    Wow.

    Upon a few occassions, I've been asked to sit down in the TAC and there was an interesting deal made of this in Reno last year. I am thankful it hasn't gone this far. I guess I'm on the side with balance. It seems like a compromise could have been made. The article makes it sound like they tried, but I'm curious where the replacement seats were located.

    Elderly, old folks should be able to see from their seats, but students should be allowed to stand. School administration should want to balance that as best as possible.

    This is related, so I thought I'd post it here.

    The first post in the thread is an article that ran in the Utah State University paper. I can't find the direct link. Someone called my attention to the article on facebook. You'll notice the quote by Richard.

    Where do universities draw the line between fanatical and overboard? I prefer college sports because of the atmosphere and I don't want NCAA basketball to turn into minor league NBA.

    Good question. Let's hope the NCAA doesn't get involved, I certainly don't want them determining what's appropriate or not. Their Rules Committee has a knack for screwing up a good thing. Problems such as this should be handled at the university level.

    I guess this is the silver lining to our attendence problems. I've been asked to sit down at Tech games (everyone in front of us was standing, so we had to stand to see, plus the guys yelling at us to sit down kicked beer on our seats and could easily have moved up a row or two and been fine). I usually sat with the BSU/BCM at games, but a lot of that group always stood for the whole game. I just moved up a little bit and sat behind the group. When they stood, I could still see, when I thought it was worth standing, I fit right in.
