Doobie, my kid had a blast. We sat in the front row. Sucks changing a diaper at a game.
The one thing I can say about trash takling is when the game is out of reach it should calm down. But if the other teams starts jabbering because they finally made their first play at the end of the third quarter, then I say it is ok to unleash the fury.

Dub I am not condoning the action. All I am saying is not everyone is gong to take kindly to the heckling. You guys must be the only nice hecklers out there. I take my son to every game and cheer just as hard as anyone else. If the other team makes a nice play I tell my son that was a nice play. I don't find it necessary to heckle teams that are getting a complete beat down. Personally I know if I were on the field taken the beating the last thing I want to hear is a fan heckling. I don't have to worry about opposing reactions because I don't give them reason to react yet I still support the Bandits as much as anyone on the forum. I would rather see a crotch grab than hear multiple F bombs being thrown out. I am not saying you throw them out but I hear plenty of them throughout the night at games. I guess it boils down to is it classy to heckle? Basically you are making fun of someone and expect them not to react.

Heckling is part of the indoor game. I think anytime you put the fans that close to the action it is going to happen. I sit 2nd row @ the Storm games and like to get after the opposing players. Always keep it clean. If the game is out of hand then there is no reason to put salt on the wound. The scoreboard is heckling enough. However, if a team is getting cocky after they are down like 4 scores then I say let them have it. There is a player for the Neb Danger I think, Surrency is his name. When they played in SF earlier the game was over by halftime and this guys is dancing and stuff after he scores a TD so the next time he lined up on our side of the field we let him have it. A lot times the guys we smack talk to will come over after the game and shake our hands, I think most guys understand it is part of the game. I dont think though, from one of your previous posts Dub71, tat it would be appropriate to go after someone's ethnicity. Like asking for tacos from a dude named Calros or whatever, I wouldn't call a black guy the n-word. But if some dude has a wierd last name give him a jab. Tri-City WR Steven Whitehead, we tell him he's gonna get popped. Pigg Brown I think plays for the Danger too gets a lot of greif from us.

I think it was Willie Austin, originally from the OV Greyhounds but played for Ft. Wayne possibly, I used to call him chicken legs, because of his skinny little chicken legs. He remembered me the second time he came to Sioux City, he laughed with it.

Just for the record, we asked him for tacos because his name was Carlos Kelly, like the restaurant Carlos O'Kelly. It had nothing to do with his ethnicity which I don't even know what he was.

I've only heckled once, and that was at Troy Travis (former Beef QB) when he played for the Nebraska Bears in one game back in 2005 against the Iowa Blackhawks in the APFL. I was in the front row and couldn't help myself. All I did was yell out Travis repeatedly, since everyone will hear their name over any noise and eventually it will get distracting to them. He threw a td right in front of me late in the game and flexed his arms and I laughed and said good pass. I was only heckling him because he was playing for that scrub team to begin with (his team lost btw). Travis went on to play for Sioux City that year too I think (or that could've been the next year, not sure, all the years start to blend together).

I have heckled thousands of times, but I agree with BC's statement that a player will hear his name over and over. That is why at Bandits games I TRY to get our fans to yell BONwell BONwell instead of the slower and sleepier bonWELLLLLLL bonWELLLLLLL.
They just don't get it though. It's like trying to explain to a beef fan that you should be quiet when your offense is on the field.

Actually that should be typed the opposite. We chant bonweeeellllllll bonweeeeeelllllll. Like you would chant Darrrryyllll Darrryylll at Daryl Strawberry.
When we should be chanting BonWELL BonWELL. Really sharp like.
