I was a dope smoking stoner when I was young enough to join the military, so I didn't.

I have taken my brother enough to VA clinic appointments, though, that I would not argue with you. At least, you military guys have a camaraderie unlike anything I have ever experienced, and regardless of branch, line of duty, age, or whatever else.

My hat's off to you fellows.

We should segregate the stadium to students/alums and non alums

IMHO

Laughing,pitiful. We just need a sign that says Snobby Assholes this way for you pinky raised tea sipping types. Most of you probably vote Democrat or at best you're RINOS.

My team doesn’t have many t-shirt fans (our version of “sidewalkers”).
Our traditions and ways are so esoteric, most people who didn’t matriculate at our university find it far too enigmatic for bandwagoning ... if they didn’t experience it, they don’t get it (which I completely understand).

That said, I don’t have any problem with non-Aggie Ring wearing folks supporting Texas A&M University, provided they aren’t ugly and obnoxious when they do.

A&M will always have the lgbt group as sidewalk fans.

You’re a funny guy.

Actually, we don’t draw those students by default.
The school in ATX attracts those kids, which is mostly due to false information.
We’re very welcoming to most; we’ve just gotten a bad rap re: LQBTQ issues over the years.

Indeed.

Auburn doesn't have many sidewalk fans either because Alabama is so successful comparatively-speaking.

Sorry, I don't get the sidewalkers. If I didn't go to Auburn then I'd probably only follow pro teams.

I'm pretty sure big schools can survive less than 10 percent of their athletic revenue being taken away. TV is oversold as a revenue stream. The gate makes far more for schools. TV money is nothing more than bonus money for large ADs.

Smaller schools would be hurt but big schools wouldn't feel it.

YWFMS

You should hear the war stories KSG and I have from back in the day. Crazy stories baw.

And to address the OP
quote:

Then there’s the other type of “fan”. Let’s take a moment to address this plague that affects all of our schools. 

That embarrassing fan who makes an arse of himself in public while proudly brandishing your school’s hat and t-shirt he bought from Wally World but couldn’t find his way around campus if he ever wandered on to its grounds. 

That drunkard who verbally accosts and harasses visiting fans of opposing teams at tailgate in your alma mater’s name. 

The idiot who trolls incessitently on the Rant despite never having spent a semester at your school. 

We all have them, even Vandy, do you think the Whistlers actually went there? 


This is me sadly for Arkansas. I hope my fellow fans know I mean no disrespect.

Alabama Athletics in total year 2017 reported 174.3 million dollars in revenue and when the bills were all paid a 15.6 million profit. We all know football pays most of the bills

Let's say you run off the sidewalkers and there's no media interest..kiss 43.9 mill goodbye which exceeded contributions by 10 million over the past year.

Don't forget the tax laws they are a changing and you won't be able to write those contributions off anymore snobs, so that amount might just be shrinking. I wasn't able to find income from the rights to trademarks (hats t shirts etc)so you'd lose a little more.
