If you're a guy, make sure you have a good reason for wearing a jersey. Jerseys are acceptable for all women. Hot ladies look extremely hot in jerseys. Not-hot ladies are well covered by jerseys. Ladies can’t go wrong by wearing a jersey to a game. Extra points go to the ladies who wear the numbers of 300+ pound linemen… not just the number of the ‘dreamboat’ quarterback.

Also, ladies, Carolina blue is not a substitute for navy blue.

Don’t hold other fans to your standards of fandom. I never left an Auburn game early because Auburn was losing, but don’t yell at other people when they decide they’d rather do something other than watch their favorite team get slaughtered. People argue that we should stay to support the team. I think that’s a ridiculous argument. Why would the players want us to watch them be embarrassed?

I recommend staying for another reason. There’s always the slight chance of a huge comeback. The slight chance of witnessing an outrageously improbable comeback usually outweighs a guaranteed extra hour on Saturday in which you’d still be depressed because Auburn lost. Don’t think you’re the superior fan because you stay, you’re just better at risk management. Similarly, it’s also important to realize this is why fans of bad football teams travel to Auburn to watch games. They realize that there’s a 99% chance that they’ll lose, but the trip is justified because the payoff gained from attending one of the greatest upsets in college football history outweighs the near certainly of a loss to these people.

Punt Bama Punt - my dad told me he quit watching at the beginning of the 4th quarter.

Granted, it’s pretty dumb for a Buffalo fan to travel to Auburn since the odds of a payoff are similar to the lottery, but the Ole Miss fan that travels to Auburn is more like a guy who invests in high risk mutual funds.

Finally, I have a suggestion to students - don’t complain about block seating. Every year, many non-greeks complain about how fraternities get block seating at football games. It allows the greeks to show up and claim their seats thirty minutes before kickoff when the rest of us have to get to games two, three or four hours early. However, these complaints are completely invalid as the advantages of this system highly favor non-greeks.

Fist of all, the block seating areas are in the worst locations of the student section. They’re mostly in the corner, too close to the field or too far up, making viewing a game pretty hard, and they’re in locations were it’ near impossible to view plays on the jumbotron.

These less desirable places to sit are also the places that TV cameras can easily access. While the truth hurts, fraternity guys and their sundressed dates look more appealing to the ESPN cameras than say, people like this.

The current policy works.
