Winter is finally among us and that means Christmas, snow and the most highly anticipated season of the year here at Marquette: BASKETBALL. Yes it is finally time to bring out your foam fingers, face stickers, giant heads, and "Ring Out Ahoya" decked in navy blue and gold. Before you head out to the Bradley Center, here's a list of people you should prepare yourself to encounter while cheering the Golden Eagles to victory.

1. The ones who will literally do anything to get on the Jumbotron

You know exactly who these people are. The ones decked out in extravagant outfits and costumes while busting out wild moves just to reach their three seconds of fame. As annoying as they are, they keep the game interesting and you can't help but watch them.

2. The ones who never pay attention but keeps asking you for updates

Ah yes, the notorious question-askers. These guys consistently keep asking "what's the score?" or "what's a foul?" or even "who are we playing again?" Let's be real, these guys are just here for the pictures.

3. The ones who act like they know everything about basketball when they really have no clue what is going on

These guys may seem like the ultimate fan but the truth is, they have not the slightest clue what the game of basketball really is. "OMG, did we just shoot a touchdown? So that's a home run,
right?" Nope, not quite.

4. The alumnus

Why not relive your glory days on your stomping grounds? College is the best four years of your life, they say, and these guys just can't seem to let it go.

5. The ones who pre-gamed a little too hard

Their stench of cheap beer has helped them fall over the seats a few times. They are constantly swearing at the other team, the team they are rooting for, the coach and even other fans. In the back of your mind, you can't help but pray that they don't puke on you during halftime but hey, wouldn't that make an interesting game?

6. The dirty mouths

These guys have some pretty colorful language. Their vocabulary includes an array of swear words. As entertaining as their dialogue is, it can get pretty out of hand from time to time.

7. The celeb who makes it back to his alma mater

The one famous almunus that everyone hopes and prays will come back to visit. They may have only been a student for a few years but why not brag about them to your rivals.

8. The one who hates basketball but came because his friends dragged him too

So they may not get the game or why there are free throws but they know that if they show up, their friends will owe them later.

9. The ones who are a little too attached to the game

It's fine! There is always next year!

10. The wannabe coaches

These guys think their calls from the stands mean something. Despite his lack of qualifications and expertise, he knows exactly how the game should be played.

11. The ones who pay more attention to the cheerleaders than the game

This person is either an ex-cheerleader from high school watching in jealousy, a guy trying to pull with a cheerleader, or a creepy old guy who is trying to get pics for his Facebook.
