The Underground Charge

There’s something I love about the Colby-Sawyer SuperFan. No, its not that Mark Nailor is their leader (although his presence is a necessity at CSC Sporting events), and its not that we pre-game better than anyone else (although again, another necessity AND a proven fact).

The Superfans-A time honored tradition of heckling since the beginning of time.

No, I love the Colby-Sawyer Superfans because when we are beating a team by 20 with five minutes left to go in the game and our team is at the foul line, there is a hush over the crowd. The Superfans wait for the strike, they know that they must say something so strong as to empower our players and make the enemy (in this case Gordon College) feel horrible and dishonored.

“JESUS LOVES US -clap, clap, clap, clap- JESUS LOVES US -clap,clap,clap,clap!”

Why does this make the writers here at The Underground Charge happy? It’s probably because Gordon College, which is a Christian College located in Wenham, MA, brought their whole cheering section to our campus and tried to make fools of us at the art of heckling.

Heckling, of course, was created in The Commonwealth Coast Conference by the Colby-Sawyer SuperFans.

The Colby-Sawyer fans are known, if not feared, for our tenacity and outright disregard for the feelings of others and their players. Not even our Athletic Director can tell us what to do when it comes to our heckling. She tried last year, people never went to the games, games sucked, so they had to let the Superfans back in.

There is a reason that Colby-Sawyer fans are hated among the other schools in the TCCC: We even go after your religious leanings. Nothing is sacred, not your dog, your parents, your sisters, brothers, girlfriends, even your grandparents and the pope might be slandered for all to see– for our enjoyment.

We will even go to your school and make fun of you, 80% of the time it works too. You don’t know what to expect:  A docile crowd or a New London hate-machine that will heckle and yell and make your ears bleed, you can’t be too sure with the SuperFans.

And the best part. We dont give a fuck.

Colby-Sawyer, our Men’s  Basketball team will be going to the University of New England to play the Nor’easters on Saturday, Feb. 28 at 7 p.m. Walk, drive, run or dog-sled to this game. CSC is going all the way and we need the powers of the Superfans to get them there!

Also: You can heckle them for having a mascot that’s a cloud. They are an angry storm. Seriously, that’s some fat-free diet weaksauce there.
