That will get you nowhere.
I dropped a few at Ole Miss last year this guy turns around and tells me to "watch my fricking mouth, and stop the god damn cursing"
...This is the same guy who all during the game got pissed with the "go to hell ole miss" chants.
There is a right way and a wrong way to do it.

Agree with this. I understand that you wouldn't want someone using this language around your daughter but keep in mind that kids in middle school discover curses and think its really cool to use them so its probably nothing new to her.

Don't be a vag about it. Use that guy as an example of how not to be at a game. Getting your arse kicked in front of your daughter isn't going to impress her

Well chances are he's probably a coward like this punk so if you asked him to stop in front of people he'd stop.
But if he somehow thought he had the right like this arse clown above, then I'd get someone to watch my daughter in the tunnel then embarass the guy with a beat down in front of everyone. Trust me people like me would help you.

I can tell you how I handled something similar some time ago. I was 9 years old and my Mom took me to my first LSU Game because my dad had recently passed away. It was the LSU/Notre Dame game in the early 70's (The 28-8 Game). There was an LSU fan behind us, drunk and cursing like crazy with f-bombs and sexually related talk. I remember standing up to him and told him to stop using bad language in front of my mom.

It's an uncomfortable situation. Most of us have been guilty of dropping an F-bomb or two in the heat of LSU frenzy. But as a predominantly Southern fanbase, most of us have been taught better and will respond appropriately when politely asked to take it down a notch.
99% of the crowd will appreciate you for doing it. If the polite request doesn't work, then is the time to get the marshall involved. And sometimes maybe it's worth the trouble to help the guilty party "lose his balance" and take a tumble down a few rows. Whoops, maybe you shouldn't have been drinking so much.
OBTW, paying for a ticket doesn't give you an automatic pass to be an obnoxious a-hole.

Didn't read all the responses BUT before EVERY game I remind my 16 yo and 11 yo sons that they will hear/see some very not nice/polite things. I in no way think that they don't/won't ever curse BUT it's my job as a parent to remind them it's not polite (yes, I'm the mom).
That said, I'd have asked him to stop ... and I'd have done it if there were kids around and mine weren't.

I think the "ear muffs" approach is the only thing you can really do...

its a frickin football game. i agree with the dude above that said, tell your children before hand that people are gonna be fired up and cussing. if you dont like it, take your daughter to the ballet. i think cussing at a game full of drunk fools is a given. and when jlee threw that pick i stood up and yelled jesus frickin christ, cant help it in the heat of the moment.

i have been in these situations before. most of the people that sit around us are there every week so we know most of them. every now and then someone will sell/give away thier tickets and a stranger will appear.
we had a guy with his wife/girlfriend and everytime someone would mess up he cuss them up and down. i asked him nicely if he would stop throwing f bombs every where and he said he was sorry and we all enjoyed the game

Exactly. Unfortunately, there are always people that can't comprehend the concept of respecting others around them. Unless it effects them directly, they can't fathom why anybody else would have a problem with what they do, and if asked, even nicely, they see it as someone else's problem and an infringement on their "rights". I'm definetly not a saint, or prude and have been on the other side of the fence when I'm wrapped up in the game. Although I was never "that guy", I was asked before to watch my language because kids were around. I did what is now unthinkable apparently, I apologized and respected their right to enjoy the game with their kid without having to listen to it.
Now, having a 6 year-old of my own, I can appreciate where they were coming from. She doesn't live in a vacuum and it's obvious she has/will hear some of the same things that are screamed out there, but the difference is you can't filter out what happens when you aren't around, but like anything else, you do what you can. And asking the guy/girl to stop is one way to do it. There are other ways, but you hope it doesn't have to come down to that since chances are it'll make more of a lasting impression on your child than the inconsiderate punk that is throwing out F-bombs does.
