That's exactly what it sounded like in the upper deck where my team was.

It's still a raw emotion kind of thing, and I really don't think the reference was made in good taste.

Generally against booing for most occasions, but I feel like this time it was okay. It was short and not disruptive in any way. It didn't go on for an unecessarily long period of time, and it was fairly mild. I think it's a bit too "worshipping" of FIRST to say that you aren't allowed to boo a decision they make - it doesn't mean you despise everything the organization does, it means you just disagreed with one (major) choice. If there was a riot or something that'd be a different story, but I think some public disapproval isn't too out of line here.

I personally didn't hear the booing, but I do know the reaction of teams around me wasn't excitement or laughter.

I feel it was more of a "too soon" kind of a joke.

Back to the jokes. Mostly I listen to top 10s to judge how many hits vs. misses. Even professionals (Letterman writers) are doing well to hit 8 out of 10. What can you expect from amateurs trying to be funny. In this case, they would have been safer talking about the possibility of a Water Game.

Water game is always a safe joke. I think the #1 fell more into the too soon category
