I didn't care for the chant. However, it is definitely satisfying that Kopp is 0-3 against the 'Cats!
Yup. Still waiting for the purple seaters to start a chant….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!
We root for Nance and Young.
He transferred in conference. It’s aIt’s a game, man. Competition is great, but there is a line.
thank you … I almost posted the exact thing. You want to avoid this … don’t transfer in conference bc as it’s becoming more and more clear with each game and each behind the scenes video - the frustrating decline of NU hoops with increased talent on the floor was more about Nance, Young and Kopp and less about CollinsLike it, don’t like it, Kopp passed up a wide open 3 late in the game on a play that looked designed for him. Students went nuts. Not hard to draw the connection.
I personally would not engage in such a chant. (“We want Miller, on the other hand, was hilarious and delicious.”) But the victim attitude from so much of the Indiana press and fan base is something. Don’t want to hear the shit? Don’t leave your school for a conference rival and talk the shit on your way out the door. Maybe Kopp ought to spend less time on his Tiktok and more on his shooting and preparedness for the game, since he clearly had more of an impact on NU hoops than he realized. Just not in the way he thought.
Wish him well in life, but this is all fair game on the court. Where’s the line? Going after McCaffery’s kid for mental wellness on Sunday would not be okay, and I’m confident it won’t be an issue.
If your kid transferred to a rival school in his league and talked a bunch of crap about his former team on the way out, I wouldn’t expect a warm and fluffy welcome back, my guy.There were kids at the game and they might think that's OK.
Now your child playing high school sports has that chant pointed at them.
Is that ok?
Love the enthusiasm but be better than that.
Against THAT guy?. They could have been as quiet as a church and he'd have missed shots. It's what he does.Agree. BUT you can’t deny its effectiveness….
I don't think the point is that we're not aware of this. The point is that some things are just not called for. The standards of public behavior have seriously declined in this country, and the results are evident in our national dialogue and almost anywhere else you care to look.People swear? People don’t like other people? This is terrible.
Won’t someone think of the children!!!!There were kids at the game and they might think that's OK.

100% agree. I am all for chanting and heckling but I thought swearing at him was uncalled for. Could have just done the “Miller, Miller” sing song thing. I’ve loved our student section this year but I thought the FU Miller was not cool, regardless of how he left the program he’s still a 21 year old (or close?) kid that played for Northwestern.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
Yeah the “we want Miller” while he was on the bench was a good one. You shouldn’t chant F U Miller to him while he’s on the floor though. Just not necessary or cool IMO.Should have chanted, “thanks for leaving”
or
”addition by subtraction”
Y’all have your panties in a bunch. Great student sections have done far worse.Yeah the “we want Miller” while he was on the bench was a good one. You shouldn’t chant F U Miller to him while he’s on the floor though. Just not necessary or cool IMO.
Both were projects out of high school. They got NU degrees and developed their games significantly. They left. We are better. Their new teams are worse. Make your own call. I'm not a fan of either.Speak for yourself.
Yep. I do not know Indiana law and don't feel like looking it up, but probably a DUI is only a felony for a 2nd offense. Yet, it seems it should be above some alcohol level. 0.27 is just ridiculous and it has to exponentially be more threatening to other's safety than 0.09.As far as the DUI chant I’m perfectly fine with that. Kid made a dumb choice that put others lives at risk.
I always speak for myself, but based on that thread I'm also not alone.Speak for yourself.
That's giving Kopp a lot of credit for a real boneheaded play.Regardless of whether you like him, or not, Coach Collins clearly didn’t like the chant. And if we lose that game last night, it was because of Miller stealing the inbound for that final Indiana basket
Kudos to him, keeping his head in the game.
Yes. Our boneheaded play but he made the right call and didn’t foul. He hasn’t played well since he changed jerseys but that one moment he gets credit.That's giving Kopp a lot of credit for a real boneheaded play.
This is 100% incorrect.Another one CC couldn’t wait to get out of town.
Beer here … Beer here …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.
What universe are we living in if it's considered pearl clutching to not think it's cool for hundreds of people to basically just yell "f*** you" in unison at a person in an entertainment venue? Am I some sort of weirdo here? I'm really supportive of good student section taunting!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.

Since when is Northwestern a University that embraces humor, except for the School of Speech.At least make it somewhat witty...
At least YOU didn't graduate in the Class of ZERO.Are my panties in a bunch because I don’t want my grandchildren to hear that stuff? My 4-year-old grandson was sitting right next to the student section at the Purdue game. Glad it wasn’t the Indiana game.
Zero class. ZERO!
Phew, thank goodness they weren’t showing up at that time!The ironic thing is if you to ask Kopp he would probably say if the current student support were like that when he was at NU he wouldn't have left in the first place.
I always speak for myself, but based on that thread I'm also not alone.
You are, of course, welcome to disagree all you want.

This isn't about whether or not they should be loud. It's awesome that they're loud and that they want to show up. I was there for "Hoosier Daddy" and the hunting vests the following year. I was 5 feet away from Gene Keady when he was screaming at us for getting in their heads. But I don't recall anyone ever suggesting "why don't we just cut to the chase and yell f*** (insert name here) a bunch" because we would've thought that was insane. Although I guess that would've been fun to yell at Joe Crispin for 2 hours 😀
"I always speak for myself, but based on that thread I'm also not alone."Well, you said “we root for Nance and Young”. Should have said “I” root for Nance and Young if you “always” speak for yourself. I don’t root for Nance or Young.
Nance and Young spent four years at NU giving it their all on and off the court. Actively pulling for them now and in the future (except if they run into the ‘Cats in March).I always speak for myself, but based on that thread I'm also not alone.
You are, of course, welcome to disagree all you want.
