Bryant Fans Showing Up A Day Early To Heckle Wagner Players Is What Mid-Major Conference Tournaments Are All About

Hell yes. This is what I want to see. Sure, it may be a little cringeworthy and they need to work on their chirps but let me tell you something, a simple boo and finger works just perfectly. In fact the double bird always plays. Look at this dude: 

Strong double birds. It's almost a stress reliever to go double birds. Don't scream, don't have some pent up anger, don't throw things (cans). Just go double birds. It gets the point across and it lets the other person know you mean business. Or go this guy who I'm pretty sure rides or dies with Bryant basketball more than anyone else in the world. 

Wagner should be lucky that black hat/grey sweatshirt guy couldn't get over the rope. He had the lunge. He had the screaming boo, which is arguably the number 1 boo out there. This man is ready to see 16 seed Bryant on Selection Sunday. If not his life might be ruined. 

Also I'd be failing at my job if I didn't give this fella a VIVA

Barstool sweatshirt, orange hat. If Rico wasn't a Bryant ryder I'd bet that was Big T. But, we know he's cheering for Wagner now. 

The fact is this is what makes March special. This is the NCAA Tournament title game for Wagner/Bryant. They just want to see their name on the bracket. They don't care if they have to go to Dayton for a First Four game or not. Don't get me wrong, I'm not anti-neutral floor games or anything for conference tournaments but the fact this is at home makes it a bit special. I got to see Vermont win an America East title on their home floor and it was legit one of the best atmospheres I've been in. 

Smithfield, Rhode Island at 7pm tomorrow. Must watch. 

PS: Wagner walking in videotaping it all and players laughing is what I sneaky love the most.
