On the raging debate over the Cornell fans, last year BU had a similar
problem with the students using a particularly offensive and vulgar cheer.
This was getting them a bad reputation, and with the team headed for glory,
Jack Parker wrote a letter to the Free Press (BU paper) asking that the
fans clean up their act, and also at the NC** quarterfinals against Michigan,
a copy of Parker's letter was left on each seat. It was a very well-written,
thoughtful letter and got its point across because the BU fans suddenly
stopped being vulgar but retained their originality and enthusiasm.
If there exists such a problem anywhere else, I would think it would be
worth it for Brian McCutcheon or any other coach to make his feelings known
to the fans; they tend to respect their own coaches enough to listen. I hope.
