re: Shitty fans in our section

If they didn’t have a ticket for that seat just tell them to calm down or you’re going to grab the usher

It's also one of the many reasons watching from home is rapidly surpassing attending a game.

I’m not gonna get into a fight w/ some drunk jackass in my living room.

As I get older, things like that have become a bit more important to me.

Dicks will be Dicks... Karma

The stories on there is the reason I opted for Florida this year on my road game I go to.

LMAO good luck with that one

You should’ve intervened.

I went to the ‘07 Florida game by myself. Tickets were expensive and none of my tailgating group wanted to pay. I had driven in from Austin, and wasn’t about to drive all that way and not go to the game. So I found a ticket for $150 ands went and sat down.

Easy to make friends at an LSU game. 1st huge play by LSU I turned high-fived everybody to my right and left, then turned around and high-fived the 2 people directly above me. Then I got a tap on my shoulder. Turned around and dude pointed at his shirt. Had “Gators” written across it. His wife had the same. I laughs and apologized. He said, “shite, no, man. Don’t apologize. We’re the only Florida fans around. We’ll high five you for every big LSU play if you high-five us for every big Florida play.”

So the of us high-fived for every big play of the whole game. And there were several. Besides it just being one of the best games ever, it was a great experience for not just me, but then too. Despite the heartbreaking loss, they had a great time and were in good spirits. We talked all the way down the ramp. I’m sure that wound up not being their last trip to Tiger Stadium, and I’m sure they’ve told that story from their perspective.

THAT is how we should treat opposing fans inside the stadium. Friendly shite-talking outside and some good natured “Tiger Bait”-ing encouraged. But have some couth once inside. I’m not saying for everybody to high-five opposing fans when their team does well, but that was so much more enjoyable than the shite-talking/harassing that I may have been a part of while a drunken college student. And I was just in my mid-late 20s. Constant assholes that add unneeded tension can ruin the experience for the entire section. I want to watch the game, not keep my head on a swivel waiting for a fight to break out.

We had a mom, her HS age daughter and approx 10 y/o son sitting near us. Dad was nowhere around. Mom and daughter took selfies the whole time. The boy was like Greg the flamboyant kid from Curb Your Enthusiasm. He had a good time imitating the Golden Girl dances. NTTAWWT.

I’m surprised no one did anything. If I saw a fan doing that I would have said something and asked them to Tom it tf down and see what happened after that… I would not have sat and did nothing
