One more issue with the chants. Irony at its best: The Wisconsin fans were chanting, for no apparent reason, "NASCAR Sucks!” What’s ironic about that you might ask? Heath Shuler was on ESPN announcing the starting players for Tennessee. Matt Kenseth, a standout in NASCAR, announced the starters for Wisconsin.
Ha ha. That's funny. I saw those announcements and thought they both were cool, especially when Shuler said, I am Heath Shuler and I approved this message. I also liked the way Kenseth used the racing metaphors in describing the WI players. Why in the world would anyone from any section of the country chant NASCAR sucks? Even to the casual, relatively uninformed NASCAR follower like me, NASCAR is a really interesting and exciting sport.
I think these kids had researched anything that might piss off a Tennessee fan and/or Southern fan in general. They were even doing the Gator chomp when the score was tied at ZERO! :wink: When we scored, they started chanting "You still suck!" :shock:
I always thought Wisconsin fans were a hoot..."You still suck!"...I love it. Y'all know why southerners like to do it doggie style???
So they both can watch NASCAR on the tube. Confession: I love NASCAR...though I'm not real knowledgable...my son Chris is a loyal follower...goes to a lot of races. Ryan Newman is a Purdue Engineering graduate.
