We sat around mostly MSU fans not far from their band. I'll give them credit for the spunk and patience to hang around when the game was over at 17-0 early in the 3rd.
However, two MSU fans right behind be drove me crazy with their constantly crud F-bomb barrage, x-rated, sexual comments about refs and their obnoxious capacity to ignore the reality that they were completely outclassed on the field.
Well, that exception deserves a comment (btw - let me know when you're going to a game here sometime and I'll be glad to go with ya). My son and I went to the Michigan game in 2012. We boarded a bus we were told was going over to Jerry World. It was FULL of Michigan supporters. They had already been tying one on. One guy came up to me very politely and explained what bus I was on and noted that I was welcome to stay and for that matter so was my son but that as a father he knew crude comments and innuendo were going to be made and he knew I probably didn't want my son (who was 13 at the time) around it. I thanked him and shook his hand as we got off the bus, and he even noted they'd probably get killed.
Fast forward to the game. Two loud-mouthed Alabama fans sat behind me. I'd have rather been forced to sit with Harvey Updyke at an Auburn game to be blunt about it. They were the stereotypical redneck fans that folks think constitutes our fanbase at large. We left early.
At the 2014 Florida game, the guy five folks to my right needed tossed onto Bryant Drive. Absolute jerk. And harrassing Florida fans down in front of us. I had not one complaint about how Gators were in our house and I wanted them to have a positive experience other than the outcome of the game. This guy was a jarhead with steroids and probably broken dreams of being a high school player, living vicariously through Amari Cooper like all normal earthlings not named WMack do (he lives through Kevin Norwood, who cannot be killed by conventional weapons).
Stay classy, Sparty.
