[Wake-IU] Could someone explain this?

Were they actually chanting "SEC"?  And, if so, what the hell does 
that have to do with the "largest margin of victory in the Challenge"?  
Moreover, what are the odds that a large proportion of the crowd knows 
that the largest margin of victory was 33 points, or that many fans 
even care about that distinction?  Bizzare.
