Trying to stay awake for my twentieth straight hour this morning, (got to love the end of the semester) I caught a discussion on Mike and Mikeabout fan etiquette. This was a result of the New York Rangers' coach getting into it with a fan at the game. Now I know what you're thinking, nobody watches hockey, but that's not the point.
Some dude in the stands was a big enough pecker that the coach felt compelled to grab a stick and go after said dude. Whatever this guy was saying had to be pretty repulsive and he probably deserved it. What Mike and Mike or both of them or whatever were saying was that fan behavior has gotten out of control. They paraded guest after guest on to say how disgusted they were with the fans. They took the same PC stance they always take because the show sucks, but their point was a valid one.
If you have to lower yourself to yelling obscene and perv-like things in a public place even I would have to disagree with your behavior. Not because how dirty the language is, I could care less, is that it can't even be that funny or witty if it's really that lude.
Whatever happened to the good old days of shouting "Sweet Face!" when the ugly kid got the ball? Or the times you Matt Walshed your rear? Are the days gone when you can bring your, "Will Fidler Fouled My Mom!" sign and feel like you still are making a difference?
Surely I hope not. Listen nobody here at YDF doesn't enjoy getting sauced up and making fun of people and teams, its just too much damn fun. That doesn't mean, however, that we can't still be classy and represent our team and carry ourselves in a higher manner. So next time you happen to be within an ear shot of Lane Kiffin don't tell him to go f*ck himself (although I'm pretty sure he already has) let him know you're off to drop some Volunteers in the crapper and you'll be sure to whipe your Big Orange.
