So is anyone who beats Akron a jerk? You said the BSU fans came to sit in a UofA section and were crude... Turns out the vast majority of BSU fans sat together... behind their own team. Now a guy who very well may never play football again is a mouthy jerk?

As far as I know, the only people chirping at the Rubber Bowl were a group of three of us... and we all sat in General Admission around the 35 behind BSU's bench. By the way, that area was almost ENTIRELY BSU... That's the reason we were sitting there...The vast majority of the comments we said were directed at our own team. Hell, we were sitting back predicting the exact play Hoke would call for the majority of the second half because he randomly goes on riffs of conservative offense that is EXTREMELY frustrating and predictable to watch. Shoot we were doing the chirp, singing the fight song, and other assorted BSU-related things...Is that to say we didn't launch a comment or two at Akron? Of course we did. The cheerleaders spelled Akron wrong after yall scored a TD (it was spelled "Akorn"). And the people who left early obviously got an earful, and we do that at home games. BSU was one of the worst teams in the country three years ago, and I never left early. Hell, I didn't even leave when CMU throttled us last season.And for the record, we were really going at the fans wearing OSU gear because I think wearing that at another school's game is unacceptable. We deal with that bull at our games too except its both OSU and the festering pit that is Notre Dame (especially). Uh, we had an old lady say to get the "balls out of our mouth" after we sang the fight song... That doesn't mention the heckler that kept coming over to sit in our section for most of the first half, although I think he was eventually escorted out of the building. The classy thing falls on both sides like it does for any sporting event. Hell, if he was more adamant about getting the student section up in as he was about getting our section, yalls section would have been much more effective.Now I can only give what I knew was going on, but from what I could see.. The vast majority of BSU fans were in our section, and they were relatively quiet outside of maybe six or seven of us.And this is an unrelated note... Why are the Rowdies so freaking far away from the field and the team? I mean that doesn't make much sense to me. When BSU was god awful, at least the players could hear us being loud and excited because were were directly behind their bench. I always thought that it made the experience so much more enjoyable for them and for us... Hell, that's why we sat right behind them at the game yesterday. I'm unfamiliar with how prevalent putting the students that far away is, but as a student I certainly like being with the team more.Anyway, BSU has a long way to go to be anywhere close to where they want to be. Our defense was very lucky yesterday. We've been pretty good in the redzone, but our defense can't be letting teams get in there so often. I was relatively impressed with your offense despite the turnovers. BSU's picks mostly came off of tipped balls. The only thing that I couldn't understand was that your center almost always hike the ball high in to the QB. I don't know if that was rain-related or whatever, but it seemed like every other one went high. The Akron offense looked formidable though... Yesterday should have been a shootout.
