Game 23: #8 Houston @ #16 BYU (W 77-66)

I see LDS being used as a short-hand fairly often.

@BYUcougarfan

anti Mormon plays (like the Book of Mormon play on broadway

Freedom of speech to make plays like this whether tactful or not…

But in arenas it can be banned imo

[BYUcougarfan]

I agree. I think schools should ban it, and stuff like the aforementioned Texas tech chant.

[coogman91]

Ban cussing from college kids?

Like the BULLSH!T cheer?

Or our students with the “motherfu__in” Cougars?

I’m gonna go way out on a limb and say that isn’t feasible.

[Kyle_Be_Coogin (Kyle)]

You could ban religious slurs/denigration of religions being chanted at games…

Idk how you’d enforce it… technical foul…?

I know that’s outside the box but that wiuld work…

@BYUcougarfan

I am 98% sure Houston wins by double digits

Spread opened at +2.5

Down to +1.5!!

@ehog

Samp hates Young. Coogs by 35+

Free money then, you say? @ehog

I think it already is. Schools just don’t go after students for that stuff because it just makes it worse.

I would definitely not favor calling techs because of language from the crowd. That would get out of hand in a hurry. Our refs can’t even call fouls consistently - we definitely don’t want to task them with determining insults.

[Kyle_Be_Coogin (Kyle)]

Not singular insults but a chant is easy to recognize…

Cue the Tech fans buying Houston gear and sneaking into the student section

[Kyle_Be_Coogin (Kyle)]

True… can’t trust those unwashed heathens!

[sphinx (sphinx drummond)]

It would be naive to think they don’t already have a few moles in place around the conference…

[ehog (derp)]

If I bet on this, I guarantee the opposite happens. That’s how my bets work

A whole section of us got thrown out of a Coog softball game back in 09 or so, when one guy called the ump a moron for calling a foul tip strike 3 on a pitch above the head with no ping sound from the bat.

Coach immediately called the conference office.

[coogman91]

Baseball umps are notorious for the rabbit ears. We don’t need more of that from officials.

I was there at that game. Umpire’s name was Walter

The dilemma for the B12 Conference is to take action, someone needs to register a complaint. I believe coaches are fearful, not only because they think their reputation will take a hit among their peers, but because filing a complaint with the conference will become public and other schools will copycat the chant.
