Bringing Your Wife (Girlfriend) to the games...

[fwsooner22]

I haven't started a thread on this board for a very long time but I gotta get rid of this.

At the beginning of the game on Saturday I was not aware that Reid's jersey no. was #5. However, when I saw his act on the first few plays of the game I knew he was gonna be the guy who was gonna catch he%% all day. WAY too cocky for an away game, much less in Norman. When I realized it was the much discussed "difference maker", well let's just say the floodgates were open.

Basically, I was screaming at that top of my lungs at him because most of his lackluster play was right in front of me. It's kinda what I do with anybody who thinks they can come to our place and act like they own it. Now, I never use profanity and it's only when he is on the field. So we are only talking about 10 or 12 instances.

By the way take a look at his blocks when he doesn't get the punt/kick off. HILARIOUS. He also blames someone else every time he gets burned.

Now, to the point; I had to endure a 30 something woman (in an OU jersey) with a man (in an OU jersey) turning around 4 rows below me yelling OK we get it, leave him alone. When I didn't stop she threw the "stare down" at me. I have had the same seats for 25 years. All the people around me now what to expect. Nobody has a problem with it (at least they don't say so) and most times (when its not 100 degrees) they will join in from time to time.

So, if you bring your uninformed girlfriend/wife or for that matter boyfriend/husband try to clue them in that this OU FOOTBALL not your son/daughters soccer game.

Thank You. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

that was me and my wife....we we're this close to killing you!!!

just kiddin ya'. my wife and i were at the game, and i can tell ya.. we both had lost our voices before the end of the first half!

if i were you, i'd a just yelled louder

[Landthief 1972]

Gotta disagree. It's funny the first few times, but after a while, you're not punishing him, you're punishing everyone around you. I had a guy sitting behind me do that at OU-Texas last year, and we were nowhere near the field. I guess he thought the whorns would hear him from 10 rows below the Jumbotron. They couldn't, but me and my awful Humperdink's hangover sure as hell did.

[Soonerntxs]

Amen, brother!

& on this note, If I ever tell one of you to sit down and could you please not be so loud? I beg of you, take my season tickets, my 1970's rusted folding chair, my yellow OU visor, my 1985 plastic (HACKKER) spit cup and escort me to section 40 and tell me I have been upgraded!

Thanks!

[sooner_born_1960]

Heckle or talk trash opposing players all you want, from any seat in the house.

Boomer!

I'm close enough that He heard me......Oh HE heard me .........

If you can't bring your "A" game to OU/**, well then.......

[StoopTroup]

I think you Sooners are all very Brave.

[BoulderSooner79]

Last time I brought my wife and my girlfriend to the same game, it was an awkward situation. No thanks.

[Soonerntxs]

I think you Sooners are all very Brave.

AND SOONERS TOO!:D

[soonerborn30]

As long as what you're saying is funny and not repetetive, I don't see a problem with it.

[SoonerPr8r]

I think you Sooners are all very Brave.

Only when they are standing.

[badger]

Oh yeah, blame the chick. :mad:

[yukonsooner]

I know you're not my husband, but you sound just like him. Everyone in the section is used to him now and pay very little attention. We've had our seats for 20+ years so there are many new faces. They don't remember the time he was escorted out by security. It was during the Blake years and the quarterback kept back peddeling and got sacked for like a 30 yard loss. At that point my husband threw his radio down the steps. Pieces of the radio bounced like 20 rows down batteries went everywhere. For the remainder of the game people kept bringing me little bits of the radio to me. Just go ahead and enjoy yourself.

[fwsooner22]

Hey....I tried to be politically correct.

[Spritekid]

Yeah!! It cost you more money.... and you may not get to see much of the game by running back and forth to be with each. But hey if you can pull it off then by all means.

[Mississippi Sooner]

The really funny thing is the first time I took my wife to a Sooners game (she's from the Bay Area and a diehard Raiders fan), she asked me why everyone was so well behaved. She couldn't understand how our team was so legendary, but our fans were so darned polite.

It's all about perspective.

[KantoSooner]

So tell me, I was watching on teevee, was the sound level acceptably loud and obnoxious?
Because from the perspective of my living room it looked like the crowd was pretty much sitting down, chatting with each other and glancing at the field from time to time.
Then I hear people who were there claim it was in the TT '08 range.
Eye/ear witnesses, which was it?

At times it was loud, for me though, nowhere near the tech game loud. shoot, before we got all over em the FSU fans were all you could hear. we got loud on big downs and such but for me, not close to the tech game.

[fwsooner22]

It was loud at times but certainly didn't rise to the level of TT.

You always have to factor in the heat. It was hot and those on the east side were gettin' beat up by the sun.

It was fun seein' those heat tolerant Seminoles under the stands in the second quarter lookin' like wet noodles. Felt bad though. Bought a few some bottled waters.

I was confused as well. There was only a couple of times I thought, "yeah, good job crowd!" Since I have heard it was loud as hell.

[BoulderSooner79]

Running back and forth? You mean I shouldn't have gotten all 3 seats together? Maybe that was the problem.

