That's the same reason we don't being our kids to anything but the Spring game (which wasn't without its asshole moment from a guy in front of us). But I won't tell other parents what they should do and I don't feel like that's anyone else's place either. I view a child no matter how old as the responsibility of the parent, take them out if they get fussy etc, but I view small children the same way I view a drunk. There is no reason either one needs to take away the experiance for anyone around them, but it seems many on here are more accepting of one than the other at games, that's my issue. Who are we to tell a parent whether or not their child should come to games. Those kids should be welcomed as long as they act within age expectations and don't overly disrupt people around them.
The only clutch I've ever had was the one that you press to change gears in a manual transmission, but I see where you're going with this, and I like it.
Well stated.
I just realized:
Bronco doesn't think his players are disciplined enough to do warm-ups (see Spring Game Festival) or Yoga.
On second thought...
GOOD CALL, BRONC! GOOD CALL!
EDIT: don't TKP past your bedtime, kids.
Yes, get off and go to Macy's and pick out a tasteful clutch for each game. Let's make the most of this.
I guess maybe there is some nuance in the word "kids". I'm in favor of bringing kids who are old enough to be aware of the experience, and can behave at the low standards required. Not really fond of bringing babies to a sporting event.
Bringing babies is a parental choice, but like I said above, it's not really helping anyone's game experience (baby, parent, or everyone else in the immediate area). If it's just to avoid shelling out babysitting money, I'd say take up a collection in your row. I'd contribute to a fund to leave the little angel at home. Babysitting is part of the expense of games for parents of a small child.
This is an opinion forum, so I'm guessing there are differing opinions on this.

# | Starting QB decision today? - Fuente, Motley, Evans to address media after practice Either way, we need our backup QB to have as good a grasp of the system, execution and coaching as he can get. History has shown that we need solid backup, this competition helps provide that.
Fireman, I get it dude. I have a 4 year old daughter. I would love her to go, but I wouldn't bring her. She is just too young to a) enjoy it for the entire length, b) to put up with the noise and c) because taking care of her would honestly take away from my enjoyment and the others around me when I have to get out of the line of seats constantly.
That's just me. It doesn't apply to you or any other parent.
But taking an infant or a kid that is still in diapers to games is a judgement call you have to make. Not just for yourself, not just for your kid but also hopefully for the others around you. Just as you don't want some asshole getting drunk next to you, people likewise don't want screaming baby and smell of shitty diapers around them. That's just natural for both cases.
It doesn't mean you can't bring your kids. It doesn't mean you shouldn't. But you shouldn't be surprised that people would prefer not having infants/young toddlers in diapers next to them at a sports game.
I'd get a little red in the face if I did that.
I don't think anyone has actually said that. Some have suggested it might not be great for very young kids. Others have said that some cursing should be expected. (That should not be read as, "I will have to put up with excessively drunk assholes.") I don't think anyone thinks or has said Lane is "no place for kids." So, for the love, stop arguing about it.
Edit: Deleted edit and posted in a new comment since there was a response in the middle of my edit.
While we're on the topic of Hooville, anyone see the article on Andrew Brown? I couldn't help but shake my head while reading it knowing the talent from VA that has been wasted at UVA because they bought the snake oil London was selling.

# | Starting QB decision today? - Fuente, Motley, Evans to address media after practice What if Fuente is using this as part of his selection process? Being QB1 comes with the pressure of dealing with the media. Maybe he wants to see who handles himself better...just a thought
Ohhhhhhh I see. Yeah that makes way more sense.
I just wanted to clarify the reason I specifically told you to stop arguing about it. Because you responded to a comment that had nothing to do with what you're arguing about. Warthog was only talking about the bags and you insisted on bringing the issue of kids being at the games back up. It would have been fine had you responded to a comment that mentioned that, but you didn't. At this point, I have to agree that you are arguing for the sake of arguing and it's getting old.
Wilson looks good.
I just wish all you guys would get off of each other's lawns.
But then you see the examples in the stadium being frog walked out between two state troopers. Or passed out in the bathroom or passed out in the parking lot on the way to the stadium.
this might not be the most appropriate venue for children needing diapers
How else should a parent read that? Or this:
This whole thing started because someone mentioned that they can't bring a DIAPER BAG into a stadium. DIAPER BAG implies a baby or a child young enough (special needs kids are the exception) to use a normal bathroom. That's pretty f'in young. Are there really people on this board that think that a child can have a truly memorable lane stadium experience at an age where they require diapers? Should Lane put in diaper changing stations in the stadium? C'mon lets be reasonable.

# | Starting QB decision today? - Fuente, Motley, Evans to address media after practice This. This right here is why I come to TKP. Never know when you're gonna get the inside scoop on some really juicy hokie goings on.
I have to commend this comment. Not often you see hyperbole taken as fact.
For cadence purposes, the FSU chant flows much better with "Fuck the Seminoles, Suck my genitals." Just saying.
When people walk up to me and say things "I'm going to get so drunk I won't remember this game", I need to buy a second ticket so I can leave at halftime and get shit faced" , when your goal is to drink so much you can't remember something your drinking too much on purpose.
I'm glad I wasn't the only one who noticed that. That being said, we had a few games that were shown and a lot that weren't too.
