Those crazy people in the North Endzone

[stoops the eternal pimp]

How many osu footballs ended up being thrown out of the stadium?

I had friends in the south EZ texting me askin what all the commotion was..STEPwife found it hilarious

[GottaHavePride]

Heh. Awesome.

[tommieharris91]

I counted 2. Even an aggie got in on it.

[BoomerGirl34]

Heard they got two out of the stadium and then the yellow vest mafia came in and ruined the fun.

[colinreturn]

what happened? :confused: :confused:

[stoops the eternal pimp]

I personally saw 2 make it out. Just wasnt sure how many more if any.

The wife was saying if she caught one she was gonna run with it to the top and throw it over herself

[stoops the eternal pimp]

what happened? :confused: :confused:


When osu would kick a fg before the game or during, the fans would toss it up to the top of the stadium and someone would throw it over the wall to the outside..even if it didnt make it out , it would get tossed around for a while

[sooner2b09]

I was right in the middle of it, granted i didn't catch one but i was cheering everyone on!

[KaiserSooner]

classless

[jdsooner]

We can't help it--we're f'n hillbillies!

[sooner59]

Hey, its fun.... Why is it every time we do something that is not business-like, we have to be class-less or stupid. I wasn't in the north endzone doing that but it is always fun to watch people throw footballs out of the stadium against OSU. Its harmless. And yeah the wave happened again. It died down when our offense got back on the field, but people will still complain. I know.... how about the fans completely dissassociate themselves from the game. The wave is fine as long as it keeps fans interested when our team is not on the field. Throwing the ball out of the stadium is fun for the fans. Nobody else pays any attention. So who cares. I say lets just have fun at games. Ive noticed exactly what Bob Stoops said about our fans. They are spoiled. Its a fact. We are not as loud as we were in his first few years. I am disappointed by this, and anything to keep the crowd awake is fine with me (as long it does not affect our offense). Other than that, im proud of our crowd today (we all cheered well). Our team came to play and im proud of them for that. Congratulations to everyone at Memorial Stadium today. Another great day in OU history. On to the Big 12 Champ. game. I have my tickets and hotel, so lets get it up and carry the momentum into next week. I want my first trip to San Antonio to be sweet.

[tommieharris91]

Bob can look at himself when he complains that our fans are spoiled. He spoiled us, and frankly, I'm glad he has!!! Are you saying we, as fans, need a 6-6 for perspective?

[Aries]

Its harmless.

Don't those things cost like a hundred bucks each?

[frankensooner]

Don't those things cost like a hundred bucks each?
Nah, they just make them out of their used-up research pigs.

[sanantoniosooner]

classless
you must be the chubby dude that felt he had to walk the ball down the aisle and give a pathetick girly toss toward the field only to have the ball come back and go over the wall anyway.

It was good amusement.

[sanantoniosooner]

Don't those things cost like a hundred bucks each?
It just drops to the ground below.

It's not like there is a bog of eternal stench on the other side of the wall.

Totally recoverable. Especially if it is somewhat of a tradition. You just put a staff person down there to fetch it. It's not that complicated.

[S.PadreIsl.Sooner]

Not classless. Funny! Juvenile, yes, but still funny.

[stoops the eternal pimp]

When that guy walked down the aisle with the ball, I screamed "Mangino!" at him.

[sooner59]

I'm glad he has, too! No, we don't need that perspective. We just need to enjoy our wins and get loud for every game, not just the big ones. I'm not complaining, I am just saying that everyone has high standards now that Bob has turned things around. We don't have to win every game by 40 points to be proud of our team though.

[Flying Scotsman]

....However, 32 will do....

[arsooner]

I actually think the crowd is better and more involved/louder that it used to be.

[OKMAGIC]

Juvenile my azz. Who you callin juvenile. I'm 59 and I chunked it north. NEZ rules!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[OKMAGIC]

Oh yeah, I forgot, I'm a man, I'm 59.

[SoonerMom2]

When that guy walked down the aisle with the ball, I screamed "Mangino!" at him.

ROFLOL!!! That's what I was thinking -- he wasn't chubby is was FAT!

Then he threw down and it went back up. We sit in the section of the guy that starts OSU Sucks all the time which I think is hilarious. It starts at the first game and continues all year. A lot of OSU types sat in our section in the 90's and we took a lot of grief. Now it is payback!

[josh09]

I saw 2 balls go over. And I saw the aggie at the top throw it halfway back down, only to see another aggie chunk it right back over his head and out of the stadium. I thought that was pretty funny :D

[Sooner FLiP]

yea those aggies tried to toss it back but they could do it. ti was funny. then they had to call out the OUPD.

