HighTide, once again what does u being older than me have to do with anything? Your 38 and im 17 so your opinion is automatically better than mine? Makes alot of sense.

Easy fellas. First off, you are making me feel old! Laughing You are making '66 feel older since he will be 42 this week!! Shocked Shocked Shocked

Stick with observations of the game. You can be just as good of a fan at 17 as you can at 67 and so forth.

You're missing the point. You don't have to preach to anyone about "cheering their @ss off", as you put it. Age doesn't matter, you're just "preaching to the converted". You're telling many (some of whom have been fans long before you) that it's our fault the team didn't play well because we (the people)weren't yelling loud enough. Somehow this whole conversation has digressed, but the bottom line is that you want folks to accept that the offensive line would have performed better had we been more enthusuastic, and I'm calling that "bullsh&t".

Now go do your social studies homework (just kidding, don't get mad).

Geez, so now people are resorting to blaming the fans for the team playing on the field?

Last time I checked the real world doesn't involve xbox's or playstations to the outcome of a real game. This isn't EA Sports NCAA 09. Get real. As mentioned, games are won and lost on the field.

Yes it was quiet most of the time last night. Based on the performance, it was expected and what typically happens. Maybe some of you haven't been going to games much in your life to know but this happens naturally, especially with a non-SEC opponent. And if you honestly thought last night was the worst you've been in BDS, then I know for a fact you haven't been to previous games like this. Hell evewn the recent ULM 07 game was way worse than this game as far as fans go. So spare us the crying or finger pointing game and get over it.

On a lighter note, I think besides the performance of the game, the other thing that probably had everyone pissed was the damn costs at the concession stands Shocked Laughing . Holy geebus what did everyone do to piss these people off to raise the costs SO much on everything? $4 for a water?!!! $6 for a hotdog?!! Shocked Rolling Eyes

Sorry if this post pisses anyone off but I can't stand seeing threads like this. Rubs me the wrong way.

Sorry, but as a Tide prider for the past 8 seasons I just get dissapointed when the fans are dead silent until they boo the team. Thats sad. Or the do the golf thing only cheer at the end of big plays.

I apologize for the entire thread. Next time I'll wait24 hours before posting. Im still cranky full of coffe and AMP energy drink. I am doing homework and trying to schedule my next photo shoot.

I understand your frustration as I felt the same. I too noticed it but I know it doesn't really have a effect on the team in the big scheme of things. If it did I'd be aloty more worried of our team lol. It's best just to take it in strides and hope for the best the following week. We will be OK.

I too did not like to hear the booing but unfortunately this is a growing trend I've started noticeing on many teams. Not just ours. It sucks to hear but it happens these days. Some fans (usually the rabid or delusional ones) boo but will be the first to kiss ass and ride the bandwagon once their team gets a big W. You just have to overlook those fans in disgust and go on.

We will get better. RTR
