Students determined to get rid of Dixieland delight

First off, it ain't just the student section singing that songs "custom" lyrics. They may be the loudest, but in my lowly decade of attendance having sat at the corners, the 50, the 25s, it is being sang throughout.

Students are the easy scapegoat.

They really either should have done nothing or refused to play it again. The beat “Auburn” piping just makes the whole thing look more obvious that they couldn’t control it and didn’t want to.

This is exactly what I'm talking about. Total lack of backbone by UA administration.

I'm with you, but this is just college students being college students. Pushing buttons and pushing limits is what they do. It's immature, thoughtless, and coarse.
In the end, "this is why we can't have nice things."

I don’t know, but I’d be surprised if this isn’t an issue at least at all SEC schools, and it’s probably widespread across the country.
I remember going to a Senior Bowl (my last) with my son when he was young, 30-35 years ago. Drunks in the stands were streaming profanities, maybe 30-40 feet from us. They didn’t appear to be older guys but they could have been college age. It got so ugly we left at half - I have talked to people who still go (not lately though) and it hadn’t changed.
A good way to get young people to do something is to tell them not to do it because you think it’s wrong or offensive. They don’t care.
Frankly, I’m surprised this is still an issue. Force them to stop by removing them from the games and you’ll have an empty student section. Does anyone really think that they could fill those seats with fans who are just as loud?
I have no idea how this situation unfolds, and with everything else at the moment it certainly isn’t anything that affects me one way or the other. The irony is in who these drunken, uncouth, vulgar kids might grow up to be….

I should've known it was you...

Students are usually the scape goat for everything, but what's new? I mean for years we had many on here whining about students leaving early and very little criticism of season ticket holders either not coming or leaving early at the same game.

I have no problem with anyone leaving a game early-they paid for their ticket, and can choose what time to arrive, what time to leave, or not come at all. It's their prerogative.
