Being peppered with crowd cries to shoot the ball virtually every time he touches it is getting a little old for Jarrod Polson

honestly I think Jarrod should be thankful that he's so loved by the UK Faithful that they want to see him score. in fact, I don't think they want him to 'shoooot', I think they just want him to 'scoooore'.
I lean to-wards Jarrod's side in this one. It's really obnoxious to keep chanting that when he's in the game. If you think about it then you'd realize it's actually insulting. I don't think any Cat fan would intentionally insult our players but when they do this every second he touches the ball your discounting the hard work he puts in to even just be on the team. He's not a mascot, he's not the water boy, he's a PLAYER on our team and deserves to be treated with respect, not as if he was some sideshow attraction.

It's an embarrassment. I think it does show a lack of respect for Jerrod. The crowd should simply want him to run the point and run it well.
It's gotten out of hand. Cal should say something.
True, the Rupp Crowd needs to back-off Polson.
