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.

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
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

There was never a student section. It was always 100% GA

Nope, always GA.

I was just brought up with the mentality that to be early was to be on time, and to be on time was to be late.

Except for the first game or two after the renovation, and the '89 sip series, there's never been a dedicated student section at Olsen. GA is open to all.

Not when I was in school. You had GA and reserved. No _____ section.

For the nasty weather games, the ushers would even let us sit on the first deck/reserved seats if they were open.

Now they won't even let you go down there before games just to take pictures.

The "student section" was the student section because we showed up before gates opened and took it.

There are a couple of ring leaders in 203 who think they are hilarious but are actually super freaking weird so half the people don't want to follow them, or laugh at anything they say unless it's Daddy Shark, bubbles, or the rifleman...once again because they are so weird. Also they are not friendly to the casual fan who had no idea the rules and regulations of the sacred 203 when they walked up the stairs. Statboy is/was great and the most original in recent memory but I think a lot of them just follow his every move without even thinking for themselves.

Buddy, we are open to suggestions and ideas! All you have to do is come down and ask. I certainly don't feel like I've jumped into any kind of leadership role, but I've had a lot of folks asking me for advise because they see me at the games. Since I've been here, I have not seen any real leadership structure outside of Statboy leading the charge when he's here.

That being said, I'm aware that I'm weird. That's a known fact.

You sound like you got your feelings hurt after sitting in 203. Which is odd, coming from someone who likely isnt a millennial.

He started an account in 1999, I'm assuming hes older than I am, and I'm on the older end of millennials.


So yes, I did.

No I didn't get harassed or anything. It is fair to get upset at people when they are in your way in the middle of an at bat. My bad.

I was standing on the top step waiting for a break in action to go up to my seat earlier this year. One of the new ushers told me I could not stand there (Had been there about 15 seconds) because I was blocking people from getting to their seats. So I got dirty looks from the people in the first two rows of the section as I walked past them and blocked their view of the action.

Wait? Who tries to be funny?

Sure funny happens, but the point is to get the opponents head out of the game.

Or, in Shad's case, remind him that he almost got to double digit errors in a game.

Never set foot in Olsen/BBP. Have watched dozens if not more of Aggie baseball games. The unique baseball traditions are awesome but change with time. These traditions are in the stewardship of the current students with occasional help of former students seeking to support the team by supporting the traditions.

Blaming current students isn't the solution to any problem. Informing, supporting, funding, and enjoying are solutions but letting go is also necessary.

Bag on the Raggies all you want, but does any atmosphere look more boring than Bama?

RC's first year and the way Coach Johnson was fired didn't help either.
