different team, but saying "F:censored: you bama" was even less classy two years ago IMO. i have only been embarassed to be a UT fan once in my life. Sitting in the stand with two little kids to the right of me and one sitting in front of me while our student section and large number of other fans chanted that made me more than embarassed actually.
Edit: and this comes from someone who would only root for Alabama over Notre Dame
That's true. I've never done that either, but I can't speak for the entire student section.
On a sidenote, as the lineups were being announced for the ULL - UT basketball game, as orange nation pulled their newspapers out and said "sucks" a small group of students yelled "penis".
It was funny, but classless.
i remember being a student in the student section at many games (94-97) at Neyland. Students are stupid. i know i was. let's see........game day usually called for getting up around 10 to see game day, having my first drink and cointinuing that process (of drinking) either at my apt, on the strip or general tail gate up until kick off.somehow barking doesn't seem so bad as having your student section, and the drunken K-town convention in the upper deck, screaming "sucks" after the calling of each opponent's starters' names during the introduction.

wake up guys! there is a big world out there that you are missing. if you spent half as much time paying attention to your families as you spend here, your kids would love you. just a thought.
i don't disagree. there is a line that shouldn't be crossed. like i said, as i've gotten older, i'm less inclined to repeat or participate in such behavior and actually find myself not condoning it. but i do understand it.jake i understand your comments, and I've seen crap from fans of many SEC and ACC schools as well. I still find them disrespectful. Whether you are nine years old, nineteen years old or 89 years old you have to respectful of those around you.

i would say it's worse today, i wouldn't even argue it. but it has been going on, just not in the same quantity. hard for me to believe, but almost 20 years ago, i was at a TN/Memphis game in the liberty bowl with my entire family......grandparents, aunt, uncle, mom, dad, brothers......and two guys behind me (both in their late 30's/early 40's, and TN fans, were mixing drinks and making ridiculous, and obsene comments about the coach. my grandmother turned around and told 'em to shut up, and they replied with a "why don't you turn around and mind your own business you old b....h".on that note jakez, i've been going to Neyland for a long, long time. Since i was a little kid. I've also attended several Bristol races (hard to believe i used to love NASCAR), and went to just about every ETSU home game in the early nineties. Went to an occasional game in TBA as a youngster, but the games were always so empty and quiet I'm not counting them in this discussion.
If the cursing, perversion, violence and drunkeness went on at all those events like it does at them today, as a little kid I was totally oblivious to it. Perhaps I am overanalyzing it all too much and it's not as a big a problem as most like to think. The question is, can someone older than me back up the fact that crowd behavior no worse today than it was 20 years ago?
ha-ha...your precious GA team took it up the a** from UT the past two years. ha-ha. ohhhh... did it hurtm baby...
FINALLY!!!Classy post :shakehead:
I dont see why everyone is so upset with Richt. You would expect Fulmer to do the same thing. As for the fans whining. It was unrealistic to think that we would have got into the big game but I dont think we should have dropped that far in the polls. Bottom line is if we wanted to get in then we should have beat our conference foes. Fact of the matter is everyone controls their own destiny and if they dont take care of business then you have to be held responsible for the consequences.
As I listened to Richt on the phone with the ESPN folks yesterday, I did not get the sense that he had a deeply held conviction that the Dawgs deserved to be in the championship game. It sounded like he was going through the motions. Last year Lloyd Carr refused to politic for the championship game when given the chance on ESPN, then Urban came on and got on his knees (figuratively). I think you have to do it, and you're right that we would all expect Phil to do the same thing were the Vols in the Dawgs' shoes.Classy post :shakehead:

Finally, one of thier own is calling for all the whining to stop.
The Junk Yard Blawg in the AJC (I wish that I knew how to post the link, but T-Town did not teach that when I was in school, and if they did, i was probably in the weight room)
The UGA whining is embarrassing to the whole SEC.
at least i don't troll other teams posting sites, like you and your classless GA fans that i was responding to, loser.
