The Infamous Shrieking Northwestern Hoops Fan Has Been Silenced

There are a confluence of noises that occur at sporting events.

Basketball is no different, what with the sounds of squeaky shoes and hoarse screams of red-faced coaches filling the arena.

Well, for the past four seasons, the hoops experience at Northwestern University has included a noise foreign to most venues.

Meet Northwestern Superfan Emily Harriott:

 

The building wasn't evacuated, because that sound you heard during that Illinois possession was Emily shrieking and not in fact a siren followed by an emergency message.

 

Indeed, Emily's actually the president of the Northwestern student section, but is also known as The Shrieker in some circles.

Incredibly, she's been making these horrific noises at Wildcat home basketball games for the past three seasons, but it appears that Illini Nation may have finally put an end to the bleeding eardrums.

 

 

Yep, that's Emily alright.

While she wasn't apprehended and detained indefinitely, she did have a conversation with someone in the athletic department, who asked her ever so gently to knock it the hell off.

Emily will apparently comply, but she didn't go quietly.

 

Anyway, she'll soon join the workforce armed with a degree from Northwestern, which will allow her to annoy the crap out of her co-workers in some office high rise forever and ever.
