Make no mistake. Those of us that are actually there screaming for the Tigers know that it is not as bad as some TV announcers make it sound. Why the focus on a few empty seats when most of the place is full of fans having a roaring good time?
OL Grade -- I'd deduct a half a grade for the two absolutely stupid frickin penalites committed. There is absolutely no need to rip a guy's helmet off when the play is over.
Red, us out-of-staters are totally proud of the real fans and appreciate the help for the team. Wish I could join y'all on a regular basis!
Just come when you can. Let everyone here know about 4 or 5 months ahead and someone will help you scare up some tickets. Yankees and foreign guys drop by regularly wanting to do Tiger Stadium. Someone finds them tickets or invites them to a tailgate.
Ditto here. We do manage at least 1 game in Death Valley a season. If the tix drop another $25 or so there will be 8 of us at Vaught Hemingway this weekend. Decked out and screaming like banshees
I dont recall an OL penalty for ripping off a UF players helmet? I recall Rasco getting penalized for ripping a helmet off.
I thought it was during a run play, and there was a pile on, some of the lineman were pulling at Florida players to get them off of the running back. It was either Turner or Porter who ripped the helmet off. Unless I am mistaken...
I was meaning deducting half a grade from your grade posted. I would have just been a little less leniant thats all. And if I were a coach, that type of crap would not be accepted, at all. I'm just one of those guys who thinks players should do their job on the field and leave the celebration and extra curricular stuff for the sidelines or the locker room. It should be a "business as usual" atmosphere on the field and players should control their tempers. I believe at least one of those penalties took LSU out of field goal range on an important drive before the half, when Florida was getting the ball back in the second half.
