Ole Miss fan behavior at games needs improvement

Every school has stupid douche bag fans. If we judged all schools by the actions of few, then every U would look like ****. That is a fact. So lets not go after Ole Miss for the stupid actions of a few when I'm sure they could very easily come back and say something about some stupid fans at LSU or MSU or Florida. It's not fair to let the whole fan base be judged by the acts of few. :lsup:
At the LSU/ Ole Miss football game this year, I was sittin in the bleachers above the opposing tunnel, there was an LSU fan on one side of the tunnel, then an Ole Miss fan in the fan section. They were shouting back and forth at each other like the drunk hick ass idiots that they were. They both kept making hand gestures and calling each other pu****. You catch my drift. It was pathetic. On both parties concerned. They were shouting from a good 25 feet away. They were saying stuff like I'll see you in the parking lot and this and this. This **** was over a FOOTBALL game!!! Its sad when fans get like that. They ruin it for all around them. Especially those with kids. :lsup:

 

Scrappy, no one ever warned you to keep kids out of the South Endzone?:hihi:

 

One of your best posts here. I couldn't agree more. Now that I'm a few years older, I'm much more sensitive to who's around me than when I was a student. I'd much rather one of the parents teach their kids the F word than me forcing the issue wasting my breath.

 

You have a great point and your post is correct 100%. The only problem is some SEC fans think this kind of stupid actions can only happen at LSU and make it out to be a lot worse than just some stupid punks that had too much to drink.
Every school has these types of problems and you read about them every year, just seems only one school is remembered for it.......... :angry:

 

I would have been glad to accompany the gentleman from Texas up the hill and would have been very vocal to any others not. Uncalled for from any section. I guess anyone can be "very brave and manly" when they are at their stadium with about 30 friends. :dis:

 

I don't think that this would ever happen at an LSU baseball game. Yes, the fella may have been given a hard time, but I've been going to LSU baseball games for 16 years, and I've never seen ANY ribbing be anything other than friendly banter. Expletives? I don't think I've ever heard one used to another person maliciously at the Box. I've always known that kind of thing to be VERY unnacceptable, and have gotten the feeling that those around you would make you pay for it. I know that this is something that Box regulars take very seriously.

This is yet another illustration of why I can't stand Ole Miss. This sort of thing happens everytime they get just the slightest shred of success.

Does anyone remember, or was anyone here present for, the big standoff that happened in downtown Oxford the night before the '03 football game? Some guy wrote a detailed account of it in the Revielle. He was down there with some friends of his from UM. Apparently, there was almost a full-scale riot because UM fans couldn't stand the fact that there were opposing fans in their hometown. On one side, there was a giant mob of UM fans. On the other, a giant mob of LSU fans. Things evidently got extremely heated. He even said that he heard a police officer say 'We're only arresting coonasses tonight.'

I realize that things of this nature happen all over the country, and probably moreso in the SEC. But I've seen it at its worst at LSU. And every account that I hear from happenings at Ole Miss are always WAY worse. From what I gather and have seen, when it happens here, enough other LSU fans have the good sense to put a stop to it. On the other hand, the stories that I hear from UM often involve mass encouragement from the surrounding crowd.

If this story would have taken place at the Box, I honestly believe that the first person to have shouted an obscenity at that guy would have been treated very harshly by the other fans, and probably removed from the stadium altogether.

GEAUX TO HELL, OLE MRS.!!!!!!lefire:

 

Baseball is much more tame at LSU as opposed to football. Football can get downright sad with the way some people act. Lets not pretend that LSU is the holyiest of holy's when it comes to fans.Not every fan at LSU is the best cin the country. We all know that. Same can be said for anyone at any school. Basically waht I'm saying is this: LSU has some of the greatest most personable fans in the country. There arent many places where the fans will allow the visiting teams fans to enjoy a tailgate party with them. Having said that, there are a few bad apples. As I said in the previous post, there are the same kind of people everywhere. This incident at OLE miss is isolated. I'm sure they have 95% fans that are just as courteous and gracious as anyone in the country. 5% of the fanbase should not be the measuring stick of the fanbase as a whole. :lsup:

 

You don't have to hang around the restrooms to meet a "butthole" no matter what field you visit. Seriously though. LSU has these portable metal fences at TS that are put in place awaiting the arrival of the visiting team buses. As the players from that team get off the buses, their fans are formed along the fences to yell encouragement to them. At LSU, the younger generation tends to elbow up so they can scream tiger bait and worse. Often angry words are exchanged in the crowd. The players usually wear headsets and waist radios or tapes and avoid looking at the crowd. Do the other sec schools do this? I'm not smacking...I'm asking? I haven't been to any other stadiums in quite a while. I have no trouble at LSU because I am not too thin skinned. Once a group of maybe eight to ten young LSU fans apparently notice my UM cap outside the stadium. They stopped and yelled tiger bait to me. I stopped and laughed as they did. When they finished, I did not yell......I just simply stated "hotty totty gosh amighty--when is LSU going to whip somebody?" That was during the days of Denardo. Now, I know when LSU is going to whip somebody! But they laughed and we kind of went about our ways. No big deal. :thumb: LSU! :crystal:

Most of the "fans" that do talk smack and use expletives are students at each of the universities. I have never in my life cussed out or tried to fight someone b/c they are a UGA or Ole Miss fan. But I have on many occasions, had run ins with students from all the SEC universities. I haven't really seen "old" people taking it to this level, and if some students were talking sh1t to a pregnant lady and an 11 year old, its unacceptable, but nothing you say or do will stop students from rival universities from clashing when thrown together, especially over football.
