I know....but I think it's funny how he decided to send this to a media outlet for them to publish it. SEC players at least just understand that it's how it happens and they just deal with it.

They haven't figured out how college football works out west. Butthurt is all he is.

Is it bad if I actually agree with him, at least to some extent? I'm not surprised by it, and it doesn't make want to avoid games or tell the fanbase to (expletive) themselves, but it is a shame that a lot of people think that's what being a fan is about.

No no....It's not bad at all. Being a former player of football (albeit High School), I at least have a more than basic understanding of playcalling and gameplan work for games. So when I gripe about something, I usually have a good basis to work off of.

Maybe he should sit somewhere else next time or drink a beer and chill the **** out while at the game. There's idiots in all facets of life not just football games.

this guy should visit every other BCS conference stadium. i'd be shocked if the exact same behavior didn't occur at all but a very very small handful of them (duke?). i hate when someone focuses like this on a single fanbase when the problem exist across the whole country. it's like our fans bitching about students and saying we have the "worst" students when the students are showing up late, leaving early, or not showing up at all everywhere. i agree it's something we should try to work on, but there's also no reason to go off calling them the "worst" over it and acting like we're any different from the rest of the world.
