i really hope you guys dont really say "you suck naperville"...i know the stadium sucks, and hell, even i would rather go to chicago to see the games, but come on now. hometown trashing = not cool. good article though.
i hear it on BS, in the car, from the car to the bars, in the bars, on the walk from the bars to the stadium, in the game, from the stadium back to the bar, from the bar to the car, in the car, and then some more on BS did i miss anywhere? oh yeah, 99% of napervillians i meet concur
i like it here. i'd prefer to be in madison with my girlfriend. but naperville suits me just fine. as far as suburbs go i wouldn't want to be anywhere else.
I think the article indicates three things: 1. YSA chant hurts the good name of Section 8 here in Naperville. It really needs to be forgotten. 2. Infiltration of other sections by Section 8ers is more than necessary. Other sections are painfully dead during the game, but at the same time they just don't know how to take part in cheering. 3. The podium must be called "the nest" from now on.
How about "The Snorkel"? Mommy & the kids started calling the area underneath "The Hiding Hole". That's their turf. Don't mess with the missus, she's nearly full blooded Gorale (that's Polish Highlander to the uninformed) & native to The Yards. 8<D EDITED: The missus says it's actually "The Hi-De-Ho". Jeez Louise!
ok, so the grown ups use the upper portion known as the "nest" and the little kids will use the area underneath known as the "hi-de-ho" those inbetween will be seen off to the side making snide remarks at everyone else... particularly about how immature little kids are and how little parents get it
LOL I can't believe any intelligent human being would say something like "immature little kids" when actually referring to children. LOL
Yeah, but their cuteness makes up for a lot. Willy, I should have my photos developed soon. Give Y my best!
