I lol'd at this.

I have several stories but nothing really major.

-06 tennessee game I was down by the hedges in front of our student section about to walk up to my seats and these like 40 year old UT fans are talking shite to the first few rows of our students. Well I had my liquor blanket on so I grabbed this guy's shoulder and spun him around movie style. He's a lot bigger than me and twice my age, I certainly wouldnt' have done this sober. So he's in my face and I'm talking crap back about different things he likes in his mouth or whatever and the cops break us up. Idk what they did with him but they grabbed my arm and kept walking me straight, through that east corner gate, up under the east stands, and straight out the back onto east campus road. First and only time in my life I've been kicked out of a game. BUT, of course I got back in.

-Lots and loooooooooots of shite talk in games. Pretty much every away game. Last year after AU scored I was on the front row of my section and this like 13 year old kid is celebrating and starts to walk across the aisle to leave and I knocked his hat off. I felt bad about that one though legitimately. Sorry kid.
-The only other time things almost got physical was after the 07 Auburn game. 2 of my good friends were in town from out of town, who are both just massive human beings. One of them was actually on roids at the time I believe, and the other played college football. This is in addition to my best friend, who is also a large person. So we're basically invincible. My bros basically told me "talk shite to whoever you want, we got this". So we're just walking around downtown and I am laying into EVERY auburn fan I see between the ages of 18-30. Doesn't matter what they're doing or who they're with, they're getting an earful. Eventually one group of a few college aged AU kids decides to get smart back so we're at the corner of college and washington kind of squaring up with each other, when I swear straight up movie style a group of like 6 or 7 of Athens minorities (I don't think these were students, they looked like creatures of the night that likely reside downtown) come stand with us. Well the battle lines were clear at that point so the AU fans left and we all high fived the other guys then we went to the closest bar and I think they started having a c-walk competition.

-Oh I forgot there was one time were it was actually physical. It was the 2010 tech game and it was the first and only time in my entire life I've ever hit someone. I still regret it, because that's no way to act. Anyways I was walking down baxter street to go into the game and I'm on the campus side and these tech fans are on the bookstore side. I'm talking crap because I mean it's tech and I'm drunk. So they're talking back and that's fine so we get to the bottom at lumpkin and this group of 3-4 come over to where me and a few others are. So we're jawing and we're all just kind of squared up and I don't know something just kinda snapped and I swung on one. I had done a few other extracurriculars beforehand that may have contributed. My knuckle got cut on his tooth and bled throughout the whole game...there's a picture of me online on that website where the young people walk around the stadium and take your picture and then give you a card to find it later with my hand wrapped up in a napkin and bleeding. I felt bad about that though, and I won't ever do that again.



But seriously though I am not a confrontational person, those are the outliers.
