And I'm 99% sure that she has ZERO clue that those softball chants annoy people around her as much as the guy flexing annoys her.

AND I bet if you told her to stop the softball chants she would probably tell you that she can do what she wants at a game. Ironic isn't it?

That whole thing with him is weird too. Like did he just show up one day to McArthur Hall and tell Polk "Hey! I'm the bus driver!" and Polk just went along with it?

It's pretty crazy that he claims that he started the LFL too. He really believes it. Completely delusional.

When I was younger I thought my parents were insane and I loved loud music. The older I've gotten the smarter my parents have become and I can't stand loud music. It's not that I don't like music, it's that it physically hurts when it's loud now. With that said for some older folks it's physically impossible to stand for.long periods of time. Just saying.

So, I'm sure the older folk would love to have courtside seats if they can afford it to have an unobstructed view. However if they did, aren't those the coveted seats that the students are demanding. And, older folk are more prone to not coming to games for weather and health related reasons (empty seats).

So do you want old folk to come to the game or not? Or do you just prefer that they wander off and die? I really don't think thats what you want. I was always taught by my parents, who keep getting smarter, to respect your elders. They've earned it.

Before every game they make an announcement over the loudspeakers about what is acceptable behavior. The "no obscene language towards players, officials, blah, blah, blah" speech. To me that kind of outlines what is and isn't acceptable at a game for all ages.

I don't recall "no flexing your muscles" in the speech. Plus, this fan was not even in the row in front of her. He was like at least 2-3 rows down.

And to be fair I don't recall "no softball chants" in the speech either. And that would maybe annoy me. I would probably ignore it since it's an elderly female. I sure as hell wouldn't take it to Twitter and tag a MSU athlete about it.

Pretty simple. If you go to a 10K+ person event, some are gonna stand and some are gonna sit.

Is it mandatory for you to stand? No.

If you're at a concert and in the pit and try to sit.. lol.

Go sit up high. Go sit courtside. Go sit at home. *IF* someone else standing up during/after big plays and pivotal moments is a problem for you.

If you need to sit, but it's not a problem for you that some others stand, then by all means come.



Someone said this is a more-MSU thing but no, it's actually a post covid thing. A lot of folks got spoiled and entitled by sparse seating and watching stuff perfectly at home and now expect the game to be "a better version of home." Thats not at all the case.

Literally explained it to a coworker that moved from India (and got his legal formal citizenship). Theres different sections to every sporting event. Usually upper/mid/lower levels. At his first NASCAR race, it was pretty apparent to see the differences in the 3 because we moved around.

Upper Level - see the whole track, best for watching the game if you truly care to watch the actual sport.
Lower Level - experience the event, best for people wanting to feel the energy of a massive event (lots of standing happens here).
Mid Level - typically best of both worlds and reserved for suites very commonly.

This ladies problem is she wants the view of the upper level and to eliminate the experience of the lower level. Just stay home if that's the case.

There seems to be some confusion about my post. I thought I made it clear that I wasn't trying to defend the idiot in question but make a more general statement about the complexities of getting old. The idiot is an idiot no doubt.

However while the majority of the posts have focused on the idiocy of the idiot, a few have slid into the realm of bashing "old folks". Even the OP mentioned old folks in his post. Idiots come in all shapes, sizes, and ages. I seem to remember a few 17 to 20 year olds (young folks) throwing bottles at the referees at a particular Kentucky game a few years ago. Again idiots will be idiots. I've been an idiot a time or two myself as I'm sure all of you have.

Anyway, all I'm saying is try to be respectful regardless of age. If you can't be, go ahead and be obnoxious and rude. It's your right to be an idiot apparently.

Eh, your alternative you laid out to everyone having to sit down was letting old people wander off and die. No one has even hinted at anything like that.

Obviously your tastes change as you get older. The issue is that Maroon Karen thinks her tastes matter more than everyone else's.

I said the older crowd. I mean with Mary and Everett telling fans that they are spoiled, I think that?s the same category. If it was the middle aged or younger crowd, I would do the same. I am just going to tell Cam Matthews that he cannot flex anymore after a 2 hand jam. Cam and Mary must be close since she tagged him in her tweet.

She thought that would go better. That's how arrogant she is. She thinks she's more important to Mississippi State than she is. It's just like a lot of these twitters accounts that because they have a couple of thousand followers they can influence change at Mississippi State. We need more Brooks Bryant's and less Maroon Mary's.

Well and the last time it went poorly for her was when she went after Brooks Bryant. He was trolling her and she was just completely oblivious to it. It was something about a national anthem if I remember correctly.

She threatened to block me haha. I?m like ok and that is fine

Just mute her. It's a lot better. Then you can just glance when she inevitably does something dumb like this but don't have to keep seeing it when she tries to drag it on for the next week. Because trust me, she will. She'll have some smart ass tweet on Saturday and she'll get raked over the coals once again.

she reminds me of ole piss fans in the grove who simply think they are something due to being in ones presence.
