Did he really end up with only 7 points? Good job Spectrum! You did what you were supposed to do.

I just can’t believe some of the replies to these tweets about how awful Utah State and it’s fans are. Do these people not watch or go to college basketball games? There are other schools that are 100 times worse! They’re acting like these are ten year olds that we're razzing instead of adults who are playing D1 college basketball. If you can’t handle people making fun of you and provoking you, don’t play a sport where people pay money to come and watch you compete! The point of a student section is to get in the opponent’s head! So many comments acting like their fans never say anything rude or offensive at all to the players on the other team, when I’ve heard way worse at other venues. If you can’t handle taunting, then college basketball is not for you. The whole idea of not feeling safe going to a Utah State game is absolutely ridiculous. It’s a competition, don’t get so offended when people actually get competitive. My goodness.
Good Lord! Wait until they find out about Cameron Indoor Stadium! Duke is finished!

FWIW the jazz get slandered for having great crowds too. I don't like it when things are too personal, I think its just as easy to get into someones head by pointing out that their jersey in untucked and having the ref make them tuck it in. I really don't think it take s that much to fluster some guys. I'd prefer not to get too personal, although nowadays just making fun of someones name or hair can be seen as racist- looking at you Elfrid Payton.

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Was she claiming people dropped n bombs and that people were touching players? Or were there other lies?
Only tweet I saw was about the evil bull sheet and the n bomb "chant" that didn't happen.
Essentially saying crowd said racist things, how disgusting the bullsheet was and long posts from people saying how out of line our crowd is and how racist Utah is.

Also Seth Greenberg retweeted a bunch of her tweets along with tweet from Eric Musselman and went on rant of his own









Seth Greenberg is basically trying to slander Utah State, as if he really gives two craps about the GREAT KID.
It seems from those tweets that Seth is drawing on his own experience in the Spectrum from years ago and not any actual knowledge of anything that was said to Caroline on Saturday. He is a terrible writer though, so I could be off. If that’s the case, and even giving him the benefit of the doubt, stuff he experienced in the early 90s coaching at LBSU is not at all relevant to what happened on Saturday. Total hit job by Greenberg.
Here's the deal with Seth Greenberg. He's a practiced liar and misinformation specialist. For decades he coached many GREAT KIDS. A GREAT KID is a player who has issues. He's either an occasional petty thief or academic cheat or has a volatile temper or extraordinarily promiscuous/borderline rapist, etc. The reason he's such a GREAT KID is because when, sooner or later, the GREAT KID does something stupid, violent, or criminal, there is a ready made lie to start the cover up.

It's an obvious lie, but if you wrap that lie in a blanket of racial accusations, nobody wants to unwrap it. Hence, this is how the media ends up focusing on what Utah State must have done wrong to cause this (unknown and unseen), rather than focusing on what the GREAT KID actually did (known and seen). Neat trick, huh?

Agree. Seth was back on ESPNU this morning being interviewed as the "expert" on this incident which is laughable. His only sources seem to be Eric Mussleman and his wife. He was toned down a bit but still defending JC as a "GREAT KID" and implying the incident was caused by an inappropriate comment made by someone from Utah State. (He stopped just sort of using the words racial slur but it was certainly implied) The damage has been done and he and Mrs. Musselman owe a public apology, but of course that won't happen.

If we end up seeing Nevada again in the MWCT, every time Caroline touches the ball, Aggie fans should chant GREAT KID.
