And, what a grumpy bunch of RPI fans.......     Some were yelling "shut up" at our pep band for having the audacity to yell "Let's Go Red!!"...       One  old lady went off on a long tirade scolding them with with the old "how would you like it if we said that to you" line.....   Very funny stuff!!        I was tempted to yell at her that she should take a "chill pill"....

Sometimes the fqns can be more entertaining than the game.

Things like that happen on the road, and it's best not to escalate.  Particularly older townie fans have an expectation of a different environment, and within limits it's polite to tone things down a bit.  Most road crowds are sparse and their fans who realize to their horror that they're among the Faithful will relocate during the first intermission.

I felt awfully silly being the only one in the arena (that I could hear) to shout "red" during the anthem at Omaha.  Folks around me were unimpressed.

Oh yes, I usually get along well with fans when on a road trip.   It's always fun to meet new people.    The only exception to that was the Colgate fan who insist on yelling directly into my wife's ear (with his rather shrill voice).   When she becomes annoyed at a hockey game, so do I...   I asked the guy nicely to NOT lean forward & yell in my wife's ear.    When he presisted, I offered to break his fucking nose.   He paid more attention to that & became friendlier.   The only problem I've had in almost 50 years of CU Hockey.

So was this in 2014, 1967 or somewhere in between.  I'm guessing 2004.
