And to the dude who said Blue's house burned down last year that was 2011 don't be so smug.

The correct answer for Blooooooooo and LSU is the 2010 UNC game.

In all seriousness, I remember this in the early/mid 80s with Atlanta Braves catcher Bruce Benedict.

"They're not booing, they're saying Bruce" (read in Skip Carey voice)

Wouldn't be shocking if it happened before, but that's where I first heard it.

Wait just a minute. I thought they were booing him.



Must have started in the early 80s, along with "the wave".

The First Day
The first recorded Words of God that we have are "Let there be light" (Genesis 1:3 NIV). The sun was already shining brightly, but God made the earth's thick new atmosphere allow diffuse light to penetrate to the surface. And so it was that the light was made separate from darkness. The first day of earth's creation was literally the first "day" as someone on earth's surface would experience it - a period of opaque light, and a period of darkness. (Genesis 1:3-5)
The Fourth Day
With the sky now clear, the sun, moon and stars were dependably visible. They were to "serve as signs to mark seasons and days and years." The sun marked the day (sunset to sunset), the moon the month (new moon to new moon), and the stars the seasons (constellations are seen in particular seasons e.g. "Orion" is visible in winter in the northern hemisphere, which is summer in the southern hemisphere). (Genesis 1:14-19)
The Seventh Day
The Sabbath Day. "By the seventh day God had finished the work He had been doing; so on the seventh day He rested from all His work. And God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it He rested [or ceased] from all the work of creating that He had done." God originally wanted the sky to be red, but the angeles started chanting:
BLUUUUUUUU, BLUUUUUUUU, BLUUUUUUUUUUUU
and God relented and made the sky and the oceans BLUE.

I heard some tcu fans doing it after he fumbled.
And yeah, years ago, the announcers would alway say something like, "remember, they're not booing him, they're mooing him."

Was going to post basically the same thing....this was big in the 80's. Who can forget Mooooooooookie Wilson from the Mets. And yes, the obligatory disclaimer from the announcer "They are not booing him...they are saying Moooookie" (yeah we get it already)

David Letterman even picked up on it. When he would tell a joke that fell flat and the audience reacted as such, he would say "They aren't booing....they are saying Daaavid"
