If things don't go well for Tech I fear their fans could become extremely belligerent towards our fans. I fear something bad could go down out there. Lets hope they have extra security on hand for this game.

It is interesting with all of this talk going on about how bad Tech fans, not one link is given (except for a picture of Craig James) stating ALL of the assaults that happen at Jones Stadium.

If all of the above fails because of alcohol please get me out of jail before Monday.
That is all.
If you are going to the game, then at least report back on how you were treated.
That is as long as you are still alive, and still have all of your limbs.
My fear is that the Tech fans may behead you, and cut off your arms, and legs.

"It’s intimidating for teams to play here because of our cursing and how bad we treat other fans," said Student Government Association President Suzanne Williams. "Our sportsmanship becomes worse when we are losing, and it’s more passionate with a rivalry game."

Wow, those police reports were to nice to look at, but out those three, not ONE incident involving an assault like people here are claiming "happens all the time". Everything there was public intox, which will happen ANYWHERE, especially with the tailgating that goes on.
Out of all these years, you could only find ONE article that was written about the behavior of Tech fans? Nice to have an article, though, but I'm fairly sure those Aggies were just "innocent bystanders"...right? I'm real sure those Aggy fans weren't heckling the Tech students, especially after spanking Tech, right?

Also, in order to be arrested for PI, the officer has to witness some kind of behavior from the subject. PI is the easiest way to get them out of the situation if they have been drinking.
