Yell Louder

What a great homecoming weekend for SMSU. The bands played, the cooks bar-b-que'd and the football fans cheered loudly.

Unfortunately, several fans seated close by were escorted out of the section. Many of the others seated nearby also nodded and smiled approvingly as they were lead out by uniformed security officers. One disgruntled fan yelled a couple of phrases not suitable for small children, and finished it off by loudly exclaiming: "how about this everyone, they kick you out for cheering loud!"

I guess this guy forgot to mention that security also confiscated a bottle of whiskey that he was using to help him and his buddies Yell Louder. This column isn't designed to address the pros or cons of drinking. The University has a no alcohol in the stands policy. I just want to compliment the way officials handled and diffused the situation.

The removal of these drinking rule breakers caused others seated nearby to yell louder too.
