They should resurrect Red Riot.

Huskie Horde! Uh....I thought I'd come up with a few bad ones as jokes, but now I'm blanking. Damn.

Old school: Verbal Abuse Section.

Red Riot is what was already decided. All to often a new administration runs away from tradition. Red Riot was decided upon over the Verbal Abuse section. Is a new debate necessary?
I prefer the approach that says "Tradition Doesn't Graduate" and just leave it.

If they insist on a "new name" for these reasons, I still say Red Riot first choice.
1. Red Riot
2. Verbal Abuse
3. Victor's Vandals
4. The Red Sea
5. Convo Chaos
6. Monty's Maniacs

Or,
what about having different sections using all of the above?

I haven't been to a bball game in years due to me coaching high school basketball. I'm curious as to what attendance is like for the mens game. What's the average attendance like?

I like that one. Though I think that opens many "red puddle" jokes.

Red Riot seems so obvious to me...am I missing something?

Attendance last year was in the range of 500 to 1,000+. Some weekend games may have been a little higher, but not much. I expect attendance to increase this year.

Has to be. Plastic fire helmets and everything.

I think they just want a name specific for the basketball fan section but they'll still use Red Riot as the overarching fan group.

I'm legitimately bummed that I can't make the game tomorrow. I hope we are drawing 3k by the end of the year.

Thanks to our super awesome ESPN deal though I get to watch it on my TV! WOOOOO

Oh, I like the "Red Sea". Maybe "C" for the Convo. The Red C?
I also like The Dog Pound - let's do some cross promotion.

That is what the football student section was called when I was a student.

Verbal Abuse Section is the all-time classic. Time to bring it back.

Top worst suggestions ( and I don't even know what some of these mean, total stream of consciousness dump here...):
Basket Case section
BBall Busters
Unsportsmanlike Conduct section
Game Misconduct section
Felons United
Shooters and hooters
Cardinal sinners
Monty's Revenge
That empty section over there..
I don't have a 10th..thankfully.

Ghostdogs........until we win 20!
