Fall is here, well pretty much. Now what does that mean to me. Crunch time for the Cardinals in baseball. In football, the Broncos have just as good a chance of going to the Superbowl as anyone. I'm also in a couple of fantasy football leagues. It's a good time for being a sports fan.
Speaking of fans, I went to the Michigan - Oregon game this past Saturday. Wow, was that embarrasing. Not only the way the Wolverines played, but the way alot of the fans acted. It's unfortunate, but I see it every where I go. I've seen it now in Michigan, Detroit, Chicago, and yes, even my beloved St. Louis. Now, I remember in high school a friend and myself would razz some of the opposing high school hockey players when we would go to the game. But I guarantee one thing, we never swore, and it was usually in good fun. We had even made a sign for one of them and after the last game of the season he asked if he could have it. But what I was hearing coming from our fine upstanding youth was vile and rude. Root for your team, give the other team crap, razz the opposing fans, but you can't take it too far. It's only a game. I can see why there are so many fights in the stands though. And I truly don't believe that the fights are between opposing fans. Because I know I was very close to starting a fight with one of the jackasses sitting behind me, Michigan fans or not. It just disgusts me. Buying a ticket does not give you the right to get drunk and beligerent. Another wonderful thing was the little kids sitting in the stands that had to listen to it all. Well, to any Ducks fans out there, just remember that not every Michigan fan is a Jackass. But we do feel like it after the start of this season.
