Who's the drunk behind home plate-

A guy in the row behind me was totally shithammered. As God as my witness, he stood up and his pants fell to his ankles. His ankles! He bent forward to try and pull them up and just tumbled head first over into my row. The entire section was laughing. He made his way down to the concourse and I thought that would be it. My dignity would have sent me scurrying to the car, but back he came five minutes later. :D

Well the screamer is fairly irritating, but he is an amateur compared to the jackas- whistler Vandy puts up with. You would think the Vandy staff or somebody would get him to stop, even if it took knocking out his front teeth. Were I a Vandy player, I would not be able to concentrate on play having this "chirping" going on all the time. I would find it hard to pay to see a Vandy game (let alone a season) knowing I had to endure this continual noise. Don't get me wrong some of this whistling is OK. Back when I played (a long time ago) any shortstop who could would whistle of and on for the whole game. This Vandy sh-- is different. I think he does it just to irritate the opposing team and fans. He to naïve (or stupid) to realize it irritates everyone from players, coaches, announcers, fans and those watching on TV of both teams.

There are actually three of them sitting together right under the press box. Some people were annoyed by them, but those guys also were pretty funny. They got lots of laughs too and two officials acknowledged their taunts … which encouraged them. Overall we had a blast.

When they started yelling “cock******” towards the end of the game last night they went too far.

These guys must be brand new ticket holders and they want everyone to know they are there now by yelling. None of the regular season ticket holders recognize them, and a couple of guys said they’re Tennessee’s equivalent of the Vandy whistler.

Donde Plowman, her husband and another couple sat down near these 'fans' today. It was great- they toned it down at least 50%. They were only crazy loud when they yelled 'charge' with others.

I'm going to admit something crazy

I my 30 years attending baseball games; I've never seen a sloppy drunk.

I think it's a step forward in the program as we must now be considered a baseball school. I actually stood in my first bathroom line over 5 mins a few weeks ago.

CRAZY!

I'm guessing I sit near you all in Sec. D.

Those guys do get really annoying (it's mainly just the one dude that's always there), mainly because its constant and 98% of it is just stupid noise. Heckling is only worth it when its timed well. That and yelling "SMOKEY DOGGGGG!!!" every time the costume comes around kills me.

I laughed when Plowman and her husband rolled in, I figured they'd pull back a little.

you know, I hadn't thought about it, but I haven't either. Saw some during the playoffs having quite a good time last year but never like this!

I almost enjoyed the fact that he was having a conversation with the pitcher, Tony. He even apologized one time for stepping over the line. "And if Tony's mom is here, I'm sorry to offend your son. I like this kid." You know it has to be in the pitcher's head. If you are doing anything to keep them from thinking about what they are supposed to be doing it is successful. Better than the dad and kid behind me who had no idea what they were hollering. The dad said hey batter batter swing when we were batting. A player's mom turned around and said you only do that when the other team is batting. Thought I was going to lose it.

I would have thought @cobbwebb0710 would have known when to say batter batter swing. Must have been the bourbon.

My dad is rolling over in his grave with that stuff. I don't think he would have made it through a college baseball game in the stands. He was a baseball fanatic, but a purist. Drunk/annoying fans, bat flipping, theatrics on 2nd base after hitting a double, going Benchwarmers by "booping" home plate... all of that would have set him over the edge. When I went to UT (from out of state), all my dad cared about was how good the baseball team was. He didn't care that football was #1 and he definitely didn't care about basketball. He couldn't have told you 1 player on our national championship football team. But he certainly knew who Chris Burke was!

Thanks. Tell him you want an autograph for his dad. I need a few of those. My wife actually has him autograph balls and dates from each team we play if she can get one of their bp balls. She gave me a glass base lamp filled with signed baseballs for Christmas. One of my best gifts was one of the chairs from UT locker room in Omaha. Logo and all.

Those guys are brand new this year and they want to let everyone know they’ve arrived 🙄 Late in the game on Saturday they started yelling ‘cock******’ and that was too much. They’re Tennessee’s equivalent of the Vandy whistler.

I don’t know if they’re the same guys that people who watched the game on tv were complaining about in the Missouri game thread because they were picked up on the mics, but considering these guys sit under the press box, and mics hang out of the press box, odds are it’s the same guys.

Our fanbase has tradionally been able to create a hostile environment without being crude. I hope that's not allowed too change.
