When did throwing drinks become synonomous with scoring a td? I sat in the upper for Bama and could see on the Ridley TD the cups came flying from the upper parts of the section. Just curious why we started doing this again. I remember when I was a freshman people did this after every TD. The police got a handle on it after people kept getting hurt from projectiles. Just wondering why it's become more evident again.

I was in school 2000-04 and it happened all the time then.

It was cool for Florida and Auburn in 07. Now it's kind of annoying.

I'm fine with them doing it when we score a big, late TD against a good team (except for Tennessee because we lost at first)

Add this to my response to you and the others in the pom pom thread.


People were throwing shite in the 90's when we scored. I got hit with bourbon all the time.

Don't like it?

Carry your arse out of the Student Section.

i've seen it since 2000. they cracked down on it in 2000/2001 but basically every time we scored back then, cups flew in the air. I disagree with water bottles/glass bottles because not enough liquid can escape from water bottles so that it doesn't hurt and glass would hurt either full or empty. The plastic concessions cups are fun though because they empty out and it is the equivalent of attending a Mardi Gras parade and getting hit with a cup.

I threw one at the end of the bama game but throwing one for every td is dumb and a waste.

Every touchdown in the early 90s, of coarse we did not score many touchdowns back then.

I was sitting in the NE during a game in 1998. I was covered in whiskey and coke. I was the designated driver for that night and drove back home to Alexandria. A state trooper pulled me over on I-49 and he just knew he had a DWI. After testing me and arguing with me for almost an hour he finally broke out the analyzer. Of course I blew a zero but the dumb arse still accused me of drinking.

they did that in the 90's when i was there. i thought it was childish and frankly dangerous back then. our student section makes our fanbase look bad. buddy's wife got hit with a half full water bottle thrown from the top row. it wasn't pretty

this is why sitting in the student section while sober is a miserable experience.
