it is up to the arena staff to remove people if they are indeed doing what is being accused.

it obviously in no way could be an ohio state fan's sour grapes, so i am sure siena fans were acting way out of line. the .5% of fans in the building were surely having the swat team en route. the difference between this incident and the marist incident two years ago at mccann is that the one at mccann was a home game with the athletic director sitting courtside and making no effort to stop it. kids will be kids, and drunk kids will be even worse, but for the administration to enable the behavior to happen is another story. i personally watched murray the entire game when the chants took place and he did nothing. actually looked like he was trying to ignore it. if it was one chant, ok, not a big deal, but when the "F*CK SIENA" chant was going around the arena for the 2nd to 10th time, I would expect someone to do something.

if siena fans were doing what is being reported (which must be true, because there is no way this guy could just be pissed that his team lost to the smallest school in the tournament) I hope they were thrown out of the game. If they did that at the TUC, they would have. Many Siena students were removed from games this year at the TUC. I don't think Siena kids are any better than Marist's kids, or vice versa. I think they are mostly very similar. What I think the problem was at the game two years ago was the mccann staff/athletic dept staff's unwillingness to do anything about it.

not bitter at all. i just post facts and what i see. if someone disagrees with that, then that is ok. i was at the game at mccann when the f siena chants took place over and over again and i saw no effort from anyone working security or from the athletic department to stop it (murray was standing in corner by entrance. that is a fact, i saw it with my own eyes. i am not a siena homer where i have skewed glasses. if it happened at siena and d'argenio sat there at watched it, i would say the same thing about siena and him. i was extremely proud of the way the siena students handled themselves that night. they did not retaliate in any way and worried more about cheering their team to a very hardfought victory. if siena kids were there chanting f marist and marist fans were cheering on their team and not retaliating, i would give credit to marist and their students and probably apologized for the behavior of our students. i am not naive enough to think that in other situations, students from siena were the ones instigating problems, but all I can say is when it happens at the TUC, it is dealt with quickly, almost too quickly if you ask me. i've seen at least a dozen times this past year an isolated student get removed from the arena.

Author: burlington [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 08:36:01 04/01/09 Wed and i've seen a number of students escorted out of mccann when they start fuck siena chants. in big games with siena, when mccann is packed (even though it's not a rivalry, as you've claimed), security will give verbal warnings, but they know that they can't escort all the students out.
