Went to the game yesterday with the wife, who is a State grad. Sat in a section of a few hundred NCSU fans and maybe 4 other Hokies. Two of those Hokies were guys that looked student aged, or thereabouts. Throughout the game they would stand up (completely alone) and hold 3 fingers up whenever a three went up for us. And if it went in would celebrate. Of course they sat quickly on a miss. On about the 5th 3, they started turning around to the State fans around us holding up the 3 fingers. The whole section was a completely seated section of just routine State fans, so they stood out like a sore thumb to all. Behavior well suited to the student section at the Cassell, but to me, I keep it low key as a visitor. Well……During the stretch were Tech pulled ahead at the end, they did/said something that got 2-3 grown adult State fans (including someone their Grandma’s age) to be SUPER angry, stand and start yelling back, saying “cheer for your team but don’t effin (unintelligible)…….” I think the young men might have realized they had gone too far, not sure, because they were back seated arguing to just watch the game. But it was too late. The State fans called for the usher, who came and promptly threw them out. They seemed to take this as a badge of honor as on the way out, they just said, “SCOREBOARD!” to the usher and everyone else. This morning as I reflected on it, I kind of wished I had gone and spoken to them early in the game about staying classy, being a gracious guest, and reading the room. I wonder what I would have said. They sat about 5 rows directly in front of me. What would you have done? Dispensed advice? If so, what would you say? And at what point? Quietly wished they would stop embarrassing you and your University? Join in?
