The Tech fans are sadly very similar to Hok fans. Nothing should be thrown on the field, ever.

Against Arizona state they basically rang them non stop when ASU had the ball.
They were not followed for the ASU game. The rules are set by the SEC with a fine as the penalty. You think they’re going to fine them for a non-conference game? The rules need to be set by the NCAA with penalties in the game (delay of game), not fines later on by an entity that has an incentive to let MSU have an advantage.
I can only speak to the game I attended, and to what my granddaughter told me. I didn't watch the ASU game.
The sound on the broadcast for the ASU-MSU game was the most bizarre thing I've ever heard. Sounded like a game-long technical issue.
Bush league stuff, shouldn't be allowed in any game.

It died because people started to realize it's never going to happen. With Walden after the first quarter of the first game it was better to eat the oranges.
It’s on par with painting the opposing teams locker room all pink because “it makes them calm and seduded” and for underlying misogynistic reasons.
I recall a lot of oranges being thrown ironically when ISU had some very bad teams...
...or maybe that is sarcastically.
The league needs to fine TT if any are thrown onto the field the moment the game starts, also the officials tell them before the game, if one is thrown onto the field after it has started, its a 15 yard penalty, and we will charge you a penalty every time it happens after that, and the refs are looking for them.
If Leipold lied about the pocket knife, then I don't disagree with the fine.
In 1981 ISU started the conference season 2-0-1 with a tie against top ten Oklahoma and a win against top ten Missouri. There were oranges being thrown on the field at the time. We lost the last four conference games, scoring a total of 32 points in those games. That's why many of us old-timers don't get too excited when we start a season 5-0 like we did this year.
I think the Big XII needs to explain their position on the "inaccurate statement regarding a pocketknife." Maybe Leipold lied about it, but it sure seemed like there was a pocketknife somewhere based on what he said after the game.
What can't happen is the Big XII start protecting Tech from any and all criticism (see Horns Down) just because they are currently the best football team in the conference.
During the ISU game at TT in 2021, the students behind the ISU bench were removed and had to find somewhere else to sit or leave the stadium.
I think actually throwing stuff on the field is much worse than lying about it.