[OUstud]

Props to the guy who threw the ball at the Aggy pregame huddle.

[AverageJoe]

I am a NEZ crazy but I would never do the ball thing. But I do think it's funny. Just good fun until they get you on camera and take your season tickets away........:eek: ..............I would freakin' DIE right there if that happend to me.

[landbandit]

This is actually a tradition. Heck they threw every one of the kicker's warm up balls, up and out of the stadium during the pregame in 2003. He was walking around with his hands stretched out like "what do I do now?" .... it was the BEST!!

[sooner59]

I remember that. That was hilarious. That was a great atmosphere. The crowd was deafening during the goal-line stand. 52-9, HA!

[proud gonzo]

This is actually a tradition. Heck they threw every one of the kicker's warm up balls, up and out of the stadium during the pregame in 2003. He was walking around with his hands stretched out like "what do I do now?" .... it was the BEST!!that's awesome!

[stoops the eternal pimp]

The first one they threw out yesterday was in the pre game. The Osu ball boy was standing on the field with this "Come on guys" look on his face while it was being tossed up.

[MamaMia]

[goingoneight]

Nah, they just make them out of their used-up spouse-pigs.

fixed. :D

It sure the hell was after the Miami game! That muddy grass in 90 degree sunshine stanks...

B.E.S.

That's funny.

[SoonerShark]

I hope that you are right. The folks on the south end around the 20 were absolutely quiet most of the game. I was shocked at how quiet our fans were when OSU had the ball. I was one of the few voices constantly trying to distract the other team. In 2003, when OSU came into Norman it was noisy as all get out. I remember in 82 when USC came to town our crowd was very loud...when we had the ball. Our crowd was screaming support for the offense...but was quiet as could be when USC had the ball. You could hear their QB shouting signals. I was surprised at how clueless we were as a group. I went to a high school game in my home town this weekend and our home crowd would scream its support loudly when we were on offense, yelling at the same time that the visitor's yelled. Despite our crowd's misguided support we won Friday night.

[bonkuba]

OK..........:D

I am in section 19 and the fat man stopped right about our row. Mangino!!!! HAHAHA!!! That was the best!! I cannot believe a Sooner threw it back down (and a girly throw at that).

For some odd reason the folks that sit right next to me sold their tickets to ag and his girlfriend er uh sheep. One ball got in his hands and he was about to throw it down and then.....well I dont know what got into me but I practically tackled him knocking the ball down a few rows. About 3 minutes later it made it over the wall.

OK. I know it might sound "class-less" from a 37 year old.....but man that was fun.

I do have another question about ag that really killed me. Why in the "heck" do they take out their keys when we (or they) are about to kick off? This makes no sense to me (probably because I am thinking).:D

Also, that idiot next two me did the waving wheat crap too. I looked over at him and said "Dude, that has to be the stupidest thing I have ever seen"......his reply "That's what we do".:D

Anyway.....such is the life in section 19.

[KaiserSooner]

It was good amusement.

Yeah, that's it. I'm morbidly obese.

It's only good amusement when you are doing it to other teams' equipment. I have no doubt you're one of those Janus-faced dunderheads who would cry foul if the same thing happened to OU on the road.

[StoopTroup]

They switched to the South EZ before half and the folks threw the balls back...They almost got a cheerleader and a bandmember.

I stopped one from clocking the kid behind me on the right.

I didn't see it coming and just reacted quick.

I don't think the kids Father understood just how fast that was coming because he said something like "You almost had that one" to his kid. The kid would have had it alright and probably would have wondered what happened when he came out of his mini-coma.

I'm glad I didn't pick it off...I wOUld have done something classless with it too. :D

Also...the sOUth EZ has an unwritten rule...don't hit the Handicap Folks with the ball. If you don't think you can make it...give it to someone who can.

[sanantoniosooner]

Yeah, that's it. I'm morbidly obese.

You must have me mixed up with one of the thousand other whiners around here.

You must be under the impression that the footballs they use break easily.

[mdklatt]

Why in the "heck" do they take out their keys when we (or they) are about to kick off?

Key shaking is the aggiest thing there is. Any school that does this is automatically aggy, no exceptions.

Of course, us doing the Oooooo-U thing after the other team scores is pretty aggy too. :mad: :O

Nope. Just that you apply a lower standard to OU fans, and a higher one for other teams' fans.

[sanantoniosooner]

Nope. Just that you apply a lower standard to OU fans, and a higher one for other teams' fans.
You definitely have me mixed up with someone else.

