Uh Oh: Arkie Student Section Goofs When a Player Fouls Out

[Harry0569]

This is such great hustle by Patric Young:

"Finally, to Florida big man Patric Young for pulling off a stunt I’ve been waiting years to see. Young fouled out in a game at Arkansas, and the student section taunted him by doing that "left, right, left, right, sit down!" chant. Often, when players try to disrupt the chant, they’ll take a bunch of quick steps or fake sit down to throw off the pattern. Young, however, noticed that his foul sent Arkansas to the free throw line, so he waited until the Arkansas player was about to shoot before he sat down, which prompted the student section to suddenly yell, "Sit down!" right as one of their players was taking a crucial free throw. The Razorbacks player missed, the camera cut to Young cackling on the bench, and I gave him a standing ovation in my living room. Florida-Arkansas was one of my three favorite games of the season so far, but this was undoubtedly its most entertaining moment."

Mark Titus's weekly Power Rankings are awesome.

I thought you were talking about the SMU student section after I looked at the title. Maybe you should edit the tile to say Arkansas student section.

This has been attempted at Cameron (who don't do left/right, but a loud "ahhhhhhh -- see ya"), and generally, they realize the ploy and are quiet when their own shooter is at the line, even if it means missing the punch line.

I saw it when it happened but was not paying close enough attention. I saw the player laughing on the bench. I thought he had just messed up their "sit down". That is funny.
