I was sitting in the same area as you (actually right beside you I think) and I did not hear any profanity. Just the guy yelling that the refs were horrible. Maybe I missed something. </div></div>

I didn't hear any foul language in particular, just constant shouting and griping and yelling for the entire duration of the game - mostly targeted at the refs. [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/mad.gif[/img] </div></div>


Sit next to Chris Kelly for a whole game.

We all pretty much decided JIB was trying to work the cramps out on the field so he would only have to miss a play or two. Taking him off and working the cramps out on the sideline would have required him missing a series or two. Pretty smart on JIB's part.

You all need to lightin up, it's football and people are passionate about it. You should be thankful that your programs matter enough for people to boo, and root against.

Oh I agree with the smartness of the Burton staff for working it out on the field, but just saying that a lot of the times, and I don't know if its a should happen or shouldn't happen, an official will come over and say ok lets get the game on with when they realize its not a neck/back injury.

Well, yeah, actually I did. Obnoxious fans who yell inappropriate things I can for the most part ignore. We all have them. I actually thought the booing during pregame introductions was kinda funny in a sad sort of way. I did not, however, expect more than half the fans to start leaving when Clintwood only had an 8-point lead.

I guess my way of thinking was that Clintwood has shown Norton practically too much respect with the multiple tributes done to the memory of Harris, and that some of the players being booed were players who knew him, liked him and actually wanted to respect him previously. So it was more disrespectful than it would normally be, if that makes sense?

Probably at least half of the fans at the Lee/GC game left (mostly Lee's) after halftime too, and it was a one score game. At least fans were there at the game, because there was hardly any where we were and very few by the end of the game, fewest I've seen actually. Think I've seen more with it 20 and snowing,lol...first time I've hear complete silence at times aside from the pads popping.

I was pissed at a lot of the fans for doing that. What 6 minutes left only down a score and youre gonna head out. Hell anything could have happened.I didnt like in particular some of the CW yelling "Get him off the field!" when Talley was down. But it was a few out of all of them and the other 99 1/2% were definitely respectful.