I get bashed around here for being "level headed" and not wearing crimson glasses.

The more you talk, the less informed you appear to be.

[flopshotjoe99]

this was my first OU/OSU game, couldn't stop laughing watching the back & forth of the ball them up & over baby.:D

[Boarder]

In 2003 is was even funnier. I thought osu's kicker and ballboys were going to cry.

Notice it only happens to aggy when they come here? I think it's hilarious and harmless fun. Nobody gets hurt and there's no profanity or anything. And no way would I whine if the same thing happened to OU at, say, the OU/tx game. I'd kind of expect it, actually.

Awww, come on... Booger Picker probably wipes his *** with those balls. He can afford to replace them. :stunned:

[picasso]

first time I've sat there in 10 years and I must say it's weak and sad that some of you goobers actually threw their footballs out of the stadium.
We were kicking their butts on the field, isn't that good enough.

Dorks.

[Boarder]

No, YOU'RE A DORK! :D

Don't tell me that you don't think messing with aggy in every way possible is not funny.

[picasso]

it just reminded me of something Aggy would actually do.

not us.:)

[Ash]

Good clean messin' with little brother fun. It's not like we threw whiskey bottles at the kickers head or sent 200 death threats to their starting QB - which is considered good, clean fun in SEC land.

Lets not take it personal. I wouldnt know about the home of the chubs since I am a Cardinals fan. Sorry!!!

Acc fans telling JJ Redick they are going to rape his sister

Ou fans throwing footballs over the stadium, not so much!

Yeah, I saw T Boone down on the field holding up a wad of cash saying "**** gooners...I got enough money to buy a hundred balls."

you saw that too! :D

[jr4ou]

i remember the 2005 season, during pre-game the punter kicked the ball into the northeast endzone. they ended throwing the ball over. i thought the ballboy was gonna come up the stands.

[Collier11]

what year was it that the ballboy grabbed on of the guys in the stands and almost got his head knocked off, then the cops escorted the little ballboy away

[Boarder]

Hey, just think of it as one of the messing with sasquatch commercials. Except that sasquatch is like a tiny half dead sasquatch that has no chance of retaliation, only the sasquatch smell.

[MamaMia]

Its just a football! Big woo. Now, if one of their players had been attached to the ball before it got thrown over, that would be really mean and totally unacceptable. :P

"Totally unacceptable" may be a little strong.

[Animal Mother]

It all depends upon whose ox has been gored apparently when humor is involved. It is similar to someone reading things that aren't actually on the posting screen. Posters have personal agendas that they deem necessary to ram down another poster's throat even when it is totally unrelated to what I posted. Oops!!! I suddenly have pronoun problems!!! One man’s punch line is another man’s “fightin’ words”.

[TopDawg]

I think it's funny...and it's been going on for years. They used to send it up the student section back before there was a big upper deck at the back of it. There was no back-and-forth in the student section. It zipped right on up there. Personally, I like the north endzone tug-of-war better. I think the rest of the fans need to get into it like the students do. Cheer when it goes up, boo when it goes down.

I mean, come on. It's a ball. If it's that big of a deal, raise the OU/OSU ticket prices by one dollar. $85,000 should cover the cost of the balls they lose.

[OKMAGIC]

Actually, there are many of us in the NEZ that were in the student section at some time in the past. Now we don't just chunk it up and out pre-maturely. We work it. Its called foreplay and it goes a long way.

[Thousands Strong]

Classless, Unsportsmanlike, Pointless...
...and a great demonstration of a mob-mentality / inferiority complex with o-st!

I'm sure the elderly gent in s.19 thought it was hilarious when he got popped in the chops by a tight spiral from below. :rolleyes:

Apparently some can't wait to have their season tickets yanked, "Allstate" nets hanging all around the field and/or OUPD hovering in the aisles.

I can agree with classless, unsportsmanlike and pointless...but I don't think it's really too far down any one of those spectrums. Heck, you can make an argument that not helping your opponent up after a tackle is classless and unsportsmanlike, but I don't think our players are bad people for not doing it.

However, to make the jump to inferiority complex is a bit much. Why can't it just be having some virtually harmless fun at the expense of our rival?

[OUstud]

This only happens when we play Aggy. It's funny, non-offensive, and not dangerous. Look at it this way: at least our end zone seating is a. in use, b. not staring into the sun, and c. full. Only a. will be applicable once they finish renovating their "stadium".

[mdklatt]

Speaking of stuff that goes on during the oSu game...how come there wasn't a "Pooooor Aggies" chant?
