...right behind me:
"Yeah, just lay there and play like you're hurt after you drop the ball..."

This from a 50+ year-old "fan".

I came very close to risking being arrested for assault with intent to cause bodily injury on this a-hole...

Then, after seeing the medical staff motion for the cart for Blaine, I decided to head to the concourse and walk off my disgust instead of donkey-punching the goofy bastard behind me. Then, the terminally pissed-off, eternally negative old pile of crust that sits at the end of the row grumbles as I passed in front of him, "At least he didn't fumble..."

I said to his face, "That's a ****** remark!" & he just gave me a smirk.

As I was heading back up to my seat, another fervent supporter of UT Football says, in a loud voice, "C'moan, Mack! Drag him off and let's get goin'. I ain't got time fer this ****!"

We've got some real jewels for so-called "fans"...

Yes, yes we do. But all fanbases have them and have to endure them, I guess. I just wish they would find another team to "root" for. That guy will be out of the bleachers soon enough with the self imposed stresses he puts on his old ticker.
 
Weird...maybe there's something about sec108. Some jackhole up by me in s108 row 50 said "If you're gonna get hurt, at least hold onto the ball."

I should've raised hell on the dude. What is wrong with people?
 
Karma is a *****! Those ******** will get what is comin to them. I am sick of these old farts thinkin they know better. Why don't they just keep their asses at home and watch the game? I'd rather them keep their diarrhea of the mouth in their "humble abode" than to spill it at DKR and have the empty seats. ********!!!!!
 
people like that carry that same attitude everywhere they go. they don't leave it in the stands. they mut be miserable to live life like they do.
 
I agree. It's just a bad as young farts spewing the f bomb with kids around and then saying "If you don't like listening to it, don't buy a ticket." Bad behavior by both. Good news is that most of us fans have more class.
 
It's absolutely awful that those so-called Texas fans are so negative when a Texas player goes down. I'm not too surprised, though. I'm a die-hard Texas fan and I come early, cheer loudly, and stay late. Unfortunately, I can't say that for most Texas fans. Did you see the stands by the time the third quarter began? A lot of Texas fans were gone (maybe getting drunk already). I've gone to SEC games and Big 10 games and I saw more people in those games stay for the entirety of a game than I see for Texas games. Just look at the stands once there is kick-off. You'll see Texas fans are barely making it in. Now, check out the stands at an SEC game...those folks really do "come early, [are] loud, and stay late." I wish Texas fans would do the same.

As much as I hate then Fightin' Texas Fightin' Fightin' Texas aggies, I admire how loud their fans are throughout an entire game. Texas fans don't come close to how intense those aggies can get through the entirety of a game.
 
Wow, with all the empty seats and A-holes in the stadium makes you wonder what the % of actual good loyal fans are.

Irby has been a class act since he has gotten here and that was a brutal season ending injury. Might not have looked like it initially at the game but anytime a player goes down the proper etiquette is to sit, hold one finger up if you want to, and wait and see and hope.
 
The "down in front" guys are trying to spread it to the high school games too.

Some locals are thinking about t-shirt with "UP IN BACK" printed on the back of their tees.

NativeTxChic, sounds like you and several thousand more UT fans need shirts with this printed on the back, lol.
 
Tornjock,

I'm not saying I don't believe you, but I do think you are exaggerating just a little bit. I have been going to Longhorn games for 20 years off and on and haven't missed a single game in the last 7 (with the one exception of getting stuck in Cancun because of Hurricane Wilma in 05) and I have never heard anything close to what you are saying. Then you hear others just down the row from you as well???????

In my section we had one guy that made some questionable comments and the crowd turned against him. I'm not saying we don't have people that are idiots, but what you are saying is something that I have just not witnessed ever as a Longhorn fan.

It would be more believable if it were just one fan, but the story goes on and it just makes you wonder?????????

I35,

With all do respect, Tornjock is not exaggerating. I would not be surprised if the ahole in s108, r23 has to have facial reconstructive surgery before we take on aggy.

I don't know which is worse, the original classless remark, or the accusation that fans over 50 are all like that. If you ever sit among the students, you will find them far more likely to utter something like that than an older fan.
But any age fan can be a total ***.
I usually say "What a jerk," out loud, but not to their face, when I hear something like that. I find that there are 50 people who will turn and immediately agree with me, and this has so far kept the idoit from smashing my face in.
I'm glad TornJock said something to this particular classless jerk. Maybe a nose tweaking would have been more appropriate, perhaps this should be the preferred retort for DKR boorish fan behavior.
 
I think some of these remarks may be from fans that either bought or were given tickets from the regular season ticket holders. I have noticed that some "Rice" type games the regular people aren't there. Of course some people are just 'born jackasses'.
 
Rest assured they NEVER played the game, but they sure do act like they are tough guys that know all about it.
 
I wasn't objecting to stating the fan's age, I was objecting to this reaction:

"Karma is a *****! Those ******** will get what is comin to them. I am sick of these old farts thinkin they know better. Why don't they just keep their asses at home and watch the game? I'd rather them keep their diarrhea of the mouth in their "humble abode" than to spill it at DKR and have the empty seats. ********!!!!! "

What does being an "old fart" have to do with anything? The rests of us old farts are offended, and may practice a group harrumph during the next game-that'll show you.
 
If someone in your section is being a jackass it is your duty to point it out to them and everyone else in the vicinity. If that was their son laying injured on the field, I doubt they would be such a-holes
