Despite being (well, let's just say I sat there as a student near the end of Coach Bryant's time), I actually sat in the student Saturday for the Arky beatdown via student guest tix. It was fun, but the wind shield of students around us had left by halftime. Thus, the 2nd half was quite a bit breezier for us.
We had fun, but my buddy noted that we seemed to have a "halo rule" in effect. We were @ the back of the lower level, and there was a 2-3 yard semi-circle around us where nobody sat. As if, "Don't make eye contact with the creepy old guys & definitely don't sit near them!" :biggrin2: (FWIW, my buddy's an MSU grad who despises the Hogs; he was all Bama Saturday.)
He asked how it's different, & I told him that back in the day, if you were part of a group of more than 2, you needed to be there when the gates opened, or you wouldn't be sitting together. So, when the majority of the student section was empty an hour before kickoff, I was confused.
