The conduct at the football games this year is abysmal. I don’t see how threading a curse word into every chant gives our team leverage, or anything, for that matter, besides a bad reputation. Tom Izzo and Mark Dantonio, two of the most esteemed figures at this university, have asked us to show respect and class, yet our chants grow more vulgar and disrepectful every year. Even the band, who prelude our first down chant, is changing up the music just to keep our mouths shut.
This sort of conduct only hurts our image, whether we win or lose. Just last Saturday, as Spartan fans left Notre Dame Stadium, victory chants echoed off the walls so loudly it would lead anyone to believe we’ve never experienced a win in South Bend. Is it so hard to just win a game and get out of there?
