People are going to use bad language at games... parent your own kids.
A message to our fans in attendance yesterday..
- Thread starter CysRage
- Start date
I can stay calm 95% of the time, and I NEVER swear, I hate swearing. But on that goal line situation I yelled after a few of those plays "What are we doing? Go under center and sneak it!!". I certainly don't think that offended anyone.
And I will say, most people in my section were yelling the same thing and many were even booing (our coaches, not the players) after those series of 4 downs.

The downside could end up hurting attendance.
At what point do we say the stadium security needs to be improved? I've never been back to Dodger Stadium after a rough night.
How soon until that happens at JTS? Are we close?
Messing at all with tailgaiting will destroy attendance at games.
Section W Row 29, had a large group in the last row stuffed into and spilling over the surrounding fans directly behind me. Bitched on every play I mean every play, even the safety they bitched. After they bitched about the safety I turned to my son and said from now on I'm going to yell **** constantly at your B-Ball games that obviously show I know little to nothing about sports. He laughed, they were unfazed.
Screechy woman in the group that had no ******* clue repeatedly pierced my left ear from like 2 and a half feet, (Park had a scrabble for a first down where he used a side step to skirt a defender the went out of bounds near midfield on the KState side, she yelled learn how to run) mid third quarter I pointed my face to the sky and said they can't hear you!
Defensively they had a bug up their ass for Tucker but had no concept of how slow our LBs expose us.
Look it frustrates me too but these are the same people that will be ******** in a couple years on a 10 win season about the Oklahoma game. Seriously STFU and give the man time to fix the hand he was dealt or just stay home!
I'm going to blame millennials and Obama for everything, all of it. Except for that goal line sequence, gotta pop that baby outside at least once, I'll blame that one on Sweet Caroline or the student section.
Paul Chryst is a coach, not a player.

Not messing with tailgates, but getting more active with knuckleheads.
How long until someone gets seriously injured in the parking lot? Is there anything that would hurt the tailgate atmosphere more than a Bryan Stow situation?
JTS is awesome. Hope we can keep it that way
Yes direct your hate on the message board and NOT on the appropriate person who is actually being an ass hole. That should help.
Fans that thought we would win more than 2-3 this year are clueless. What Big 12 game are we not completely overmatched going into besides KU? I can't really be upset with Campbell and his staff for this year. I think they are doing a good job. Had Rhoads stayed longer, i honestly thought it was only a matter of time he was taking us 0-12.
Agree with OP. Some of the things directed at our coaches and 18-21 YO student athletes is ridiculous. How demoralizing for them to work their asses off and have people yell YOU SUCK. Can you imagine how a recruit sitting at a game feels hearing this crap. I think Campbell is doing a good job he does not have a lot to work with. As for the goal line situation yeah probably should have QB sneaked it but the 4th down call was brilliant, Park had an easy throw to make or could have walked in, unfortunately he did neither.
People yell crap at coaches and players who cannot possibly hear them. Not sure of the point. Maybe point is annoy others.
Our section was fine except little **** teenage K-State fan. His dad kept trying to control the jerk. Kid went nuts when Park blew the short pass in the end zone, laughing and yelling "you suck." Then when they had the safety, he had a tirade and threw out a bunch of f-bombs. Cyclone fans in front of them had two toddlers.

That guy in section 7 may not read this but that guy in any of the other sections might and reevaluate their behavior
A football game is a public event where parents bring their kids. Some parents still teach their young children that swearing is wrong and not the right way to express anger. As an adult who doesn't bring kids, I would rather not hear obsenities by fans around me.
Maybe if you can't control your temper and act with class in public, you should stay at home. Then again, maybe your spouse/girlfriend and any potential kids would rather have you not around when you are yelling obscenities at a TV set.
Wait till they start selling beer at the games. There will be even more drunk idiots. It will happen some day because the administration cannot avoid the temptation of the huge revenue stream.
The happy medium is fans can YELL LIKE HELL in support or criticism without swearing or using God or Jesus Christ's name in vain. I think most people understand the need to behave to a higher level in public than maybe at home.
This is accurate. As an Iowa fan I've been very disappointed at all of the cracking down the University has done on the tailgating scene. It no doubt is a part of the reduction in season tickets sold. In this day and age you will often hear the "I'd rather watch the game from the comfort of my couch with my bathroom nearby, etc." and I totally get that, BUT the tailgating scene isn't something that can be replicated at home. A lot of fans love tailgating and getting to spend time with family and friends so anything that hurts people's ability to do that is going to have a negative impact.
Be careful what you ask for. ISU football still exists as a power5 program because those fans still purchase tickets despite decades of ISU football giving them the finger.
I control myself just fine at games. I also recognize that not all people do and I know what to expect. Have you ever been to a professional baseball game, NFL? Passionate fans sometimes curse, that will not change anytime soon. If you want to teach your kids, use "that guy" as an example of how not to act in public. Do some parenting on your own instead of expecting everyone to be perfect role model for your kids.
