Another Black Eye for CU

by Broncoman on Nov 18, 2008 2:16 PM MST

OK, I am getting a little annoyed at the student body, first it was rushing the field after the WVU win, I can excuse, a lot of hype and a little too much beer, then was the Texas game and throwing shirts on the field, and now we have the laser incident at the OSU game (see link here: CU Laser).

Come on, I don't know how much of the student body reads this or not, but if you do, please show some freaking class and carry yourself and the University you go to in a higher regard. I know this is an "isolated" incident, and really I am not so much angry at the jerk off who did this, but more at the idiots sitting next to him who didn't kick his ass. This isn't clever or funny, just stupid and retarded. You are at a University, this is not Community College or High School.

I know the CU student body is made up of a fair amount of transplant Californians with trust fund money to waste and see the CU football game as a place to go act like idiots rather than actually care about the freaking school, team, game or state you represent. I would still ask that the student body start looking each other in the eye and asking are you here to be drunk or are you here to actually show some school spirit and cheer for the Buffs. Trust me, if all you are in it for is the party then stay freaking home and get drunk and stoned there, if you are here to support your school and classmates, then show some class when attending the games. I rather have 30,000 fans who really are interested in cheering for the Buffs and showing some maturity, than 60,000 drunk idiots making a national spectacle of themselves, you all can go to Burning Man if you want to do that.

Trust me when I say this, if you really want a great team, then you need to be great fans. Recruits are going to see how you act and decide maybe i should go somewhere where the fans care and the fans know what D-I football is about, somewhere with tradition and honor, and if they see their potential classmates acting like fools, then they are going to head somewhere else.

Is that a Joke

Did you really just say that CU is made up of a lot of California Transplants with Trust Funds to waste. First of all how the hell do you know how many kids from California at CU have trust funds compared to kids from Colorado, New York, Texas, etc. Secondly, how the hell do you know that one fan was from California? This has to be one of the most outrageous posts I have seen on this site. Yes, clearly it’s obvious I’m from California at this point but after spending the 4 best years of my life at CU comments like this really piss me off. If this kid had a trust fun why the hell is he sitting in the worst seats at Folsom??? To be honest people like you who make blanket statements like that are far worse in my opinion than a kid with a trust fund…and no I don’t have one, I’m in debt from school just like many other kids I know from California, Colorado, Minnesota, oir any other state. GET A LIFE.

Yeah, I'm sick of it

This state is full of drunk, rich Californians who just come here to party and mess with our women. Just like your buddy Kobe.

I’m kidding. Don’t be pissed :-)

Apparently you didn't read, I said a fair amount, I didn't say everyone

And I don’t know or care where that knucklehead was from, my guess is California or out of state because most kids that I know that are from Colorado, and are fortunate enough to be able to afford to go to CU without the help of a trust fund, have the sense to treat the University with some respect and not embarass the University with stupid actions like throwing stuff on the field or bringing a laser. Many of the obnoxious kids I have meet up there don’t care about the school or the team, they are there to waste money and get to ski, drink, smoke pot, and feel entitled. Those are the kids who need to stay home, wether they be from California, Colorado, or Tim-buk-too, and if you don’t think there aren’t a fair amount of spoiled brats from California and Texas there then I suggest looking at all the kids driving BMW and the like with California and Texas tags.

The california trust fund maybe going a litte far but

I cringe whenever the student section is half full during the game. There are plenty of complaints about the people who pay for the expensive seats as well. I can’t tell you how many times I have almost got in a fight for standing up and cheering during a game this year. I wish we had a Texas Tech like environment where everyone was on there feet and cheering and students were nuts. But like everything else, winning fixes a lot of problems.

Agree Irish

There is nothing worse than ABC’s opening intro of the flatirons then changing to a shot of beautiful folsom only to see the late arriving crew behind the endzone not there(which is where I used to sit but I showed up early!)
