Went to aggieland outfitters this weekend and got asked 4 times in 15 minutes if I needed help. Was annoying, but they obviously are taught that for customer service purposes. LOL to turn that into a race issue (I'm white so maybe my privilege is clouding my judgement here). VICE is such a garbage website.

For the UCLA game, I was sitting in the nose bleads in the SEZ a section or 2 away from the student section up there.

After the 4th down conversion failed, I was celebrating like everybody else and a water bottle came flying down next to me. I looked up and saw half a dozen objects flying in the air. They weren't throwing them up in the air...they were throwing them toward the field and throwing them hard.

I couldn't pinpoint who was doing it, but it was coming from the student section.

Not to be an Internet badass, but if I ever see an Aggie celebrating that way again inside a crowded Kyle Field, I'm going to run over to them and punch them in their face.

Am I following this correctly? This person is saying that someone in the deck above them was targeting the PV fans by spitting on them? How can you spit that far up and hit your "target"? I'm not saying that someone didn't get hit (I wasn't there) but I don't see how someone can be skilled enough to be able to constantly spit that far away and hit the same "target" multiple times.

With that being said, if someone was spitting and throwing liquid, they do need a ban. Regardless if they were targeting a specific person - that kind of crap doesn't fly with me.

---

If the spit was coming from the deck (as you pointed out) above them, then the people spitting would be spitting down onto them, not up.

---

I understand that part. I guess I should've worded my post a little differently.
How can you spit FROM that far up and hit your "target".

Bet you won't take it to the parking lot, tough guy.

The video is just highlighting racial insecurity. Equal treatment is viewed as racism.

I was going to say this. The video shows perception. Although it is a very small sample size it brings up a good point.

So you're saying that the spit could not have come from above ... that there had to have been

a second spitter.

2 Stories: Back in 1970s when I was a kid my family always went to the LSU games @ Tiger Stadium. We won in 1970 & the amount of crap that came flying down during that game was incredible. A man sitting close to us got clocked in the head with a Jack bottle. Bloody mess in our section. Typical for that game & the series in general. Fast forward to when we had season tickets on the first row of the 3rd deck on the West side. People used to put drinks on the ledge/rail all the time. It was almost inevitable that something would be knocked off when someone was working their way to the aisle.... and it usually happened once or twice a season. Never intentional for sure, but the result was the same.

Not condoning this incident & I would hope that anyone close by would report it & get the offender escorted out which looks like what happened here.

Poo happens.

Okay one person can't cause everyone to be a racist. I'm black and went to A&M.. Played Football and Ran Track. I tell you one thing. Spitting is the ultimate disrespect. It pissed me off when I red the post. I actually had friends that went to PV and were at the game. It didn't happen to them. If it did it would have been front page news.

This can't happen at any stadium. I wen't to Miami and their fans were pretty damn bad. People know the difference between spit and a lemon chill. Whoever it was needs to be banned from all games and if their a student expelled. This isn't what Aggies do. As far as race baiting like others have mentioned who knows, but I'll be first to say. Keep your spit in your mouth or swallow it. That's the ultimate disrespect.

Back in 2005 we left Hawaii for 2.5 years as I pursued a Master's degree at Appalachian State (I was there for three consecutive NC's and the Michigan win).

My last year I had a class where we had to participate in community service with a social/cultural/ethnic/minority, group to gain experience (there's just not a lot of diversity in the mountains of North Carolina).

My black classmate volunteered at The Children's Playhouse (had to look it up to confirm the age group of the children), which has programs for for ages 1-8, and my 3-year-old was attending at the time.

At the end of the semester we had to report on our experience. The very first thing my classmate said at the start of his presentation about working with little children was, and I quote:

quote:

---

I expected to be treated differently because I'm black.

---

I've never forgotten that and have come to believe this confirmatory bias, which has legitimate root in our nation's history and at one time was a useful response to maintain one's safety, is probably common in much of black America and "triggering" racist perceptions where none now exist.

Again, not that racism doesn't exist, but every interaction is perceived through the lense of "I expect to be treated differently because I'm black."

In this particular instance I think the dude who made that post is a professional victim and hash tagging attention who**

When I first read this thread, my thought was... T-shirt fans. I've been to going to A&M football games for 35 years as a kid, then student and now former student and have never witnessed shenanigans like this. It occurred me lately that we have fought for relevance and then dominance in the state and nation for our program but unfortunately notoriety comes at a cost.

I like to make fun of 'bama's 85% and all the t.u. fans with degrees from texas state and sam houston, however with our expansion of power we run the risk of inheriting some jackass T-shirt fans too. We have got to police our own (whether they are students or former students or not) and make sure that the ne'er-do-wells who try and besmirch our reputation understand that such nonsense will not be tolerated.

Whoever it was needs to know this doesn't happen here.

My father taught me that if you go looking for trouble or something to confirm your bias...it will always be there for you

Won't need to. I'll knock them out right then and there.
