That's their fricking choice too and they need to live with it. Very few will ever lead their men in to battle. I did the same fricking thing but have actually been in BATTLES as a medic in a route clearance company in 2010. Yeah, I haven't had the same college experience either, it's taken 2 and half years of my time with training and deployment but will graduate in 7 semesters. That was my choice.


Yep... hostility for sure.

Did some a-hole officer frick your girlfriend or something?

Yes, I do realize that. Like I said, I just say do nothing. I am not going to boo, I just find it hard to cheer for any other team but the Gamecocks. And I will gladly shake their hand and tell them thank you on the street.


hopefully the rest of the cock fans follow your lead.

My father did this very job. Don't boo a service academy team. You should destroy them during the actual game. That should be enough of an "experience" for your team.

Just wondering where you seperate the game and your patriotic spirit.


Between the kickoff and the final play of the game.

Applaud.


After an Air Force and UNLV game the Drum and Bugle Corps played in the end zone for the fans leaving. Some dumb arse UNLV fans in the stands were throwing every vulgar insult imaginable at them.

Nope, just don't think players on service academies should be viewed as audie murphy. There are many more doing so much more right now and will go through just as much shite or more than those players.

Ahhh, I see.

So now we're determining how much respect a service member should get on the subjective level of "shite" one goes through?

Should a guy who has a limp for the rest of his life because he got shot in the leg receive LESS respect than the guy who got his leg blown off by a mine?

Where do I find this subjective and relative "level of shite" scale you seem to be depending on?

Do go by the recruiting offices and boo new recruits? They aren't service members yet so they are probably free game too.

You are right. All Carolina fans are completely classless.

I simply asked what everyone would do, then stated what I thought. To say we have no class is ridiculous.

If it was a team that had a pretty good chance of beating you I say do neither, but really? It's Navy, I'm hoping SC can beat them. I had a couple buddies go into army, navy, and air force for sports and going in they know it's most likely the end of the road for sports cause they usually won't let you go professional once you sign that contract, they went in to play for a couple years then serve their country.

At least a clap or two
