Student section

[gopokes1399]

Cops kicked kids out of the student section because they refused to sit down... Ridiculous... They should be kicked out for sitting down.

 

[BeaverPoke]

Another poster said the same thing... This is ridiculous. What a fucking joke.

 

[LanderPoke]

That is ludicrous

 

[BeaverPoke]

So with that in mind, I don't think anyone on this board has a right to complain about the Wyo Student Section.

They literally can not stand up without getting kicked out by police.

Maybe now people will realize why the student section isn't as rowdy and fun as it was back in your day.

Your issue needs to be with the security/police/police-state surrounding the event not the students.

 

[phxpoke]

Are we sure that is all they were doing? I would like to hear the cop's side of the story. If it is true, she should not be allowed to work anymore games!

If they are kicking students out for standing up we need to let the athletic department have it and rip them a good one. This is ridiculous.

Vorel or Gags needs to write an article ripping the athletic department also if that is the case.

This. the problem is the security, between Landmark and the actual police. Kicking someone out for something like that doesn't just take them out of the game but scares all the people around them into sitting down and being polite as to not get themselves booted.

The athletic department is the one that hired them .So it is the athletic departments problem. Sounds like they are running a shit show over there.

I was down on the floor, across from the benches today and toward the beginning the whole section was getting after West, they told us basically to calm down or theyd start tossing people, which did dial everybody back quite a bit. Then a little later on I got a warning from one of the cops for cussing at the refs. Toward the end when they made a rally and fouls didn't seem to be called both ways they pretty much backed off and let everyone go, lokely cause it was everybody and they weren't gonna throw the whole section out

Are we sure that is all they were doing? I would like to hear the cop's side of the story. If it is true, she should not be allowed to work anymore games!

I watched them the entire 5 minutes they stood in the first half. They did nothing wrong. It was two guys and their girlfriends. They were standing in the first row behind the band. A mom sitting one row behind me complained to someone about the four standing. Soon after, the cop came down and she stood up and started cheering for them getting kicked out. The female Laramie city officer asked them to sit down, they refused, and she kicked them out. The four did nothing wrong at all. As the cop was walking back up the stairs, another student came out into the isle and got into her face about the incident. It is dumb that they are so oppressive.

Was the mom that complained a season ticket holder?

Who can we complain to about this so it doesn't just fall on deaf ears?

I doubt it. If she was, why would she be sitting in the student section?

This is cute and quite sad at the same time. There are a lot of student sections that stand the entire game in D1 college basketball. This is all quite telling as to what is going on at UW nowadays. Pretty pathetic.

These Keystone Cops are also running around threatening season ticket holders with ejection because of "profanity" complaints. One such complaint came from freeloaders with corporate comp tickets who probably wouldn't even come to the games if they had to pay for their own seats. These cops do a POOR job of handling the situations. The sad thing is that Facilities Management is supposed to be handling/coordinating the complaints and, apparently, aren't even in the loop in certain instances! That's right, the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing at UW. How surprising! The Keystoners have apparently gone rogue in certain situations.

I'll support Shyatt and the hoops squad, along with Bohl and the football team, but I have zero respect for the administrative side at UW nowadays -- from the academic side on down. From the Sternberg fiasco to the AA reseat fiasco and on and on. How many alumni, fans and students are they going to continue to alienate on that campus?

I forwarded this thread to one of the UW marketing guys within the AD, got this response back from him this morning:

Brad, I was notified about this as well. We will definitely look into it. If they were just standing and cheering, nothing wrong with that. We want a rowdy and electric atmosphere. If you can, share that this will be handled.

You guys can also use this website if you have problems like this pop-up.. I imagine the more descriptive and specific you are, the easier it is for these guys to track down any problems: http://www.gowyo.com/wyoway/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Thank you for letting someone know who can actually do something about this.

Just complaining on here doesn't get anything done. Accusing Burman/administration of being behind this doesn't get anything done.

Taking initiative does.

You don't have an over abundance of intelligence. You related to Burman?

What does complaining on a message board do to promote change?

Really don't see the issue with JVK here, for once. Idk if you read what he said, he actually wasn't blindly sticking up for Burman this time

 

[McPeachy]

First - I very, very, very much doubt said students were removed for just standing. That doesn't happen, even with the largely inept landmark security group. Something else had to have happened, either in conjunction or separate...but something.

Second - I think it is great that gopokes1399 posted this, and others are allowed to express their opinions on this message board. In contrast to monkeyboy's statement - part of what makes a great message board is sharing thoughts, opinions, concerns, bitches / complaints, losses, victories, celebrations, etc. Sometimes it isn't about "getting things done" - in fact most of the time everything posted on this board falls on deaf ears.

JVK doesn't have an over abundance of intelligence? He's 100% right, dude.

You don't like something, do something about it. Pretty cut and dry.
