
It was the Penn State players and coaches who seemed convinced they were getting screwed by the refs when they really weren’t at all.
Thump your chest all you want. Turner and Buford were probably just sick of being in a room of horrible basketball fans.
God Created the World Out Of Nothing, Paterno Built A National Superpower On Cow Fields...
Fugi, didja watch the game on television?
If not, stop telling us the calls that were booed weren’t bad. Because they were. I saw the replay of Battle getting called for a foul after barely grazing (and that is an accurate description) Turner’s arm. There were four truly bad to awful calls last night. The above mentioned one. Two that led to whatever it is Lewis Preston did, and the standard “foul” that leads to an and one opportunity (in the ref’s defense, that seems to happen more every year). That’s just off the top of my head. Now, the calls probably didn’t cost us the game, but they didn’t help our cause and the students are supposed to be rowdy and pissed off. Maybe if you coached a two win Big Ten team was fighting their guts out against a much superior team you’d feel differently if the refs were making things difficult.

But going by the way you’ve been attacking fans for booing atrocious calls, it sounds more like you were in the bathroom.
And I’m pretty sure I wrote a defense for the and one calls, even though we did not get “plenty last night”.

When the play literally happened 30 feet away. It was out of bounds off Penn State.

30 feet away and with no replay, and you know for a fact it was good call? Sorry, Fugi, the cameras were just as close and they replayed it. It was out of bounds off Ohio State.

"We just forgot our pants. Nothing against the team or anything like that." -- take a guess
Truthfully
Turner has license to say a lot worse about our student section, considering they’d just spent the last two minutes of the game hurling much grosser insults at him for no other reason than A) he’s really good and B) he was standing within ear shot.
Completely unacceptable. We were like fricking West Virginia last night.
God Created the World Out Of Nothing, Paterno Built A National Superpower On Cow Fields...
West Virginia
Whoaaa there fugi…. I am a die hard PSU fan through and through, but my academic travels have taken me to WVU currently. I have nothing for respect for what you write, but I hate when people paint with such a broad paintbrush. Our fans can be a little crude here yes, and the throwing of trash on the court was incredibly stupid. However, the WVU student section did not throw anything at Pitt’s coach. It came from a section filled with Pitt fans.
So I would greatly appreciate if the dumb hick redneck jokes were not used.
Ok, tell me which fan base is worse then

Wah.
The student section is supposed to be rowdy and they’re supposed to boo every call they think is bad, and they’re supposed to REALLY boo every call that IS atrocious. That’s what they did last night. Throwing trash is a little too far sure. But I think Flyersman is taking the wrong approach here. I don’t care about them grabbing their crotches or whatever. They won, we lost, big deal. Rather, the student section should be a little more proud of themselves for apparently annoying Ohio State players and offering a slight distraction. Because…. that’s what they’re supposed to do!
Stop talking like you’re a ref’s mother, Fugi.

You guys
are informed and experienced enough to know that the crowds at FB games vs. BB games are entirely different in demeanor…BB crowds, from their proximity to the court, feel more a part of the “game” probably than FB….Hell, it’s been that way forever…back in the day, I was asked to leave a BB game, prior to the game, because I made a joke about the bald-headed coach of the oppostion…today, bald is in. Aside from actual physical contact and really foul language, I say go for it.
Agreed.

I don’t care if our fans were retarded, fans do that sometimes. I really don’t care that Evan Turner was dick to retarded fans, that happens sometimes too. Also, it obviously didn’t get too bad, I watched the game, and the highlights on sportscenter and…..nothing was mentioned about Evan Turner.

I called them the Nitwits last year and the president of Nittany Nation emailed me to correct me. I’m pretty sure he said the university asked them to change it because their marketing consultants thought it projected a poor image on Penn State’s academic reputation.

Brandon Ware better get his act together, otherwise, the 99 countdown is ruined
…at least until the next day
My take
Booing and jeering happens. Taunting and name-calling happens. Just look at Duke…their fans are notorious for this kind of stuff. Nobody cares.
Could people stand to be a bit classier? Sure. Is it a bit silly to taunt players on a team which is beating yours? Probably.
But bottom line, Turner (and every other player) is getting a free ride to play the sport they love. If anyone should be watching their actions, it’s them…..they have a lot more to lose.

I don't disagree with you
I can’t sit here and say I’ve never booed, or never given an individual player a ton of s*** (cought, Ryan Braun, cough) but last night was…over the top.
It was anger. It wasn’t heckling. I enjoy clever heckling, and I think most players do too. The best way I can describe it is “militant”.

Well...
We weren’t a spectacularly easy group of fans, yes. But frankly, I don’t know what he expected, what with him being a Buckeye and this being Happy Valley. Not to justify our actions or anything, but it is what it is. And he is the one in the spotlight. So in the end, maybe it would have been smarter to let bygones be bygones. Last thing someone in the spotlight needs is video evidence that could be so easily taken out of context.
My favorite part, personally, was when TV Announcer Man went into a little speil about how Turner and Battle were oh-so-cool, yo. It was almost sweet, until Turner went for the crotch.

Seems like a big bite to try to chew here Fooge
I believe—and stop me if I’ve jacked this up in any way; although I routinely excel at the oft-underrated skills of Reading and Thinking, I remain capable of the occasional mental fumble— that you are endeavoring to define a moral distinction somewhere down through the middle of the Behavior of Crowds. And after so doing, you further attempt to assign levels of propriety to each side of that new definition. Do I have this right?
More importantly, do you think your current arsenal is actually capable of this ambitious aspiration? You’re familiar with the notion of choosing one’s battles, right? Have you been thoughtful about this one? I mean, there’s no crime if you haven’t (Mike didn’t get to 3million visits without a fair subsection of doofusery squeezing through the cracks); it just seems to this reader that your Posts & Stories have improved so much in critical areas of wisdom, judgment and organization and your comments in this thread seem to falling short of that bar.
Now don’t get me wrong, this obviously isn’t the first time this mission has been undertaken. As Penn State fans, we routinely self-examine our personal and crowd behaviors—our moral righteousness being such a thick part of our fanatic fabric. It’s just that, reading through this thread, it appears you’re getting your ass kicked.
