That husband and wife pair seem like quite a piece of work. It sounds like they both need to grow up and be considerate of the people around them. I doubt it will happen since they probably consider themselves 'red ass'.

There's a fine line between redass and dumbass

Sbisa,
You have eligibility unless you played for 4 years. Just look at the 60+ year old guy playing for Sul Ross. We all have eligibillity, unless you played ball.

This is wrong. By NCAA rulings (for D-1), you have 5 years from the day you step onto campus to complete your eligibility. So all of those who have graduated (and are 5 years from their freshman fall semester) are now ineligible.

With out class. Grow up! and enjoy your status as a Former Student. The players looking up, are probably wondering who those idiots are.

"86,000 times higher than the highest honored graduate of tu"

Forget, Hell!

Sorry missinaggieland, but you're wrong.

Forister, I did not hear the exchange of words that happened, I was mostly focused on drunk yell leader guy right behind me.

I don't agree with standing up the entire game in the alumni sections. I absolutely agree with standing up during exciting plays and key moments, I did it multiple times. But there are children and elderly people in the alumni sections and they deserve to watch the game as well.

Sorry twopercent, but missinaggieland is correct.

The old guy can play because the rule is not the same in lower division schools. In Div 1 you have five years to compete for four, unless you are granted a medical redshirt.

Damnit, i hate being wrong.

Note to self: Do not join the Houston A&M Howdy Club.

I think what's overlooked in all the discussion is the consideration for your fellow Ags. Truth is that if in your zeal you go over the top and ruin the gameday experience for another Ag or a visitor that makes you a bad Ag. When you're so worried about being "redass" that you make likfe miserable for your neighbors then you've lost the class that us Ags would like to believe we have.

I was on row 25 as well in section 504 and witnessed the whole thing - as well as talked with a few involved in it.

My sister and I also had the pleasure of putting up with the absurdity of drunk/belligerant/idiot/yelling man that wanted to fight all of the cops. He was right behind us yelling in our ears the whole time, scaring everybody, and setting a really nice example of what it means to be an Aggie. The good news is that apparently he had class the next day(?) Cuz during the 3rd quarter he leans up to my sister and I and said something like...<in 3 yr old manner>"I'm leaving! I have CLASS tomorrow..."</in 3 yr old manner>. And then he left. And 80,000 fans silently cheered and enjoyed the rest of a great second half.

As for the guy that would not sit down, he just took it too far. And people that take things like that to an extreme are the ones that ruin it for everyone in the end. Just like everything else in life, a little common sense will go a long way.

I would love to stand up the whole game too, I love it. I miss the student section. It's a lot of fun and it's the kind of tradition that makes A&M special. But if he is the only one standing up in the ENTIRE section, he's not an ol' army hero, he's a pain in the a$$.

Just because somebody buys a ticket does not mean they have the right to stand/sit/do whatever they want while at the game. That's selfish. That is NOT A&M. It's a team experience. Anytime an Aggie tradition becomes something you are using as a personal statement (especially to other Aggies), I think it's a good sign you are abusing it.

Bottom line is that nobody in the section had a problem with people jumping up and standing up when exciting things are happening or when a good chunk of the crowd has a reason to stand up. There was great participation in that regard in our section. No problem at all. That's part of a great game atmostphere. But standing the ENTIRE game, in a section where EVERYONE else is sitting, after being asked nicely REPEATEDLY to sit down, is not being a red-a$$ Aggie - it's being a jack-a$$ Aggie...and it's an embarassment to all of us.

I'm sure that the gentlemen that wouldn't sit down had good intentions, but we have to remember that, first and foremost, our tradition as Aggies is that we are thoughtful, classy, courteous, respectful, and SELF-LESS. If we forget that, then none of our other traditions mean anything.

Stay classy, drunkies. I was in section 504. Whenever the security guard says "I'd be mad too if the guy in front of me was standing up the whole game" or asks mr. skunk drunk wanna be yell leader "Do you wanna do this the hard way or the easy way?" and your buddy responds "THE HARD WAY!" I don't think you have a leg to stand on, pardon the pun...

I'm leaving! I have CLASS tomorrow.

Supposedly he actually said something along the lines of "I'm leaving because I have class, and you don't"
not school "class", but higher standards "class".

I could be wrong.

for clarification: there's a jack & a jenny. but jackasstress can be used in the heat of debate.

Maybe he had class in Porcelain 101: Puking in the Kyle Field bathroom stalls...

I'm dying to know of these random yells that Mr. Drunk-Skunk-Pretend-Yell-Leader-Jack@ss-Man was doing. Were they standard yells at random times, or just totally made up yells? Were they better than that bottle rocket yell? lol

I sit in Section 210 and many times most in the section stand for a key series of downs- but not every series of downs.

He was mostly doing Beat the Hell over and over again. He kept doing the Bus Driver yell which I really didn't get, because I hadn't notice the whole standing confrontation a couple of rows back.

So I think he was doing the Bus Driver yells towards Mr. Forister but the trouble began when he continued doing them after the cops arrived. Then he pissed the cop off and when the cop told him to shut up, he became confrontational, i.e. "I wanna go the HARD way".

Unbelieveable

The players are the ones there to work, and even on their worst day they're not going to call your dumb ass down to help them.

Just so I have the image correct from the multiple threads: Jackass was wearing a purplish 12thMan jersey, and Jackasstriss was wearing a "Book 'em Horns" shirt? Wow. And he was trying to lead yells?

