whether basketball or football games, i think sporting venues would be a great opportunity to show support even in the upcoming months that NC State cares and has compasion for VT's loss

4/17/2007 3:17:09 PM

uhhh, I don't get it.

What would NC State do? Cheer for VT?

4/17/2007 3:18:26 PM

here we go with the Katrina/New Orleans bullshit

4/17/2007 3:19:02 PM

how do you lose VT? its not as if its a set of car keys.

[Edited on April 17, 2007 at 3:21 PM. Reason : .]

4/17/2007 3:19:43 PM

ofcourse not cheer for VT to win the game, but sporting events are the biggest thing to bring schools together

anyway it would be a nice gesture

4/17/2007 3:19:54 PM

the best thing to do is to proceed as normal. making fun of marcus vick is a good start.

4/17/2007 3:20:53 PM

have the players wear black armbands with VT on them

let the crowd take a moment of silence


other than that, let it go

4/17/2007 3:21:59 PM

sounds reasonable

4/17/2007 3:22:40 PM

^^agreed, the last thing they probably want is to be reminded of it when they have a fleeting moment of release.

i love the idea of state fans being relentless

but class or no class i think(hope) the fans will handle the next game appropriately

4/17/2007 3:28:11 PM

^^ where's that from?

and the clap deserves to get made fun of. and chris paul punched jules in the nuts.

this assumes that we can actually pronounce "Cho Seung-Hui"

clarification: no one actually said that quote yet, I just like to prepare myself for the worst

ofcourse someone will try to be a smart ass

it wouldnt be tww without them

4/17/2007 3:51:26 PM

maybe moment of silence, but that's about it...

and then back to making fun of Marcus Vick

i wonder how many times the announcers will applaud the athletes and students for finding the courage to compete and support the team

4/17/2007 4:22:06 PM

I want to show solidarity with any school, especially sister-school, who suffers a tragedy like that. Look at how closely knit we are as a community and imagine how we would be affected.

Have a moment of silence, maybe wear armbands... then go back to making fun of Marcus Vick.

4/17/2007 4:24:02 PM

i hardly think chanting about McCants' clap compares to the VT shootings

4/17/2007 4:26:13 PM

How are these shootings sports related? It will be months and months before there ill be a televised game anyways.

4/17/2007 4:42:40 PM

^^*agreed*

And which is really classless... making fun of the clap, or getting it in the first place.

[Edited on April 17, 2007 at 4:42 PM. Reason : ^^]

4/17/2007 4:42:41 PM

It was sad and I agree but its a sporting event. Unless a player from the team died or someone close to each team I wouldn't bend over backwards to be to nice to them. What are you going to say to them?? I would let VT decide what they want to be done at their own home games. The chanting of the guys name isn't funny at all. the other jokes about chris paul or about McCants was funny and harmless.

4/17/2007 5:01:41 PM

the ACC is going to be all over this

4/17/2007 5:07:39 PM

Moment of silence, then proceed as usual.

4/17/2007 5:27:33 PM

moment of silence...then win, i know i was pissed two years ago when NO beat the Panthers in the regular season opener...i was pissed when the Mets beat the Braves right after 9/11

4/17/2007 6:31:05 PM

best thing we could do for VT in games against them is to shut down all the douchebags

you know the ones i'm talking about, i'm talking abotu the guy who's going to have a 6 foot picture of Cho and hold it up during the game, that guy gets a beatdown immediately. i'm talking about the guy who tries to start the "you got shot" chant during the game, that guy gets a beatdown too...

that's the best thing we could do, make sure that the asshats out there are silenced...

4/17/2007 6:42:14 PM

Is it bad that I made a VT joke today at work?

4/17/2007 6:53:48 PM

yes

22.3 years

We can be more clever than that

We really can't. We don't do clever. We do blunt objects.

I'm sure VT fans will appreciate the media bringing this event up every time they play a game.

4/17/2007 7:21:26 PM

it's going to be six months before we play any game of any worth against them. by then few will care about this anymore (at ncsu)

4/17/2007 8:35:42 PM

i dont think 6 months will be long enough to forget anything like this

4/17/2007 9:04:43 PM

didn't they cancel spring football practices?

I dont think they care too much about sports right now

4/18/2007 1:09:50 AM

gameday could be unbearable to watch this year

it was bad enough having to watch the depressing stories about matt leinart having to wear glasses as a kid.

just think what they'll do with this

4/18/2007 10:18:43 AM

just mute it and listen to the radio
