This doesn't need a big sub-thread. It's disrespectful to the guys on the team, who put their blood, sweat and tears, risking their health, putting their bodies in harm's way. Period.
It is my opinion that the least we can do as fans, who are fortunate enough to be in the stands, is support their effort through the final whistle.
Personally, I was fortunate to be able to attend every home game from 2001-2010, now I'm further away and I can't afford (money or time) to make the 6-7 hour drive for every game.
But the people in the seats are there, they've cleared their schedule for the day. There is no where else they need to be. My opinion, there is no excuse for leaving early because of how the team is doing, those natty lights will still be there at the end of the game.
I'll also add, if I'm a recruit on the sidelines and see crowds leaving early, like that...VT just dropped a few spots for me
To me it's just shitty. The fans love 'em when they're playing good, but when they are struggling, and need the fan support the most, you bail. These guys are amatuer atheletes, giving it their all, day in and day out. Most of them not going on to play pro, just guys out there doing what they love.
They can hear the boos, they look up and see you filing out in droves because they let you down. Fuck that.
They're doing their best, and if I could still be going to every game, like I did for so many years, I would stay til the final whistle, like I did for so many years. If you can't commit to staying at the game even when they might not be playing as good as you would like them to be, give your tickets to someone who will.
Edit: I don't mean you specifically, the general "you"
1 snap. The correct answer is Hooker played 1 snap.

# | Jerry Kill Joining VT Football Staff as Special Assistant to the Head Coach From the Roanoke Times article:
Fuente has a long history with Kill going back to their time coaching at the FCS level (then Division 1-AA) in the early 00's. Kill coached at Southern Illinois when Fuente was an offensive assistant at Illinois State, a pair of conference rivals that played annually.
Kill is also close with TCU coach Gary Patterson, who is one of Fuente's longtime mentors. The two Kansas natives both coached under Dennis Franchione (Patterson replaced Kill as linebackers coach at Pittsburg State under Franchione) and developed a friendship.
Patterson offered Kill the offensive coordinator job when he got the job at TCU, a role that Fuente would eventually land years later.
Well, I thought I was doing good getting Brees at QB....expected to miss 6 weeks, guess I'm going QB shopping,
I can. If you leave the game at halftime because you're unhappy with how the game is going, give all future tickets to someone who will stay and support the team throughout the entire game. Those people that left are no better than wahoos.

Oh I know, I watched it for a while...but still they had to embellish a little bit while filming to make things more intense for the show
where one of the guys who is literally paid to
hunt ghosts gotmake a show about walking around a dark building actually be entertaining pretend to be so scared that he ran?
seems like quite the jump on the career ladder.

Okay, so we've determined that booing the opposing team, instead of being disrespectful, instead actually gets them more hype.
Let's try for some confusion...cheer for them as they come on the field.'

Would making a wordplay out of an opposing coach's name, say Pat Narduzzi, into Paul Nardouchey or something similar be something that would be out of character for Hokie fans? Would that be rude or disrespectful?
All the water getting pushed down to Ocracoke and Hatteras by the wind as the storm passed by. You don't want to be walking out there when the water comes back.
If at 18 years old, they can't handle getting booed at an opposing teams venue, they have no business playing sports.
This. It's sports. Players expect to get booed at opposing teams venues. Booing is not disrespectful to the team in the least.
This. Unless said player does something to deserve boos (cheap shot, targeting, unnecessary roughness, being Grayson Allen)
Then booing the player is okay in my books too

# | SEPTEMBER 2019 -FOOTBALL RECRUITING AND TRANSFER THREAD Redux ahem...good work guys
He ain't the only one talkin shit bro 👀👀👀 https://t.co/PqAUtRiEgDhttps://t.co/1pcSLtf6BGhttps://t.co/DfehpBJWtb— Carolinatill1d1e (@Carolinatill1d1) September 6, 2019
I typically defend Fuente, but you're absolutely right. Instead, he was yelling at Willis to go down next time.
I couldn't believe that the commentators didn't even mention it.
On that note, how did that hit, right in front of the ref not draw a flag?

# | Edit: Here's a Picture of Taggert's "Lethal Simplicity" in Action 
Most of the northern Outer Banks ended up alright. Yard cleanup at my house. A lot of siding and shingles ripped off, a few trees down on houses. Ocracoke and Hatteras got fucked unfortunately.
Last thing I have to say on this...I am chuckling way too hard to myself picturing a bald obese woman walking across the room and you (having no idea what you or your wife look like) sitting on the couch booing her every time she passes
