Do any of you have season ticket holders around you that always sell their seats every season, leading to random folks sitting in the seats every game?
Well, we have a group of these behind us. Have for years. So this past weekend the guy behind us was there with his buddy and their 2 kids. Clearly thought he was a knowledgable football guy and was going to teach his kid all about football and Alabama. Here are the doozies I heard throughout the game.
- Bray picks up punt after fair catching it, "Hey Tommy, watch, they are going to call a block in the back here. 10 yard penalty. Tough to see if you haven't watched a lot of games but I've seen it before". Officials call delay of game. "Wow, they got that one wrong. You can't have a delay of game on a punt. That's just not right"
- After Auburn extended the lead in the 3rd quarter "Tommy, gotta always have faith. Besides, this game isn't the important one. Next week is important. We can lose this game and still go to Atlanta. This game really doesn't matter" (very close to turning around and shoving ice cubes in his eyes at this point)
- When Ryan Anderson got hurt the dad said "Oh no, that will be a big loss" and the kid asked "Who was it who got hurt dad?" and the dad said "One of our good players on defense, one of the really good ones" and the kid said
"Which one?" and dad said "Uhhh one the good ones, they are all good, but we have other good ones to come in too" after telling his son all about how great our defensive line was and repeating as many clichés as possible.
- After Sims slips and falls on the 2 point conversion attempt and appears to twist his ankle "I would just take him out and rest him for next week since this game doesn't matter. We need him fresh for next week. I can't believe we have left him in this long"
- After we go up 19 "Tommy I'm just glad we got to bring you and you could experience this. This is the biggest game in college football."
In that light, please relay your own morons around you at games stories.

Guy behind me for our Auburn game was getting livid that our fans weren't making a lot of noise when we were on offense and Bo was under center.

That must have been recruitingjunkie sitting behind you.

A guy that sits behind my seats growing was the least satisfied human being ever. Probably would expect us to beat the Denver Broncos by two scores

You sound like the a-hole in this story.

I don't recall Auburn taking the lead in the 3rd quarter.

The row behind mine at JHS were "ebay" seats for at least 8 years. Never the same people, usually drunk and absolutely stupid.

My brother-in-law has 4 season tickets every year, which is how I was able to go this year. He sold me all 4 at face value. He hardly goes, but he doesn't put anyone in the seats that will bring him shame.

Guy 2 rows behind me at Western Carolina yelled "He gone" literally every time an Alabama player touched the ball.

If he's talking to his kid, it sounds fine. Most of that seemed like making sure his kid wasn't upset if Bama lost. I'd do the same with my kid. At the age where kids need football explained to them, they take the immediate problems very personally.

Some weirdo was sitting in front of me and my kid taking notes on everything I said.

This one is pretty random...so, one year after Auburn beat Alabama in the Iron Bowl and Alabama fan killed another Alabama fan because she wasn't upset enough over the loss.
Haha such a random story, figured I'd share.

Not football related, but similar. I was at the Masters one year and was watching Adam Scott warm up on the range when this woman and her husband in a UGA hat sit in the seats behind us. Ol' Scooter is just hitting some stock 9 iron shots at a flag that is probably 175 out. Clearly just aiming, not trying to hit the flag distance. The dumbass behind kept going on and on about how:
"Wow he is well short of that flag. He must have chunked it."
"Oh my goodness, he is not swinging well today. He is way short."
"I can't believe his caddy doesn't step in and club up for him. That's what I would do."
"He is not very good; he has yet to come near that flag."
"At this point he must be too embarrassed to change clubs. He should be anyway."
I so badly wanted to turn around and tell him to shut the frick up. We left just after but Scott shot in the 60's that day. I laughed to myself.

I got some moms(late 30ish)drunk on my bourbon one game, then went to a bar afterwards with them where one of them pulled a huge joint out of her bra back when I was a student at Bama. They said their husbands passed out at the fraternity house before the game or something.
Other than that the only morons I've encountered were either the olds telling you to sit down or the idiots that cheer when an opposing player gets hurt.
