If you don't want to see the #bottles then don't turn the ball over.
Oh that was our players? Weird twitter made it seem like it was the fans that did it. I'm okay with this!

LSU for the win, Tech to show, and Florida to place.

I like the LSU pick. I didn't go, but South Carolina friends of mine tell the story of being insulted and even threatened in the parking lot before the game and having beer poured on the S.C section from the upper deck above...not to mention all the "noise" during the game that was not suitable for children. Drunk cajuns...many of them no doubt never attended a class at LSU.
Tech - for sure, As low rent as they come. LSU - battling Tech but not quite there. Arky - very, very bad, but I feel so sorry for them I can't put them at #1.
But ladies and gentlemen, as I've heard it from personal sources at 7 different schools, there may not be any place like the Ohio State University.
The worst I saw Saturday was Frog fans doing a "Pony Ears down" hand sign, sort of like the Sooners do a "Longhorns down" gesture. Not very clever, but not that rude, either — insignificant, more than anything.
Back in my day Baylor fans at their place were the worst. Never saw so much drinking, cursing and throwing stuff. Heard 8 year olds saying things that would make a sailor blush. tt and arkie must have stepped up their game.
Went to the game and TCU fans were very complimentary. For us, it was an enjoyable game, lots of scoring coming down to the last series. I was scared to death the entire second half. So many TCU fans were so nice, I felt sorry for them...well, not that sorry.
Worst fans Tech, most aren't even college graduates. Worse fans at a social event? Longhorns, most entitled fans in the known universe.
Tech fans: Boorish louts. Not sure that this was true until the "Pirate" mentality came along. Longhorn fans: Entitled but insecure. Identity way too tied up with team Baylor fans: Mostly cool but can't stomach their teams. Many are definitely not Sunday School types. Aggies: Their chants and gimmicks are immature. But I really can't complain. They are friendly. TCU fans: I have no particular complaint. I used to work in FW and knew a lot of them. Arkansas fans: Crude. Few of them have college educations. Ole Miss suspended their series once
There are clear and obvious exceptions to each stereotype. Living in Austin I used to hear a lot of complaints about us when were were in the SWC. We were considered snobbish and elitist. Once again, this ties into their typical insecurities.
I was cussed at repeatedly during the game for cheering after our many scoring plays. While walking out with my friend and his two young sons, multiple fans yelled obscenities and f-bombs at us and one very overweight TCU fan bowled over one of my friend’s sons in the crowd leaving the stadium and didnt even bother apologizing. When I said something to him, he told me to eff off.
As I said, the contrast in the qualities of our student bodies (and alumni bases) couldn’t be any more stark. TCU is like a private Tech.
