It will take drastic measures to make the bafoonery stop. Fans on the field, showing up you opponent, etc.

Something like forfeiting your next game.

The coaches can’t control the brats that were raise to always disrespect your opponent if you make a play. It’s been going on in major league sports for decades. That is one of the reasons I don’t watch the NFL or NBA.

Just my old a$$ opinion, and stay off my lawn.
 
I like it, deferring to patience and savoring the ride!
As a general football fan, I think this weekend was one of the best NCAA weeks in football in quite a while because:

We got to see UGA, taken to THE limit, at home.... by Georgia Tech and Haynes King.
Unranked Syracuse, beat #4 Miami.
University of Tennessee be what we expected them to be and that was to take care of Vanderbilt.
#2 Ohio State unable to get out of it's own way and unable to beat a very beatable Michigan team.
Unranked Memphis beat #17 Tulane
 
This is why the USA watches the SEC:

8 schools in the Top 25?
I'm more interested in who wins the SEC than I am the NCAA

#3 Longhorns host #7 UGA next week, current line is Longhorns -2.5

So Big Orange should move up another spot next week.

I'm just curious, what do miss most about Texas?
What don't miss about Texas?

I really enjoyed Austin, there’s a lot going on there. It’s Texas, but not too Texas/cowboy. They have a good graduate program, so I got to hang out with some remarkable colleagues. But, I don’t miss it, because I’m living in Knoxville!
 
I did, and that was worse, but I went to grad school at Texas so I don’t enjoy watching the horns act like a bunch of ignoramuses.

The last part is actually a big deal to me.
Part of why I'd never consider going to UGA is because it is more known as a party school than it is anything else.

Whether students like it or not and they say thing like:

"Our school of education is really good"
or
"Our school of journalism is on par with Northeastern (or north western, I don't remember"

What America remembers is the number of DUIs their football players get and that you're a party school.

For the parents and grandparents out there to go down memory lane:

I've been invited, right now, by our smallest visitors to play Go Fish and Uno!

Reality: Me and my roommates are to distract the kids because she's wrapping early Christmas presents for the kids up stairs.
My mom used to tell me and Jason that she was friends with Mrs. Clause and to unburden Santa on Christmas Day, he could drop off a few gifts early AND, most importantly, we could open them right away.
