How about the foul when Griffin went over the back of Eaton and Eaton was called for a foul?

For those Poke fans that are offended, the stuff being said about the Griffin brothers’ ethnicity and their mother on the OSU message board is FAR worse than any use of the word “sucks.”

there is nothing wrong with the word suck or chanting ‘xxx ssucks’ This happens in most all college rivalries. I seriously doubt an 8 year old child’s first exposure to this word is at a college football/basketball game. Are we going to let political correctness creep it’s way into every single facet of our lives. I hope not.

The JD that will be hanging on my wall in May tells me I have studied plenty hard. If you don’t like what the word “sucks” means then you need to take it up with Merriam-Webster. I especially like how they define the slang version of the word which is referred to in the chant: “OSU is objectionable or inadequate”

transitive verb
1 a: to draw (as liquid) into the mouth through a suction force produced by movements of the lips and tongue b: to draw something from or consume by such movements c: to apply the mouth to in order to or as if to suck out a liquid
2 a: to draw by or as if by suction b: to take in and consume by or as if by suction
intransitive verb
1: to draw something in by or as if by exerting a suction force; especially : to draw milk from a breast or udder with the mouth
2: to make a sound or motion associated with or caused by suction
3: to act in an obsequious manner —usually used with up
4slang : to be objectionable or inadequate
— suck it up : to make the effort required to do or deal with something difficult or unpleasant

There is nothing an OSU fan can say a message board that would justify crude chants by OU fans. I have never expect OSU to show any class. The recent decision to not sell single game tickets to football Bedlam is a great example. I still expect OU to show more class than that. We used to chant “Beat Cylo Tech and Poor Aggies” I never attended a game in stillwater but I would not be surprised if they did something worse than that. OU fans should still show some class. I was not at the game, but I did watch in on TV. I turned it off when the chants started. I was sorry the whole country had to see our lack of class.

It’s those fine upstanding OSU fans that post on a certain OSU message board that should be commended. There’s nothing quite like saying terrible things about the Griffin brothers’ mother and making fun of their ethnicity, is there?

If you do not think “sucks” is profanity, maybe you should study a little harder!! What do you think sucks means? I had a professor who would not use sucks in chemistry class.

At least they didn’t blare “Angel is the Centerfold” over the loudspeaker…

Like there is not going to be any crude chanting in Stillwater. My God man, it’s Bedlam! No profanity no problem.
