Gotta Get This Off The Chest

[puc86]

Why are all of these people standing at Ray Jay? Do they not know about the chairs?

Because they’re from Pittsburgh. Standing counts as your cardio for the week.

Standing and waving a towel over your head definitely seems like cardio to me. The whole game just seemed to have a whole lot of standing.

Sticks in the mud will not be talked out of being sticks in the mud. It is why I try to avoid standing too much due to the quickness with which the worst few will complain to TSA the most loudly about it, why I politely oblige the folks nearby when they ask us to keep it down since yelling makes them develop "migraines" (as though my group's cheering is the sole cause at a football game), and why I don't make a fuss when someone says that slapping high fives around them sets off their epilepsy and asks it to be reduced. Yep, all of those and more have happened in the past 2 years at home USF games. 

If any of that sounds like a massive load of hogwash, you're preachin' to the choir. 

Then I go to other football games across the country and watch the unity with which huge numbers of people cheer in unison, and I am both awestruck and also hopeful that USF will be there someday and that I'll be around to see it.

It’s just nice that people can come to our games and expect a nice peaceful environment free of any cheering, loud noises, excitement, standing or having fun of any kind.

What if Tampa is home to a more cultured set of fans that have more fun sitting?

Is cultured a euphemism for crappy? It’s not an Oprah.

No one on earth considers Tampa to be cultured or to have even decent sports fans. The Rays can attract Boston and New York fans, the Bucs have more buzz than they have had since they won the Super Bowl and Ray Jay looked like Heinz Field and our games have that same zeitgeist found at the trop that makes it so popular amoung sports fans. Sports are supposed to be fun, Tampa Bay, not fun.

But are Oprah fans having fun?
