You mean the one's that littered the field with beer bottles after the Jaguar game and the strong 17,000 a night showing for a team in the Wild Card chase?

Best Damn Fans in the Land
A game in the 'Shoe is already the classiest experience in football, college or pro, but taosman's words are well worth remembering.
These are heady times for the program. Expectations are high and emotions will be running full tilt all year. Let's win, or God forbid lose, with class and good sportsmanship. Sportsmanship is a pretty scarce commodity in sports these days, so a great response from OSU fans to everything that happens on the field will really stand out.
Let's remember that these are incredibly hard-working 18-21 year old young men, playing a game (and having a lot of fun doing it) that must necessarily produce one winner and one loser. Win or lose, they deserve fans they can be proud of. Let's be those fans.

umm... when the refs go back after you have already run the next play, and change the spot of the ball, and it costs you the game, i think you would be pretty pissed too... those fucking incompetant referees deserved to have shit chucked at their heads... either get the call right, or get it wrong, but you CANNOT go back after the fact and reverse an official descision that was made on the field...Thump said:You're kidding right?

as an example to back me up, i will give you a reading assignment: look up Woody Hayes' reaction when the Big Ten Officials retroactively gave the win to Mich St in '76... i'll even give you cliffs: he went fucking BALLISTIC...
concerning the attendance at the Jake: Cleveland is one of the poorest major cities in the country, and there is only so much ticket money to go around... unfortunately, due to the fact that Football is God, and LeBron is a major draw, baseball attendance suffers... for pete's sake, do a little research before you litter the board with that ignorant shit... just because people can't afford to go to a game doesn't make them any less of a fan...

Did you watch that play? Did you watch it with your "I want Cleveland to be a good team" eyes or your real eyes? The referee was blowing his whistle, waving his arms, and calling the play dead before the ball was snapped. Whatever happened after that is thrown out of court. The play never happened. THEN, he watched the replay, and he MADE THE RIGHT CALL. It was not after the fact, it was not a play late or a day late or a year late.
But that's off-topic.
Anyway, I agree that college football players shouldn't be booed. MAYBE boo the coach for a decision he made. Maybe. But even then, it's hard, because if the play had worked, you'd be praising the guy. Unfortunately, I think that a lot of people think, "This is my team, and they should run it the way I want them to, or they get my boo." It's ugly, but that philosophy won't go away.

No he didn't, the referee even admitted it... the buzzer may or may not have gone off before the ball was snapped... but the referee did not blow the whistle.
God, Quincy Morgan Sucks.

Who cares...blown call or not its a football game and you don't have the right to do serious bodily harm to someone by hitting them in the head with a fucking beer bottle(unless your Marlin Jackson 
).
I'd love to hear someone explain to some guys wife and kids why you maimed their father for life because he made a bad call during a game.

Cleveland has the best fans? Nah, I have always said, Cleveland definitley has the most loyal fans, but definitley not the best.. I find Cleveland fans, for the most part, to be kinda jaded and dumb.
The Best fans in the NFL dont throw bottles at refs. The best fans dont cheer when their starting QB gets injured, That just classless. Cleveland has Rabid fans, and very Loyal fans, but to say their the best, is actually quite assinine.

I guess my memory of the play is differenter than other people's. If I'm wrong, I'm sorry - I shouldn't have brought that up. I'll agree that once the play begins, the referee should not stop the play or go back a play to change a call. I seem to remember, though, that the referee was trying to stop the play, but no one on the field could hear a whistle, it was so loud.
No, I don't want to see or hear proof that I'm wrong. I'd rather just drop it.
The point is that you, as a fan, have no right to throw stuff on the field, regardless of whether it's a beer bottle, a snowball, popcorn, or a bobble-head doll. I agree with JaxBuck.
Let's get back on topic: booing. I'll state it again - I don't like the fact that people boo college kids, but I know it's going to happen. Maybe I should start booing the booers. Is "booers" a word?

So how do you explain all of those consecutive sell-outs they had when the Jake opened?
B/c by your ridiculous reasoning, those fans didn't have the money to attend.
And don't give me this lame excuse that now since the Cavs are in town, people go there instead.

Cleveland may be one of the poorest large cities, but what does that have to do with attendence? As Thump just pointed out, how did the city sell out all those games in 1990s if they are all poor? Plus, there are about 1.3 million people in Cuyahoga County alone, only about 490,000 of them live in Cleveland. Sure, not all the suburbs are that great either, but if you've driven through places like Brecksville, Solon, Strongville, and Broadview Heights, don't tell me there aren't people around here who can't afford to go to the games.
Cleveland fans are the worse! They are the sole reason I can't stand Cleveland sports and one of the major reasons I hate the city itself, though the pollution, liberalism, and poor economy doesn't help much either! Thank God I am moving out this piss-hole of a county at the end of the month to the much fairer land of Stow, Ohio.

I don't think any of us would support throwing things onto the field. And I wasn't implying that this was a for and against discussion on throwing objects on the field. What happened that day was a combination of fans getting involved in a very highly-emotional football game and mob mentality. That's never a good mixture. I said at the time that there were cities where I could seriously imagine a lot worse happening, had a similar situation occured elsewhere.
Maybe I'm unfairly judging Cleveland fans by this incident. I think there's already a thread somewhere about "Cleveland fans think they're the best, but are they?" If I feel like rambling about Cleveland fans, I'll do it there.
