A few years ago my wife and I took a trip to Florida to watch texas and Florida play, two other teams were also there. So the wife and I were sitting with 3 or 4 texas fans among 4 or 5000 Florida fans. I am a loud fan cheering texas on with all my worth when a little lady about our age, seventy, turned and told me to shut up. I didn't and she moved. Shortly after that, another younger lady called the? monitors and wanted to remove us. With the help, of another Texas fan, from North Carolina, stood up for us and told the monitors to go away. They did. We had a wonderful time even though Florida kicked our butts.

At Nebraska’s match in Minneapolis last year, I had an interesting encounter. When Minnesota would serve, I would occasionally yell, “Side out Huskers.” The fact that the crowd was generally quiet combined with the fact that I have a loudmouth made my voice pretty easy to hear. After having done that three or four times, a gentleman a few rows in front of me stood up, turned around and screamed at me, “HAVE A LITTLE CLASS!” The other Minnesota fans in the area were as shocked as I was. I didn’t respond although on the way out I did stop and tell him he could cheer his loudly as he wanted if he ever came to Lincoln. Keep in mind, this was not an accurate representation of Minnesota fans as a whole.

In Alaska, we are used to thuggish, ruffian-like behavior (it gets cold and dark much of the year; bars fill up daily: you do the math). BUT, PSU fans, at the 2018 Stanford Regional Final, were some of the worst I have ever seen on TV. In the other team's home arena, no less! Now I realize that it was not technically a Stanford home match, and yet: "some class"?

The home fans turn the place mausoleum quiet, perfect for a not-shy visiting fan to provide "helpful" instruction to the player on how to shoot it. Sorry for the hoops reference, back to the regular scheduled VT programming...

I don't have any arena stories because I actually don't go to arenas to watch live sports.

It's easy to point fingers at those not in the room, but PSU fans, when they were here, took the worst fans' award hands-down. Far worse than Texas and NE combined. That's why they are all gone!

I still can't believe you killed Obi-Wan like that. Have someone cut your legs and arms off and watch the flesh burn off your body before walking away and let me know how you would handle it But I bet your dumbass doesn't try to attack someone who has the high ground anymore, does it? Sometimes, people just gotta learn the hard way.

I know some of y'all like Star Wars lore and all, but that scene between Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi in Star Wars III: The Revenge of the Sith was one of the worst climactic scenes ever.

When I read this weird thing, that was my first take too! Ya beat me to it! SB: 1; SM: 0.

i read the whole thread about the 2018 vt all villain team. pretty impressive, so far you have been nice to me besides calling me a doofus, but that makes me laugh all the time because only my grandpa says the word doofus. My wife uses the word doofus a lot; but she is probably as old or older than your grandpa! GO HUSKERS He is 75 and kicking it
