How exactly do you use the word "suck" accurately?

Sorry about the double post but NarthDakotaHockey (clever moniker) kinda got under my skin.
This merciless riding I was doing of the Mercyhurst goalie??? It was the "Funnel Chant." North Dakota fans probably do the same chant. It ends with "Hey [goalie's name], you're not a black hole....YOU JUST SUCK, YOU JUST SUCK, YOU JUST SUCK."
The chant is performed, mostly by the student section, after every third goal. I did the chant after the 9th goal. And I did it with about 500 other people, most of whom were in a section accross the arena.
Listen, try not to go into another teams arena and get all huffed up about the opposing fan's chants.
And if I yell Bochenski sucks or Parise sucks, I don't actually believe they suck. I am just trying to get under their skin a bit. I know it is hard for you to grasp that kind of taunting, but it isn't meant to be taken literally.
Hey, kainda like when I say "Sioux Suck." Wow, weird how that works isn't it? Maybe the Gophers fans aren't the stupid ones.

6. Example? Here is just one of many. My kids and I sat near the ice in Section 5. One Gopher fan, who I shall call "Biggie Fry" because he was popping out of one of those UGLY Gopher jerseys, kept it up with the four letters, nothing particularly egregious, but enough to annoy me enough to give him the "Watch the Language" chant. That put his snout back in his bag of mini-donuts. Anyway, what is the purpose, or need, to still be riding a Mercyhurst goalie mercilessly, with incivil and sometimes profane chants, when your team is riding an 8-0 lead? It's not like it was an epic WCHA struggle where one might be justified in riding a goalie a shade, albeit with clever and clean retorts.
7. This same clown was shot down early by a nearby Sioux fan who told him to "Buy a bigger jersey!" Funny. He shut up until several of his other dehorn buddies showed up, at which point he became emboldened enough to get on Parise for going to the "wrong" school.
8. My point? Some Gopher fans make a bad name for all Gopher fans. These types ought to have their legs taped to a chair and be made to eat spaghetti until their jerseys burst. I am sure that many Gopher fans who know and understand the game, both on the ice and in the stands, would agree.
OK. You must be the old guy who sat a few rows behind me. I think it's pretty funny how you take cheap shots at a guy's weight when talking about OTHER teams fans being jerks.
Listen, I did say !@$! and suck throughout most of the game. !@$! is actaully part of some of the gopher cheers. The vast majority of that profane language was the word suck. Yes I did say it a lot. But I believe I used it accurately.
You guys can think what you want about Gopher fans being jerks because we say that your team sucks. I think you are getting back some of what we had to put up with a few years ago. I believe I had to listen to the clever "At least we have 7 banners" about 20 times last weekend. And the "Let's Go Sioux" being yelled in the middle of the Minnesota vs. Ferris game.
Just so the original poster doesn't get off thinking he is some hero for shutting me down, no I did not keep quiet after he told me to watch my language, or put my snout in my bag of minidonuts (I prefer nachos). I believe I told you to shut up and go back to North Dakota. And I continued to yell.
When you told me to watch my language, I was yelling the word $uck. Sorry to hear that's such foul language in your parts. Maybe if I were an old prick I would think suck is a bad word too. On second thought, it probably has less to do with your being a prick, and more to do with being a whiny, poor loser.
Why is it that I was fine leaving it at good old fashion rival talk (i.e. "Sioux Suck!") but you took it to a personal level with the fat comments and you still think that I am the jerk?
Look in the mirror jerk, because you are exactly the fans that you talk about hating!
And yes, I was cheering for the Sioux on Friday- right up until the fat jokes started flying. It would have been an UNBELIEVABLE atmosphere to have the Gophers and Sioux play for the right to get to the Frozen Four. Too bad a couple jerk Sioux fans had to ruin that fun.
ON ANOTHER TOPIC, I did actually talk to one decent Sioux fan in Minneapolis this week. He talked about how the Sioux just didn't seem to have it this year and how he thought the Gophers looked good enough to win the Championship again this year. That has to be a difficult thing to admit.

I think both teams will figure out who their scorers will be come WCHA play. With the exception of UNH, the Gophs have had an easy schedule.
Parise MAY have some inflated numbers considering the opponents he has faced thus far.
We can check back in a few weeks and see what the points look like.

Is it possible it something has to do with the TV contract? Maybe FSN would prefer to stay home.
As far as why the Gophers haven't scheduled NC games with North Dakota.... They had to fill their schedule with BU/ BC etc because your team was so busy fighting the loss of the Sue nickname. The Gophers aren't allowed to play non conference teams with hostile and abusive names. Now that the team is the Whioux and not the Sioux, you may get your wish.
