I like to get seats in the 300s as close to home plate as possible.  I like those little green boxes in the 300s because the view is good, the area is small and it's high enough that you can hunker down on a fajita or text the GF without having to worry about getting beaned by a foul ball.  But sometimes I'll encounter what I now suspect are you standing room peeps.  You get up to go pee and come back and somebody's in your seat.  You just look at them like they're something the cat dragged in and they sit up straight and say, "Is this your seat?" I go, "Cha!" and they get up and wonder off.  I always wondered who those aimless people are.  I like saving money but sometimes I don't mind spending it.  For example, I'd rather be the person telling somebody to move than the person being told to move.

 "I spent enough so that we don't have to jack around with the dirty unwashed masses.  

I am what I am and make no apologies for it.
I laughed as we walked past the huge lines to sit in the cheap seats in "The Zone."  We had our own entrance, our own escalators to the club level, numerous bars and food stands inside the club with barely any lines, no aimless standing room peeps trying to snake your seats while you go pee--it was great! If you have the means, I highly recommend it.

That's only the student section.

And it's really no different than any other game I've ever been to.  Students at UT stand for the whole game.  I mean, they don't do it for pride or tradition so they'll sit down during time outs or when they need to pour more bourbon from their boot flask into their stadium coke, but while on-field action is occurring, I can't recall a single stadium I've ever been to, where the students didn't stand.  They stand at Tech, Baylor, TCU, Houston, Arkansas, and of course at the Cotton Bowl for TX-OU.  Heck, what few students I ever saw at a Rice game, were standing too.

I always sat on the west side but I do seem to recall the Texas fans around me being condescending golf clappers until 1977.

I think it took the crappy season of 1976 (and especially the horrible 30-0 home loss to UofH) to snap us out of our entitled complacency.

In the ‘90s when everybody talked about how great the Nebraska fans were, I could relate.  It’s easy to be gracious and somewhat apathetic when you’re beating the crap out of everyone.

Have Husker fans gotten serious yet?
