The single reason I liked playing the sips was that their girlfriends would, without fail, show up and make asses of themselves.
Heckling other fans is usually frowned upon, but those cleat chasers always managed to deserve it

Same thing happened two years ago against Arkansas. Somebody invited the Akry GFs to sit with us. They lasted a half inning.

And their travelling fans had good beer and other beverages. When we would play in CS, somehow we always ended up drinking at their monstrosity of a RV. Dont know who they were, but they always offered us free beer, and we always obliged.

We got in trouble.

Someone (who will remain nameless) brought in a large box of twinkles for their 5'10"/260lb first baseman and heckled him relentlessly while he was batting....well Whelan security decided to send 5 supervisors over to lecture us on how we need to be more responsible. I suppose crossing the line is cutting into Levy's profits.

They now posted a permanent supervisor in front of us watching and listening to everything we do.

It's a VERY sad day when a Texas A&M baseball game is significantly more strict than a Major League Baseball game....Just let that sink in for a minute...I can bring dinner for 5 to an Astros game, but (someone who will remain nameless) can't bring a Twinkie?

Thank you guys for letting us know. Those of us that can will start working back channels to get you relief. Don't know if we can but we'll give it a go. Good on you for the attempt!

We always brought in a ton of grape juice for the tu series to taunt Augie for his DUI. Sad to know food based taunts ate forbidden now....

Post-game update...it all stemmed from an ACU parent who was upset that we taunted someone's physical appearance because they "Can't help how they look."

Seriously? It's not like you were making fun of a birth defect.

I mean, we make fun of skinny little guys who can't bat their weight as well.

There was an Aggie who wasn't too thrilled as well.

So the guy's a Macklemore knockoff with the mustache of a 13 year old. Shave that sandy moss on your upper lip before you go all SJW at a baseball game.

Ridiculous. Whoever at Whelan thought it was a good idea needs to be reassigned, because they obviously aren't capable of functioning in that environment. Seriously. We can't have idiots like that have a negative impact on Olsen.

I'm with country. I'll see what I can do. Probably not much, but I will try.

And although the turnout was pretty low across the board last night, the Raggies that were there did themselves proud. Good job folks. Those of us down low do hear you and support you.

Email sent to the Athletic Director. We shall see if it does any good. I'll post his response if I get one.

Ha, like the player could see the individual twinkies from way down on the field and get upset about it. Let the hecklers have their fun. It's not like y'all were throwing them down on the field.

This seems to be an annual thing... ushers randomly deciding to throw their weight around. It usually takes a quick word with their supervisors to fix it, but it would happen the very next year, and always mid-season. Go figure.

She did...until whoever in the AD decided it was a smart idea to move the opposing team's parent's next to us at the same time they contracted out the security (to the same company that lost Tom Brady's jersey) at the same time A&M decided to go all in with the "full inclusion of everyone's feelings" philosophy.

I would argue that full inclusion of everyone's feelings should include the feelings of those who enjoy ragging on the other team. While it is their prerogative to have their feelings hurt, it should be your prerogative to hurt their feelings.

Everyone equal, right?

I'm convinced that moving visiting parents to the student side is ultimately to have a justification for eventually moving the students out of the main seating.

I mean, when the guys teammates are getting a laugh out of it, other Ags can get over it.

Nah, the offended > the non offended. Which makes me offended.

Man, if this guy was mad about twinkies, I can't imagine how he would have reacted to this:

There's no room in Student Section. Old Ags get there early and fill up so New Army is pushed onto grass

Sounds like New Army needs to get off their asses and get to the game earlier.

Pretty sad when your complaint is that old people are faster than you.

If you can't get there early while old Ags who likely work full time jobs are there before you, then you either planned your class schedule poorly, or aren't trying hard enough.

How many times did our people hang out at the front gates over the years? Or at least make sure one of us could.
Sounds like New Army needs to reassess their priorities

I had a horrid spring semester with a Wednesday night class from 5-8, and I still made Wednesday night games showing up 1.5 hours before the game

As I understand it, y'all had the Student Section actually reserved for students. It's a little disheartening to show up to a game and not be able to sit in the Student Section with actual fellow students because a bunch of middle aged men are there with their kids

And that was back when the gates opened 2 hours before the game.
