Students are bad and stupid and rude and stupid. Apparently.
Unfortunately, we saw very little of the game due to the rude behavior of the students in front of us. Not only were they standing the entire game, but we also had to subject ourselves to such a show of muscle-flexing and booty-shaking that we could have sworn we’d landed in Las Vegas.
Uh, muscle-flexing and booty-shaking? Is there really a problem with guys conducting posedowns in the bleachers?
Later, the Collegian identified him as Daniel Jacobs (Junior - Philosophy)
The other weird story from Blue/White seems to be the Port-O-Potty issue:
Despite an increase in portable toilets at Beaver Stadium for Saturday’s Blue/ White game, 31 people, including nine women, were cited by Penn State police for urinating in public.
Mark Bodenschatz, associate athletic director for facilities, said the university placed 155 portable toilets around Beaver Stadium — an increase of about 20 percent from the 125 toilets rented for last year’s game.
…
Bodenschatz attributed the weekend’s public urination to the public drunkenness incidents in the tailgating area, rather than lack of toilets.
“Don’t those two things go hand in hand?” he said.
Well, yeah. I always find a stunning lack of available toilets after drinking for five hours. Funny how that works. Supposedly, police were following people into wooded areas and arresting them for public urination. In the woods! Haven’t any of these creeps ever been to a golf course?
Still, have you ever looked around the parking lots on a gameday and thought “well, those port-o-potties certainly don’t look like they’re about to explode at any given moment!”? I mean, ever? It’s also a little weak for Penn State officials to rag on people for not cleaning up their trash. Yes, it’s a team effort, but every available garbage can is always overflowing on gamedays. It’s disgraceful on both ends. People need to clean up after themselves, but they have to be given an opportunity to throw stuff away in a proper place.
The #1 threat to America? Garbage bears.
(JB has more on this, by the way)
That dude looks like TS back in the day…all kinds of jacked up.
On one hand I sympathize with the alumni. They are with their kids and aren’t going to be forced into standing just to watch a spring scrimmage. On the other hand, I’ve been relegated to the non-student section for the Iowa 6-4 game and boy were the alumni quiet. It was the 6-4 so every defensive stop mattered if we had a chance to pull that one out. Yet the alumni gawked at us as if we were rooting for the other team. We simply stood on defense and did the noise thing to try to make it hard for the other team to call plays on the field. So I understand where these alumni who wrote in were coming from, but on the second hand if you aren’t willing to participate and enjoy what the football experience brings, then why not leave those tickets for students and just stay home and watch it on the Big Ten network?
Sure, we don’t toss Grammsy into the air after every score but we get just as many false starts and time outs in the North endzone - even with the away fans right there! - The East stands are where the real fans sit.
Sho’nuff, STL.
The problem is that it’s complete amateur hour for the Blue White game. Too many idiots spending the day drinking in the sun, and what’s worse is they let them park near me. At least during regular season games, the j.v. has to park out near the hospital.
Oh, and if you stand for the whole B/W game and THEN give some parents with little kids a hard time about it, you’re a total retard in need of better hobbies…and probably a beating.
Who’s the master?
This is what happens when you don’t drink hard during the offseason.
Heck, I brought a bottle of Jim Beam in with me….darn rookies…can’t hold their liquor
Am I the baddest?
SHO’NUFF!
We had problems with people standing in the exterior concourse. Had they opened the North stands, like they used to when I was a student, there wouldn’t have been a problem.
