Wow. I've seen some bad fans, but to chant this?

I've been there several times and never heard such.Anytime I've been there, they chant the same thing towards BAMA
*sigh*Don't we aim an f-bomb or two at AU during Dixieland Delight? Perhaps not as bad, but by orders of degree rather than of magnitude...
I was at the game in Knoxvegas in 92 sitting in the east upper deck next to the student section and they were chanting it.I too have been to Knoxville several times and, unfortunately, only once (back in '92) have I not heard that chant from the ut student section. We've sat in the upper deck, behind the 'Bama band, hasn't mattered, the chant has been clearly audible. Another example of how sour the rivalry has become.
i remember hearing many crude and crass things from the student section when i first started going to games as a kid in the late 70's. its not just "society today"Mob behavior, plus alcohol and youth. Sad, but not totally unexpected in our society today.
As for the "apology" - I didn't see one in that statement. Maybe he apologized, but it was not included in the linked article.
I agree - same at OSU in the 80's. By "today" I didn't mean this group of kids, but this probably doesn't happen in the 50's. Then again, I wouldn't know for sure. Maybe I am just getting too old to relate.i remember hearing many crude and crass things from the student section when i first started going to games as a kid in the late 70's. its not just "society today"
