Recently, many comments have been written regarding a perceived lack of originality among the student section at Cameron. In a Feb. 16 letter to the editor, grad student Dan Lee suggests chants borrowed from his alma mater for Cameron Crazies to shout at the opposing team. These would include shouting, "Shoot him like a horse!" for injured players and "You f#$%ed up!" when mistakes are made.
Lee believes that this type of attitude makes Madison the best college sports town in America, but I have to disagree. One thing I love about Duke games is the tremendous support fans have for the Devils while still maintaining a shred of respect for the opposing team. This respect--for our teams, for our coaches, and for the tradition of the arena--is what makes games in Cameron so special. Don't let a cheesy Wisconsin alum badger Duke fans into losing what sets us apart--our integrity.
