Foul-mouthed West Virginia Mountaineers student section under fire - ESPN

WVU is finally addressing student behavior at basketball games. I'm sorry to hear that it has come to this as the WVU students are great fans with lots of passion for their school and sports teams.
Furthermore it does seem to me that sometimes WVU is held to a different standard than other schools. While the behavior in Morgantown is rowdy and sometimes uninviting it does seem a bit hypocritical for opponents to be "offended" or "put off" by comments of Mountaineer fans and then make references to our fans as "hillbillies" and "rednecks" and "inbreds". Maybe if we could get a little less of THAT (particularly from a fan base located in KENTUCKY of all places) we'd be less likely to chant "Karen Sypher" at a head coach.