[stoopified]

I don't take my wife to games any more and never will again.The last time I took her (OU-UTEP,Hotter than hell),I lokked over and my wife was sitting back with her eyes closed.I thought she was just relaxing in the sun BUT NOOOO,she was asleep.

LMAO! Now that's good stuff! :D

Two things:

1. He is an amateur athlete.
2. He doesn't play for UT.

Therefore, there is no need to harass him.

[soonersweetie]

as for bringing your wife/girlfriend....9 times out of 10, I'm yelling louder than most of the guys. I guess we just need to remind some ladies/gents, that if they wanted a quiet, intimate tea party, they should have just stayed home. ;)

They did him a favor.

I like it. One generality I've noticed: hecklers don't get funnier as they get more drunk and there is a point of no return.

[SoonerLB]

Good one, thanks for the laugh! :D

[badger]

My little heckling story (which I've told many times, but it's still funny):

I was surrounded by about two dozen other students in a support group for the OU womens basketball team (read: it was the pep band, ok?). This was back before the team regularly got 7-8k each night in attendance, so everything you said at everyone could be heard.

We were hosting Colorado and they had a large girl. A very large girl. Suddenly, the guys around me are making beeping noises when she's at the free throw line, while doing the little truck-backing-up motion with their hands. Then, there were the Chewbacca noises, coupled with "What a Wookie!"

The next meeting, we are informed that CU's athletic department contacted ours, telling us that we really hurt the girl's feelings with the truck beeping and wookie noises. Heckling was greatly scaled back after that game.

I personally did not participate, but I've found that when you heckle, you latch on to one player and make them the crowd's beyonce. You merciless attack them, you call them by their first name (a reason to buy the $5 program besides looking at all of the ads!), you shout out their high school's name repeatedly (One girl from Rockwall High School in Texas would not hold onto the ball for more than a few seconds because we were so annoyingly repeating "Rockwall High School" everytime she got the ball).

You might not make football players cry like those boys apparently made the Colorado girl cry that night, but it will definitely get to them after awhile... especially if OU's beating their team by 30.

[SoonerDomiNation]

Apparentley none of yall sit by siccorhands like I do. Now thats heckling to its truiest form. My fav he does is " put me in coach i can stop em, I know they wont hurt me".

[CrimsonCommando]

1) As a general rule, I don't take my wife to games because I forfeit the opportunity to get a halftime-hoover. 2) Some of the best games I've been to are where one of my Sooner brethern are lighting up an opposing player in a good way. Funny. When I drink I get funnier, and better looking.

Boomer.

[btk108]

I take my wife....I need someone to guide me back to the tailgate. (i.e. I do not need to leave at half time) ;)

[ouduckhunter]

Take yer granny for all I care!! As long as she can talk trash and make some noise, it's all good!!

[TXBOOMER]

Section 34 Row 5 (Really row 1 because only the handicap row is in front). He heard me all day long. My voice is still horse. BOOMER!

I agree but men going after a woman for her weight is a little bit different than men going after a man for _____(I assume athletic ability).

my friend: scissorhands is kinda sexy
me: girl how drunk IS you?

[badger]

That was just the most notorious case because CU's athletic department actually called us on it. They went after everyone. We even had a girl from Sweeden one year when our exhibition game was against... a Sweedish team. So, the guys are like "How do you say 'You are a fat cow' in Sweedish?" She was a very nice girl, but for some reason told them. The rest of the game, every single girl on their team (and they are all skinny and not very tall) is getting told "Tu bich fira que!" (and I'm probably spelling every word wrong)

[SoonerGM]

my wife can out heckle you, i guarantee it! :)

seriously though, i do not get to go to the games a lot, several times i have gotten season tickets for a game from ebay or something. we NEVER get seats by a loud area. my wife and i start off yelling and all the regular season ticket holders start giving us the evil eye. happens every time.

[bent rider]

Well, they are supposed to be Div-1 athletes getting free tuition and training and asking people to pay to watch them perform, though if you're going to call yourself a "lady buffalo", you've lowered the bar quite a bit right there.

[proudsoonergal]

I enjoy yelling during games, either in person or at home while watching on the tube. The more yelling, the merrier.

Btw, not to be all annoying here, but why call out the wife/girlfriend/female in the thread title? From your discription, it sounded like the dude was as annoyed as the chick about your yelling.

It was the woman who decided to turn around and yell at me.

[Crucifax Autumn]

At least the chick was making some noise!

[fwsooner22]

I love the chick that makes a little noise. It's when it's being made and what is being said that matters to me. ;) ;)

[C&CDean]

Here's the deal. As long as you're heckling the opposing team, and not constantly repeating some lame-assed mantra that is gay to begin with, go ahead on.

My beef is with those "fans" who feel the need to criticize and scream at our own players/coaches every time something negative happens. You know who you are you sad, pathetic little men with miniscule peni.

[SoonerPr8r]

I was sitting around a bunch of idiot frat boys. Half of which, from my limited observation, had never been to a football game before. They thought I was the funniest/most clever person ever for coming up with the term CrimiNoles. I thought they were going to drunkenly put me on their shoulders....I was scared.

The only time I got a reaction from the girls in front of me say anything is when I yelled at the FSU players that their state looked like a penis. One just stared at me while her friend laughed her *** off.
