I was sitting on the former student side and swapped seats with my family at half. A young man behind me asked if I could sit down as he could not see. I told him, "Uh, No.". Couldn't believe it.
Don't complain about the old AGS sitting down and not yelling; I'm definitely not one of those.

He could stand up and yell if he really wanted to see.

What a d*ck. Standing is a student thing. I agree yelling is for everyone but sitting is perfectly acceptable after you graduate. Yell your lungs out but don't constantly stand up if you aren't in the student section.

All of the pulled tickets for this game said "no standing".

bmbrooking, many older folks can't stand for three+ hours. If you want to stand the whole game, get a student ticket.

I am sure OP thought he would get props for yelling at a kid that asked him to sit. OP is a bad ag.

There have been enough of these threads over the years that I have a hard time believing this actually happened.

This is a jerk move. I have been dealing with a season ticket holder for several years who thinks it is okay to be the only one standing constantly in an
alumni section. I watched him put his butt in the face of an elderly lady for an entire half before she finally left. Standing for good plays and a close series is one thing. Standing in front of others who can't stand for 3+ hours thinking you are being a "good Aggie" is not okay!

Good for you.

I had season tix for 20 yrs from 93-2012. For the first few years, I could barely afford them even tho it was a relative bargain then. 1st deck North end 25th row. Our section rarely sat and was loud.

No one would ever have even thought of asking someone to sit. In fact, it was common to wait in the tunnel and make a dash to your seats between plays. If you didn't make it, you stood in the aisle and waited till the next play was over.

This was the kind of respect we had for fellow Ags.

Now, ya'll want the olds to yell, but you can't be bothered to stand?

Do what the section does. If everyone stands, then stand. If everyone sits, then sit. Don't be a Richard.

If you don't have eligibility left…perhaps it becomes more appropriate to sit…

I gave up my piss head privileges when I graduated and sat down so those behind me could see. And, no I don't yell like wild Hyenas, I graduated, you must not have!

No it's okay. He has a bunch of ag tags and accolades next to his name. He's better than the rest of us.

Former students can't go into the game so there is no symbolism in standing in their sections….

Well I guess I've been wrong for 45 years to stand, yell and support my Aggies... I don't stand the whole game, but for a tu game that hadn't been played for 13 of those years, I will be up and yelling. I guess you are saying I should be one of those old ags that sits quietly and watches the game.... Not going to do that.

I'm with you OP. Don't listen to all of the haters and the losers of which there are many.

Are you really not bright enough to realize that not everyone can stand for the entire game (or wants to stand the entire game)? If you stand, you ruin the view for those behind you. You think that is OK?

You wouldn't find it annoying if the guy in front of you stood up for an entire concert or professional baseball game?

No one said you have to be quiet (though fans can be annoying when they constantly yell stuff). How about just act similar to those around you?

This thread seems like a bunch of sips berating someone for daring to support the team. No indication the person some decided was a kid was not able bodied.

It's simple, you bought the ticket, stand when you want. But if no one in front of you is standing, might want to sit, it's a courtesy.

If I wanted to watch a game or concert for that matter and stay seated the whole time I certainly would not go. If I went I would not ask people in front of me to not stand. If I did I would not expect a kind response.

OP, what are you doing to support the team for the bowl game, drowning kittens?

OP needs to be reported to campus police immediately.

Absolute menace to Kyle Field.
