So you were so miffed at the treatment you received and the sterile atmosphere that is present day Olsen, that you swore to never return?
But just for funsies you tried to get tickets to the regional/super regional games last year?

Apparently you even got tickets for one of the Super Regional games (congrats, btw- those were not easy tickets to get)

But I guess due to your disdain for the state of Texas A&M baseball, you decided to let those seats go unused?
Is this the story we are all going with?

The Olsen experience peaked in 1999 and has been in decline ever since, IMHO. 30 years ago, all of us looked-down on tu baseball because their crowd was so old. We talked about how pitiful it was that there were so few students in their crowd.
Now I look at our "student section" and see a bunch of middle-aged men repeating the same things we were chanting 25 years ago (albeit much faster). Nothing new has been added since before any of the current players were born. Stale is a bit of an understatement.
IMHO, the best thing that could happen at Olsen would be making the upper-deck students-only (+ their guests). It isn't workable at present, because there's no where for any of the folks to sit, but I'd like to see us filling Olsen with current students (in years to come).
Do you want me to show up to 203 and show them how to heckle players and fans?
I remember some dude from Kansas many years ago. Struck out like 4 times and wasn't even close to making contact. After the 4th K, and constant ragging, you could see the tears streaming down. Felt a little bad, but not really.The Debt said:
Duuuuudes. I just realized how fragile 18-22yos are. With good heckling, you could probably make some of the opposing players cry.

I have read all the comments and I have this to say: There is really never an unpleasant moment spent inside Olsen. I have so many, many wonderful memories. Great players, hysterical chants from the Raggies, Homeruns that proved Olsen Magic does indeed exist, counting engines, the utter outstanding Ball Five chant and I could go on and on and on. In the autumn of my life, the memories far surpass anything negative. Simply put, Olsen is the home of AGGIE baseball and that is good enough for this AG!
Or...in the case of the OP they go to one game in 20 years, during spring break, against a really good team that silences us most of the weekend, when it's pretty cold.....tjack16 said:
Anybody who says our atmosphere is lame… hasn't been to a game in April/May or postseason when the students are in full force
Come back for the Texas game, Ole Miss or Florida series and if it's still bad, then we can talk.

Production quality has suffered this year. Music is bland. Funny sound effects are non-existent. Raggies (those who are there), except for the ball 5 chant, do little to intimidate opposing team/players. Go Tigers and there's no attempt to drown them out with banging on seats. The list could go on.
OP is right…it's bland….
Luckily there's room for all of us.75AG said:
All I know is if there was a hail storm, the safest place would be under the corn dog's first base coach's stomach.
They said the same thing about football at Kyle Field. I guess if you don't throw urine on the opposing fans or tell them to suck that Aggie d**k then it just can't measure up to Meth Valley.Reno Hightower said:
Over heard a couple of l$u fans talking about the tame environment at Olsen yesterday. They had a point, but Olsen never needs the to be the acrid den that is The Box.
