Here's what you won't hear from the Spike Squad at today's Illinois-Marquette volleyball match: swearing and names of the opposing names.
Here's what you will hear: everything else.
"I think a big part of our job is just to get the crowd energetic," Spike Squad co-chair Andrew Martin said.
Energetic can turn into bothersome for the opponents.
"We have a line that we won't cross," Martin said. "It's easy to be extremely annoying in a way that doesn't break the rules."
Clever is cool. Crude is not.
Though today's match is right in the middle of prime class time at 11 a.
