Standing behind the mantra " No one likes us . We do n't care , " The Show has a history of approaching , if not crossing the line on occasion . The first controversial act by The Show was during a 2010 game against former Mountain West Conference rival BYU , a school that is owned and operated by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints ( LDS Church , or Mormons ) . For this home game , several dozen Show members dressed up in Mormon missionary apparel , wearing white button-down shirts , black ties , and bike helmets . This move was criticized by '' Sports Illustrated '' writer Seth Davis . He is described the stunt as a " Totally classless move by several dozen San Diego State students who dressed up as Mormon missionaries to mock BYU when the Cougars came to town on Saturday night . Riding the opposition is fine , but there are a few things that are off-limits , and religion is of them . " Near the end of the game , with SDSU losing , fans started chanting " You 're still Mormon . " During this game , one sign came under fire for being over the line . It said , " Which wife gave you mono ? " This was referencing both Jimmer Fredette 's recent bout with mononucleosis and polygamy in early LDS history . The BYU player saw the sign and laughed it off . The next season , both teams ranked in the top 10 in the nation during their meeting at Viejas . Weeks before the game , an SDSU student tried to get in Jimmer 's head by creating a Facebook event that invited students to “ Poke Jimmer Fredette ’s girlfriend because Jimmer ca n’t poke her for himself . ” In the description , students were told the mission was to " disrupt , upset , distract and irritate ( the ) opponent . ” More than 7,000 people were invited to the event , which had a picture of Jimmer 's girlfriend ( now wife ) Whitney Wonnacott and her Facebook profile . Other students started selling " I poked Jimmer 's girlfriend " shirts . These shirts were banned for the game , yet a few students managed to sneak in with them . For the game , hundreds of Show members dressed up in Mormon gear , despite a letter emailed to students from coach Fisher , where he said , " We know that the energy and enthusiasm brought by The Show is what makes Viejas Arena one of the toughest home courts in the country . It is important to remember that when you are in the student section , you represent something greater than yourself . You represent San Diego State ... We can not cross the line into topics that are out of bounds and distasteful , particularly making fun of one ’s religion . " During this game , there were many signs and posters referencing Mormonism , including " Hi mom ( s ) , " " Jimmer Freddette is a false idol , " and " Aztec basketball is my religion . " During the 2012 Mountain West Conference Tournament , members of The Show sent out tweets from The Show 's Twitter account that made fun of a camera shot of UNLV 's legendary basketball coach , Jerry Tarkanian . Some of the tweets sent out included “ Will Tark be alive by Saturday to see us storm the court for a 3rd straight year ? ” “ Tarkanian makes Tom Ables ( SDSU ’s dedicated senior citizen fan ) looks like Channing Tatum . ” and “ Tarkanian looks like dog ( bleep ) . ” '' San Diego Union-Tribune '' writer Don Norcross responded by writing an article saying the tweets were sent in poor taste
