I don't know about that. As this guy once again proved, douchebaggery is mostly contained within these boundaries:

LOL. You know this guy is an Ohio State alum, right?

Heckling in hockey... Completely amusing. Heckling in basketball or baseball? Not too much. It IS fun to heckle outfielders though!

I was at this one hockey game where all this heckler could say was "NICE SHOT DOUCHE BAG!" "FORE CHECK DOUCHE BAGS" among other things... I was rolling the entire game.

The first CBJ game I went to was a game against the Colorado Divealanche. I was 6 rows behind the Colorado bench and while Colorado was destroying the CBJ (I think Joe Sakic had a hat trick in this game), I was sitting there in my Red Wings jersey so I didn't really care at the time :biggrin:

well every time there was a TV timeout I would start yelling at Patrick WAHHH - eventually he looked up and started swearing at me in French :rofl: I thought it was great so I asked him how it felt to get his ass kicked by Mike Vernon as loudly as I could :biggrin:

One reason I miss my time at IWU, soccer games. It was so much fun standing on the sidelines and heckling the opposing players on the fan's side of the field. We got one player so ticked that he flipped us off and cussed us out a few times as he went by. Not like we were yelling anything offensive, we just mainly made fun of odd shoe/sock combos, or if they had a particularly odd name we'd come up with some jabs. Guess we really got into his head.

But heckling fans, yeah, not cool.

How big heads became a part of college basketball culture

130226113411-big-heads-sdsu-single-image-cut.jpg

The big heads craze started at San Diego State, where Aztec fans used blowups of celebrities to distract opposing free throw shooters.

Inspiration struck Conor Mongan in November 2002, while he was sitting on the purple, velour sofa in his apartment in the Mission Valley neighborhood of San Diego, Calif. He was watching a television news report about a court appearance by Michael Jackson when a close-up image of the pop star appeared on the screen. Mongan shuddered at Jackson's unsightliness, at his unnaturally pointy and scabby nose, his too-white skin and bug-eyed expression. Then he thought:
That's it! It's perfect!
His reaction requires some context. At the time, the 25-year-old Mongan was one of the ringleaders of the student section at San Diego State men's basketball games, a group later self-dubbed The Show. Though he stopped attending classes at San Diego State in 1999, Mongan remained one of The Show's figureheads, using his background in graphic design to create the T-shirts that fans wore during games. That November, Mongan had been pondering ways the group could better distract opposing free throw shooters. When Jackson's face popped up on Mongan's television, it triggered an aha moment: If he had been so stricken by Jackson's mug, Mongan thought, imagine how a free throw shooter would react.
Working out of a local Kinko's over the next few days, Mongan divided the image of Jackson into quarters using Photoshop and then printed each quarter on an 11x17 piece of paper. He then pieced the photo back together, adhered it to a 20x30 poster board, and cut the outline with scissors.
The Jackson big head made its first appearance at the Aztecs' Dec. 12 game at Long Beach State. At the largely empty Pyramid in Long Beach, Mongan positioned himself two rows behind one basket and waited. With 11:03 left in the first half, Long Beach State guard Darnell Thompson stepped to the line to attempt the game's first free throw. Just as Thompson set to shoot, Mongan held up the giant Jackson head and moved it from side to side. Thompson stopped, clearly startled, Mongan recalls, and then Thompson looked to the sideline, as if asking his coaches: Do I really have to shoot with that in my sightline?
