Here is a strong piece from SI's Grant Wahl about college basketball fans crossing the line from clever and annoying to vulgar and dangerous.
Players and their families do not deserve this kind of abuse, period.
(Except opposing players at Lynah Rink in Ithaca. Kidding, kidding. Sort of.)

Speaking of Lynah Rink, I hope you noticed that the Rangers made a trade for a former Cornell goaltender on Tuesday.

My favorite is still: Cameron Crazies wearing underwear on their heads to an NC State game after on of the State players had been arrested for stealing underwear at Kmart or some such store.
Do the fans in Lynah do the "Sieve, sieve, sieve, goalie" song (to Haveh Nagila) like they do at Harvard?
We do say "sieve," and I can assure you anything done at Harvard we must have done first.
nothing tops the student section in oxford, oh, including the wannabees at cornell (sorry, best)
