Miller Kopp

[DarkSide576]

The chants of our student body directed at Kopp were uncalled for, in my opinion. If you want to joke around, joke around. I use foul language rather liberally. However, I would never direct it at an opposing player in a chant. Especially a player that gave our school THREE YEARS OF HIS LIFE. Their chants made us seem like douche bags. Again, my opinion.

Northwestern.....Indiana's B1G team

 

[NUinIowafan]

What were they chanting?

 

[Hungry Jack]

We Love You

 

[elgatoloco]

Collins sounded really unhappy about that

 

[CoralSpringsCat]

[GrandRapidsCatFan]

What were they chanting?

Bless you Miller, for more vulgar values of bless

 

[TheC]

I’m ok with the students chanting at him, but how about something clever instead of so crass. This is a game. That was way too creepy and mean.

 

[DarkSide576]

What were they chanting?

F-U-Miller

 

[Secho99]

Sounded like “F*** you Miller” on TV. I don’t love it either, booing him when he has the ball or taunting him when he misses shots is standard student section behavior but that seemed a little too much even if he left us behind. And I love a good hostile student section.

Soft take. Sorry, if even 1 of those chants caused him to go 1/6 in the game or whatever it was worth it. Students have nothing to apologize for. Would I prefer something more clever? Yes. But we need our student section to be pitbulls to set the tone and they are coming thru in spades. The days of Northwestern being soft in any respect should be over.

 

[Katatonic]

At least make it somewhat witty...

It’s a game, man. Competition is great, but there is a line.

Yeah, it struck me like the kind of chant you might see at a Premier League match, but without the cleverness. Those are NU students, they have to have the IQ to come up with a better chant, I agree...

 

[pawildcat]

Yeah, the f-bomb is not only uncalled for, in my opinion, but is not particularly inventive for a fanbase supposedly attending a superior academic university. Any drunken Ohio State frat boy at a football kegger can come up with that.

 

[zbag51]

He could’ve made a few shots to shut up the crowd. Instead, he did as he has whenever he’s played against us and missed a ton of shots. Let the students chant.

 

[JournCat]

It was a little tacky. “Traitor” or “dropout” would have been fine. I did like “We want Miller” when he was on the bench.

 

[UpsetAlert]

Let’s get off the moral high horse here. You can’t argue with the results. Regardless, I’d rather be arguing the politeness of our student section than over who we should blame in a loss! I don’t know, maybe don’t transfer to a conference rival or make a shot and our students will shut up. If not, deal with it.

 

[phatcat]

Part of the problem is that the student fans have no blueprint. They don't know what to do. We've been bad for so long, and they know they are supposed to be loud and proud. Even the crowd closeups make them look like awkward dorks. Not an excuse, but they just don't know.

Also Killer Mopp is a bum

 

[EvanstonCat]

He gave us three years, but he ditched us and bad mouthed us on the way out.

Pete Nance and Ryan Young - I’m thankful for their contributions. Miller? Eff him.

 

[PURPLE Book Cat]

In general, clever chants targeting Miller were warranted and part of the college experience, though Wildside DO BETTER THAN F-U-MILLER. Lame

The student section was an embarrassment in their DUI chants at Purdue and the FU chants against Kopp. Other than that they were great. It is a shame they could not come up with something clever. They have really been a huge asset at the games.

Agree. BUT you can’t deny its effectiveness….

Nah. F-bomb chants naming a specific opposing player have no place in college sports. Maybe only against the NIL guys who are paid as much as pros…but still. Bball games are small enough environment where players can see and hear exactly who’s heckling them unlike in football.

I even felt a little bad chanting “8th grade science” at that Illini kid back in the 90s when I was a student!

 

[GatoLouco]

He’s slow
He’s beer
His shot is nowhere near
Miller Kopp
Miller Miller

It was lazy and dumb

Glad you’re not in the student section! Let the kids cook!

 

[Dugan15]

Count me among the pearl-clutching softies who thought it was unseemly.

It's fine to chant. No need to be assholes about it. Come up with something better.

 

[PURPLE Book Cat]

*sigh*
I have to agree. I also would have been far worse during my college days if I had a student section like this. It is UNREAL

 

[PURPLE Book Cat]

Also nice touch on the "we want Miller" chants when he was on the bench. That is totally called for

 

[GrandRapidsCatFan]

He’s slow
He’s beer
His shot is nowhere near
Miller Kopp
Miller Miller

It was lazy and dumb

We used to drink Miller
But it made us a mess
So we gave up our Miller
Now we're playing our best

There, that's a proper football(European) chant

 

[PURPLE Book Cat]

though the "Safety School" chant was super lame

 

[IMC Cat]

It was a little too agressive.

I expect Knicks fans to chant "F*** Trae Young" but that's really the only acceptable time.

 

[PurpleWhiteBoy]

though the "Safety School" chant was super lame

Not when the handful of students chanted it against Brown over the Christmas break.

 

[FeralFelidae]

Poor Miller Kopp...

 

[EagerFan]

I didn't like the chant, but then I didn't join in either. As I told the very offended IU alums sitting behind us talking trash all night, Miller left the program - which nobody really cared about. We root for Nance and Young.

But Miller also publicly trashed the program more than once as he left. And a bunch of those students were there when he did it, so they're still pissed at him. And I don't blame them.

And it clearly got to him. I couldn't believe he didn't foul out they way he kept clinging and clutching at Chase and Chase's shirt in the second half, and ramming into players while out of control. He was a mess.

The DUI chant was 100% deserved. The guy put lives at risk and blew a 0.27 BAC. He should be shamed for that.

FU Miller is unseemly and unclever. Ride him hard (I have zero “thanks for your years” warm and fuzzies for him at all), but that’s weak sh*t. “We want Miller” while he’s benched is funny and good. Even some chant acknowledging how we are way better without him would sting.

I love love love what students have brought this season & hope it’s the start of something new in terms of our culture. Get as many of them in the damn building as possible. Not going to ask them to be angelic choir boys and girls, or to act like they’ve been there before, because they literally have not (not storming was good though. It’s just #18 IU). But F-U chants shouldnt happen. Do better. We know you can!

Should have chanted, “thanks for leaving”

or

”addition by subtraction”

Kopp’s a stiff and cry baby. It’s NU that gave him a free education for 3 years and he did very little to earn it. Another one CC couldn’t wait to get out of town. When you pack the house with students chants are gonna happen. Grow a set.

 

[zbag51]

People swear? People don’t like other people? This is terrible.

Meh. I think our chants are the exact opposite of “weak sh*t.” Our rabid student section is making a huge difference, pearl clutchers be damned. We don’t win the last 2 games without them. We’ve somehow turned into the Big Ten version of the Raider’s Black Hole. I’m not going to criticize their *highly effective* methods, even tho they may be a notch distasteful from time to time.

If you don’t like it, maybe start a chant that’s more clever (and louder) than our “bloodthirsty” (TM-West Lot Pirates) students. If not, sit back and enjoy the W. Just win, baby!
