You are an idiot! By standing the entire game, you FORCE those behind you to stand whether they want to or not, fans like you are other fans nightmare!


Did you actually READ the OP?? It was the first quarter!! Jesus people...

now that i am older i don't always stand. sitting is what us old codgers do. however, when the people in front of me stand to cheer or watch a close play, i stand too. if the game is lopsided i may just sit and figure out what happened. there is no friggin' way i would ever tell the people in front of me to sit down. i'm glad that we still have lots of vocal fans that get into the game passionately. if i couldn't stand, i'd either sit the whole game or not go. i firmly believe it is your right to stand as long as it is in your space and wouldn't even consider doing anything except sharing my flask with them.


Boom! I want to be this guy when I am a grandDad!

Well the OP hasn't specified as to whether it was due to him standing the entire game or only a handful of plays. Nor has he specified whether The people in front of him were standing.

If its a big play/kickoff/3rd down/the people in front of me are standing, I'm un-assing and not asking those behind me for permission. I think this is commonly accepted game etiquette. If anyone has a problem with this, then they are showing me just as much disrespect as you're admonishing this guy for having.



Nearly everyone below me was standing, I agree that standing the entire game is not necessary. Big plays, 3rd & 4th downs and all the usuals of course. I think I am pretty respectful during games, but I get pumped for the Tigers! FWIW I did sit after the rows in front started sitting.

I nearly lost it with the halfback pass from Ware to Landry...executed perfectly IMO
100% agree. All 17 rows below me were standing.
We were losing the game!! Dude was maybe 28-30, had his lady with him, who obviously was not into the game. Beat it...
But I was shocked when I got a tug on my shirt from the guy behind me asking if I could sit down so they could see. This was in the 1st quarter when the Tigers were actually DOWN 3 points! My response of "are you serious?!?" was all I could come up with.

Am I the only person that thinks this was beyond inexcusable for ANY tiger fan? I mean my 4 and 8 year old kids were standing!!

After a long day of tailgating, you will always find me standing in Section 305! :cheers: :geauxtigers:
