Poor Sportsmanship - ISU vs. Texas Edition
- Thread starter ken
- Start date
Guess I watched a different game then. That was the worst, most one-sided officiating I can ever remember.
The flag thing really rubbed me the wrong way, it didn't seem right for them to come parading in waving the American flag. I would have been upset if we would have done it as well, it's a football game and I don't think ones side should be running in with the flag like they are representing our country (arrogance at its finest), it is disrespectful if anything.
Thanks for catching that . . I didn't see it from the hillside. You are absolutely correct.
It's a football game, running in waving the American flag like their team flag was a bit over-the-top imo. Plus like the other guy said they just threw it on the ground afterwards.
On another note, people really need to stop getting completely trashed and going to games. It is really annoying and embarrassing, not just for them but for the entire fan-base. If all your looking for is to get smashed please just go to the bar or out to a party, its not worth filling up the stands with people that ruin the game for others.
Obviously the product ISU put on the field Saturday night led many ISU fans to vomit all over themselves and others.
ISU has a pretty salty team, they have talent, they have weapons, and yet.... they find ways to repeatedly beat themselves. It is frustrating to watch a team that is capable of so much more simply **** their pants when a big name opponent comes to town.
Tradition? You mean "made up" . . . school traditions? OR . . . U.S. law on protocols associated with the handling of the U.S. flag? See:
U.S. Flag Code
"Solid tradition" it is not.
One thing I hate about the student section. Had a guy behind me that was pushing me off the bleacher and poking me. Was going to turn around and beat the **** out of the guy.
The student section is honestly worse than ever this year. We had some ******* in front of us who kept falling back onto us he was so drunk, nearly knocked my wife over. I love the Clones, but the kind of crap that goes on in there makes almost not want to go to the games any more.
You mean there are drunk, loud, and obnoxious people in the student section?
I for one, am stunned and apalled.

Can't say I don't expect it, just don't like it. Just wish I could watch a football game at JT without have to put up with some drunk d-bag for once!
Either just choose to not get so ruffled by someone else's behavior, or change sections.
There have been drunk people at college football games since the beginning of college football. If drunk, loud, obnoxious people bother you, I would avoid sitting in the student section of college football games. You aren't going to change what goes on there.
Well I'm a graduate student at ISU and have had student season tickets for the past 5 years, I think its worse now than its ever been (although this could be due to the high attendance). It seems to me there are some things the University could do to cut down on the stupid behaviour in the student section. for instance getting tough on students that are drunk to the point of puking ;they kicked about 5 people out sitting behind me then somehow they were back by the end of the 2nd quarter, right now they do very little to discourage students from getting ****-faced drunk and coming to the game. Don't get me wrong on this either I like to tailgate do a little drinking and have fun; and do before almost all home games. But I'm responsible with it and don't come in so drunk I'm going to end up puking on someone or falling onto someone and knocking them over. I don't think it is to much to ask that ISU should maybe put some tougher rules in place and enforce them, because right now it is kind of ridiculous.
I will call myself out. I may have thrown out a few obscenities from the stands before I remembered I wasn't in the student section. And then I left in the 2nd quarter because I was so fed up with what I saw on the field. First time I've ever left before halftime...
I am in about the same situation here. My wife had to remind me to watch my language... Not real proud of it, but people make mistakes.
