Fess up - What are some of your "oh crap" moments that a fellow fan has done

I'm not talking about the famous ones, like the teabagging or Harvey. But we all have these moments - if not, you're one of "those guys" yourself.
Mine came from calling Finebaum when he was on XM Radio, and making a comment about how we take it too far sometimes (yes, WE, not THEY)...and I got ripped for the next hour by my own kind.
A close second is about 95% of the times that a Bama fan makes a political statement. It seems we may have a lot in common with football, but not much when it comes to politics.

You don't all like Guns and Jesus?

I'd love to have that conversation, but it's off topic and it wouldn't end well here.
The one good thing about the Dubose years is it thinned the herd. Those of us who stuck with the team after losing to Southern Miss 21-0 never had to question each other's loyalty, "sidewalk" or not.

Listening to the callers on the postgame show. Mouthbreathing idiots. Once we beat Kentucky like 42-0 and it was still a solid hour of people bitching.

Good one, Magilla. That one isn't specific to our fanbase or to football, but a very good example of, as we like to say in the South, being "eat up with the dumbass".

List eater was pretty bad. Other than that...everything corps of cadets. Great organization that does a lot of good, but not the best for PR.

I had the same experience listening after LSU beat Vandy 24-7.

Probably whenever Darkhorse or Coon posts. Especially the former.

There's a special place in hell for someone like this:
He turned in his man card, quietly and peacefully.

That's not that bad, but it WOULD come from Texas A&M. Talk about adding to that school's image.

A few years back we had some dude decide he would disrupt an LSU baseball game by running around nude in the outfield.
Thanks for the memories.

Wallace doesn't count because that whole thing was staged. He had already agreed to President Kennedy to let the black students in on the condition that he could make a statement and show his dissatisfaction with the whole situation. It was merely a stunt to impress racist voters in Alabama and to launch his national ambitions.

Literally every time Jim from Crestwood gets on Finebaum.

Oh and PAWWWULLLLLLLL

"The Man Who Shut Down Hartsfield"
The horrific images of commercial airliners exploding into the World Trade
Center's towers were still raw in the national soul when a Gainesville bank
officer and University of Georgia football fan made an impulsive decision
that shut down the world's busiest airport.
Just two months after the terrorist attacks, Shane Lasseter charged down the
up escalator at Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport,
breaching security as he tried to make a flight for an out-of-town game.
Hartsfield --- as it was named then --- shut down for three hours that
Friday, Nov. 16, 2001. Hundreds of flights along the Eastern Seaboard were
canceled or delayed. Traffic on I-85 came to a standstill. Hundreds of
travelers bound for the airport on MARTA were halted at the College Park
rail station.
The airport's giant terminal was evacuated and passengers swarmed in
frustration around entrances under guard by camouflage-clad National Guard
members. Wild tales circulated: someone had tried to smuggle a gun aboard a
plane; Osama bin Laden's terrorists were running amok through the airport.
Instead, the culprit turned out to be a neighborly, church-going husband and
father --- "just a little guy from North Georgia," a chagrined and regretful
Lasseter told reporters a week later. He said he was bound for a Georgia
Bulldogs game in Oxford, Miss., when he left the secure area. On his way
back to his departure gate, he bypassed the security checkpoint, ignoring
guards who shouted for him to stop.
Officials issued a Code Orange alert.
Lasseter was arrested that evening as he was trying to book another flight.
Later, he apologized to everyone affected by his mad dash. " I deeply regret
the inconvenience to a number of people," he said.
In March 2002, he pleaded guilty in Clayton County State Court to two counts
of misdemeanor criminal trespass. He was sentenced to five weekends in the
county jail, 500 hours of community service and a year's probation. The
judge barred him from attending any UGA football games in the 2002 season.
Ed Tolley, an Athens attorney who represented Lasseter, said he resigned
from Gainesville Bank and Trust after entering his guilty plea. Neighbors
say Lasseter, now 37, works at another branch bank.
Tolley said Lasseter panicked because he left his then-6-year-old son with
the boy's uncle at the departure gate while he returned to the lobby to
retrieve his camera bag.
"He had left his ticket at the gate in a travel bag; that's why he could not
get back through security," the attorney said. Lasseter, who completed his
probation in 2003, did not return calls last week from the
Journal-Constitution.
Former Clayton County Solicitor Keith Martin, in a recent interview,
justified the airport shutdown and the prosecution of Lasseter.
"You have to wonder what would have happened if the police and (airport
manager Ben) DeCosta had not evacuated, and something horrible occurred," he
said.
Martin said something good might have come from Lasseter's wild run. "We owe
him a debt of gratitude," Martin said. "I think he, and we all, have learned
a lesson, I hope we don't forget."
