Ok, I have a question. Are visors considered hats? I was actually in the army and don't know, since when I was in the army I didn't wear visors at all.
This is in response of wearing hats in doors.

Berets, watch caps, visors, etc. are all considered hats.
Just don't wear headgear in the Memorial Student Center.

You can wear hats indoors, just not in the MSC just to clear that up. And yes, visors are considered hats. I mean, you can wear one and people probably won't get much grief about it. We just request people do it out of respect. ( Heck, sometimes you just forget you're wearing it out of habit.)

I don't think anyone faked injuries, they were the same cramping issues that the players had all game long and it was just a couple of guys in the second half. It is not like A&M was moving the ball anyway.

SEC/Florida Fans-How was Aggieland? You could have avoided the chastising by reading the copious amounts of strategically placed signs requesting that you not wear a hat in the MSC or walk on its grass. The door you walked through specifically says "no hats," and provides the reason why. I know you walked through such door because literally all of them say that. There are also signs all over the ~2 acres (at most) grass which kindly inform you not to walk on it.
Dude there was a lot of people coming in and out and I held the door for other people. Give me a freaking break and don't be snarky. I didn't mean to be disrespectful.

Exactly... Why would a player fake injury when it means they have to come off the field? In the first half we had several guys get hurt and a couple never came back. TAM drove the field on 3 possessions and UF didn't "have to" fake injuries.
UF didn't have any tape on TAM in the first half but in the 2nd half made adjustments to shut them down. You don't need to fake injuries when the offense is going 3 and out on every possession. TAMs defense was on the field so much in the 2nd half that they were worn flat out.
Quit whining and please quit booing injured players. Classless

I'd like to believe the cramping was legit, but if you check out T.O.P. the A&M defense was out on the field much more than the Florida D in the 2nd half. It was the same temperature for both teams. You'd think the A&M defense would be the ones cramping up considering our offense wasn't on the field much the 2nd half.
When we did start to make some plays the cramps happened. Unfortunately it looks suspect.
And for some added perspective Aggie fans are touchy on the subject because our players had been accused of the same thing last year.
One of those players was Von Miller during the Baylor game. Why would we have our best defensive player cramp up and miss a play? We wouldn't. That's ridiculous. Players cramp up sometimes because it's freakin' blazing hot and they're putting extreme wear on their muscles in 5-6 second bursts.
That said, I didn't boo any of the Florida players yesterday and I was disappointed that some of our fans did.
In response to the OP - I thought the 12th Man was pretty good. I wish it'd been a night game - there's just more energy. I know the heat and yelling made me woozy a few times. Having 40,000 at Midnight Yell was impressive. And Florida fans showed up in a big way - and made a fair amount of noise up at the top of the Zone too.

You're thinking of the OU game.

The thing about injuries, is you don't know for sure if they're faking or not. To assume anyone is faking, and subsequently boo, is classless. Sorry.
And I've always found it pretty ironic that Aggies get so butthurt about the MSC/grass, when those guys died to defend our rights to be free. They defend our rights to do things like burn flags. I'm GUESSING they'd think this de-facto "respect" takes away choice, which is not American IMO.

Just because you have the RIGHT to do something doesn't mean you should.

Fair enough.
People always complain about "not being able to wear hats" and the alleged "sacred grass" as if complying with the very simple rules regarding the very limited area is some kind of insurmountable, ambiguous feat.

To add to this subject about booing players who are down on the field and being attended to:
WHY in $#@^& would we have Shariff Floyd...one of the best DTs in the country fake an injury? We lost players in teh first half...Jelani Jenkins one of starting LBs, John Evans a starting safety collided with your rb who knocked the beejesus out of him (nothing dirty...just good old fashioned lower your pads and hit the tackler), but after Evans whiffed badly on tackling Manziel, it wasnt a huge loss. Fans should never boo opposing players down on the field and in the SEC when you do that it sends a message to the other team btw.
As for stadium design...not good. mid level seats are too far away from the field. Boom said on his Sunday tv show that we were not playing A&M next year...disappointed me..wanted yall to see a real venue thats LOUD. But Im glad A&M is in the SEC and it will be fun competing...better get your basketball teams ready too btw.

Von was cramping during both of those games. I recall clearly because BaylorFans was going Baylor Bold over it.

Or instead of distorting the issue, just show them the respect they deserve.
By your logic -- rather, your straw man approach -- the below organization is tolerable, and their efforts in demonstrating their "rights" shouldn't be deterred.

But as decent Americans, we can distinguish between free speech that exemplifies who we are and speech that abuses the right itself.
Please. Don't be so damn obtuse.

Not everyone is a decent person. Their freedom is no less protected by the Constitution of the United States. It's each person's right, as an American, to show respect how and when they choose.

You are absolutely free to wear a hat or walk on the grass or burn a flag. There are also a lot of people who are free to tell you that you are an a-hole for not respecting a memorial to thousands of men that died in war and the home of 7 CMH's. Freedom doesn't mean you get to be a jerk and other folks have to be quiet about it.
As I said though, 99% of the folks wearing a hat or walking on the grass simply have no clue. I certainly wouldn't know what is or what is not considered respectful if I walked around Gainesville. A lot of Ags need to chill out and not be jerks about it, simply ask people respectfully to honor the memorial.
I also don't approve of the booing but I understood it. It was very frustrating watching the "cramping" but the biggest problem was it worked in terms of helping to take our offense out of rhythm. Something A&M needs to overcome and certainly isn't why we lost though. UF just needs to coach their players to fake it better if they don't want to be booed. I don't know how much was on TV but at the stadium it was clear when it was faking.
