I lost all respect for a big part of the 12th Man on Friday. If you were there, you know what I am talking about. The 3rd deck IN THE STUDENT SECTION was solid orange from the 25 yard line and south. When there are t-sips on the 2nd and 3rd decks on the east side at Kyle, it is an embarrassment to this fine university and everything the 12th Man represents. I don't care about the rest of the stadium, but our student section is sacred. I'm sorry, but if you are a student and you failed to pull a ticket for the tu game, you contributed to this embarrassment. In my opinion, students that failed to pull tickets and created this situation no longer deserve to be part of the 12th Man. I feel like every Bonfire that I built was p*ssed on, I feel like every Rev grave outside the Zone was walked on, and I feel like the legacy of E. King Gill has just been dishonored.
I have always been adamant about my support of preserving our student section. I have publicly supported higher ticket prices to subsidize loss of revenue by having a student section with ~25K tickets. However, my argument has now been weakened by the lack of pride of a certain number of our students. Our student allotment should now be reduced. I feel that students should no longer have 1st deck tickets. Let the Corps block be the only student tickets on the 1st deck, and turn the remainder over to the TMF. I NEVER WANT TO SEE BURNT ORANGE IN THE STUDENT SECTION AGAIN!
I am NOT calling out the students that were there and yelled for this team. I salute you and commend you. But I am calling out the students that didn't pull tickets "because we were going to get our asses kicked anyway." This group doesn't deserve to have the honor of being part of the 12th Man.
Blast me if you want, but seeing burnt orange where the 12th Man resides is a slap in the face to everything this university stands for.