Again, I'd like to better understand this "tradition" of the dead former students' obligation to stand the entire game. That is absolutely ridiculous.

No S***.

1. FYI...RE: jackasstress; ass is the animal, the genders are Jack (male) and Jenny (female)

2. F-Bombs are uncalled for in general; They are absolutely uncalled for around ladies and kids

3. Re: sitting vs. standing; If I paid fro my seat I'll do as I please. I like to stand personally, but if I have someone infirm behind me,I would have the decency to sit.


Thatisall

Clarke95, there are 2 different male antagonists here. The first is the Howdy club president guy who was standing and got himself kicked out, along with his wife, who I guess was wearing a book'em horns tshirt while flicking off the entire section.

The second guy threw himself into the conflict by jawing with the cop and performing his own yells. He was wearing a purple jersey, his picture can currently be viewed in this thread:

I'd just like to say between this and the TABC thread today was very entertaining around here.

So check this my bro and I were sitting section 316 westside for the OSU game. As the game progressed the sloppy A&M play resulted in us and several other ags nearby to sarcastically joke about our play and fran's coaching. By the end of the first half we had supplied plenty of humorous commentary to the surrounding fans, receiving a number of chuckles and smiles from the listeners.

Well apparently the guy in front of me was the only person nearby that didn't enjoy our sarcasm. He turned and confronted me at halftime saying, "[he] was sick of having to listen to us the entire half, and that kind of sarcasm can get pretty DAMN annoying. You know?" It wasn't that we were swearing I assure you.

Since when is it a crime to be sarcastic.
I don't like to put it this way, but I'm gonna have to agree that if you don't want to hear it watch the game at home or brings some ear plugs. Because if you can put up with the Aggies playing like crap without voicing your opinion then how good of a fan can you really be.

Why do I think of this when I picture security asking them to leave?

No reason for me to call them jacks but it is darned inconsiderate to wear large cowboy hats into Kyle Field. (Two guys in 209). The guys were in no way offensive, but do they realize that their big hats obstruct the view of others? And it was night. THINK!!
PS: They did not obstruct my view. I just thought when they walked in and sat down a few seats to the right that it was inconsiderate of those sitting immediatley behind them. BIG HATS SHOULD BE BANNED FROM KYLE FIELD FOR THE SAME REASON THAT UMBRELLAS ARE BANNED: PEOPLE CAN'T SEE THROUGH THEM, FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!!!

HOLY CRAP!! That dude washed up my fish year and ended up joining V-1.

Nice guy and all, but I thought the name rang a bell.

LMAO

I'm trying to become undiscombobulated here. It must be hard to be a detective and merge all the stories.

My attempt at Cliff Notes:

1. JackAzz and JennyAzz thought it would be good bull to stand the entire game in a non-student section. Others in the crowd didn't appreciate this, so apparently somebody told the cops. Cops show up. As the cops are walking Jack and Jenny out, Jenny gives the double eagle to the crowd(Probably in response to the Tazer Yell -- see #3 below).

2. Enter Drunk El Guapo(DEG), who kept doing "Sit Down, Bus Driver" yells (ostensibly directing them at Jack and Jenny) while the Cops were there, and at some point a cop says to El Guapo, "Look, we can do this the easy way, or we can do it the hard way," to which DEG replies "I WANT THE HARD WAY!"

3. Also at some time after #1 or #2 began, the crowd initiated a new Aggie Yell. "Taz-er! Taz-er! Taz-er!"

Open Questions:
Q1. Was DEG with Jack and Jenny?

Q2. Did anyone have the comic genius to yell "DON'T TAZE ME, BRO!" after the cops showed up?

Q3. Was DEG doing his yells in any way related to Jack and Jenny at first? Was he just doing them the entire game and somehow got entangled when the fuzz showed up?

Q4. Who did the crowd want to be tazed?
a) Jack
b) Jenny
c) DEG
d) All of the above

"Enquiring" minds want to know.

As an aside, Jack and Jenny, I feel for ya, you just probably weren't used to being an old Ag -- but it is what it is and the cop was right -- if you wanna stand the whole game, sit with the students. I think many grads who are new to the whole "if you're old and you know it, then sit down" policy have had a similar experience at one point or another, we just gave up much quicker than you did.

Can someone cliff note my post now? lol (have fun!)

Damn, I sit in the zone armchairs. Glad to know all the old farts are to my right.

Clay, you need to either edit the info you and your wife posted or find out who is using you as a sock puppet. You're both easily identifiable professionally and easily subject to being really screwed. It's not a good idea to have various press releases issued about your professional successes and then publically fess up to being total tools in public. All you need to do is ask your wife what happens in her line of business when someone is branded as unstable outside the office.

hey also had El Guappo belligerent ag with them who thought he was a yell leader.

I still can't believe El Guapo was there and I missed it.



In a way, each of us has an El Guapo to face. For some, shyness might be their El Guapo. For others, a lack of education might be their El Guapo. For us, El Guapo is a big, dangerous man who wants to kill us. But as sure as my name is Lucky Day, the people of Santa Poco can conquer their own personal El Guapo, who also happens to be *the actual* El Guapo!

some drama for the night crowd...ttt

qqchuck,

In response to Q3, DEG was doing a combo of BTHOSU yells for the team, and Bus Driver yells I believe directed at Jack & Jenny (because why on earth else would you be doing Bus Driver yells unless he was just that drunk?).

I don't believe he was with Jack and Jenny as they were 3 or 4 rows up from him.
