Naturally, when opposing teams run onto the field in WBS, Gamecock fans boo them. There is a debate on Gamecock Central's message board right now about whether you boo or applaud a service academy team when they take the field. What say you, SECR? Do you give them special treatment, or still "boo" them and thank them later after the game if you cross paths?

You can't boo - won't be right. Show respect and kick their butt.

I find it hard to boo teams period, but I know that I could never boo a service academy.

You don't boo service academies, that's just in bad taste.

In my opinion, of course.

boo them.
Football is the most important thing. If you don't boo them they won't respect you.

Half the fans should boo while the other half give a standing ovation.

No, don't boo the Naval Academy Football team. They should be given a Standing O, IMHO. They deserve the utmost respect for the dedication to serving this country. One day in the future they may be the ones who save our country. If y'all boo them then I hope y'all lose the game and half your team gets hurt(not seriously)

The Armed Forces (including the Academies) should always be shown respect and appreciation.

Just my singular opinion.

I'm also not that guy that says I'll cheer for the Taliban if they played (insert Rival here)

go ahead and boo them. it's not like all of the players who graduate won't be officers aka not infantry putting themselves in the actual line of fire. plus it's the navy it's not like you're playing army or the marines. yes i would boo air force too.

Yall do realize at the moment they haven't done anything for the USA? Yes, after they get done playing they will serve just like a million other people in the the military. They will all be officers too, and hopefully some good leaders. I've done route clearance in Afghanistan and it seems people think between games these players go overseas and do some shite. They go back to school and have their entire day structured. Yeah, it sucks arse I'm sure but it's a lot different than the real thing.

So, moral of the story, boo their asses

You shouldn't boo the Naval academy, for sure.

Give them a standing ovation to them as they come on the field and as they exit the field. Cheer passionately against them while the game clock is live.

I don't understand why this would even be a debate.
