Ok, how about this: There are plenty of places that are known as tough places to play where the fans DON'T make it a habit of insulting players in front of their Mom. I'd like to think that Cajun Field is one of those places.
How's that?
I understand the fun in some light hearted heckling but at Cajun feild when the visitors are already getting an embarrassing beatdown and you know the player's mother is listening, I would prefer that Cajun Field be know as a dificult but friendly place to play. I hate the fact that at least one parent and a sister of a player went back to Texas thinking that cajun fans are a bunch of jerks. Jmo
Well when I was on the fifty, on the rail when we played A&M they had a Breaux Bridge kid on the team we gave him and every other team hell. It was fun to get in their head. At the baseball games we used to bring a boot on a string and sit on the 3rd base line. The boot came in particularly handy when Barbier booted on into left fielding when it turned to look at us he saw said boot flying onto the field.
Keep it clean as you can and when mom walks over tell her it's part of the game and its nothing personal.
IF she inserted herself into the student section, she obviously wanted to be close to her son.
You should have let her get on the rail. Her condolences would have embarrassed him more than anything a heckler might have said.
I hope you kept it clean, but I also hope no one said "Yo you momma where combat boots"
PS I don't even know what that means
I'm on the fence on this one. I don't want us getting a rep of being obnoxious like the Corndogs. On the other hand I want Cajun Field to be a tough place to okay and the RedZone is a part of that. If the students can get into a players head and gave him mire worried about jawing with them than playing that is great. The idea that they got a backup QB to start to run onto the field, as someone relayed earlier, is hilarious.
Players parents have to have thick skins or bad hearing. I wasn't there so I don't know what the students said to or about the player, but the parent should have let it go. Some parents are overly sensitive. IMO, she is just as much or more at fault.
There was amazing cell phone video last year of the Mom of the So Miss QB going off on So Miss fans who criticized her son. Pretty funny if you can find it.
Also just wanted to say they were being clean, they were mostly saying how much his mom loved him and such
By watching the game on TV Sunday night, I can tell you that the stadium, from the camera shots I saw, looked pretty similar to when Nicholls was here. However, the endzones did not look quite as packed and I think the top corners of the upper deck were a little sparse but outside of that, it looked real similar.
You won't have to worry about the blazing sun next year. Kick offs will be moved back to 7:05 according to my source!
If it's profanity laden attacks... it isn't cool. If it's some clever, good natured heckling... I could care less if a parent gets wound up. In this big world we live in, there's going to be an overly sensitive person out there. Defending your little boy football player is only going to make life worse for him.
Of course, I'm confused on what actually happened (or happens) along that rail. Again, foul language is just not cool. Well placed creative heckling is funny.
DirtySeal... as entertaining as he was on here... helped load a few people on this forum for a Texas State beat down. When you come on someone's fan forum and disrespect them... and then your team cannot back it up... you prime the pump for some heckling.
