HJ 96 HF 63

I haven't seen many.  i haven't heard anything about several of the teams.  Let us know your team's record, if you don't mind (and if you're really ambitious, let us know the results of the games as well).

LCM 7 HJ 1 and i really hope i'm wrong

i saw a projection of the top 5 backs coming out, and there wasn't even a whiff of him.

it's fine to sit wherever you want, if you can behave yourself.  the thing to remember is that acceptable behavior varies from which side of the gym you're sitting on.  the hecklers going over to the visitor's side would be inappropriate.  a fan going from the visitor's side to the middle of the hecklers on the home side is inappropriate.  for the most part, you should be able to sit wherever you want.  when a conflict arises, as long as administrators take control of the situation, it shouldn't be too big of an issue.  it's only when nobody steps up and takes control of a situation that serious problems arise.

dude, i saw him make a drive in this game, and i swear he was going 101 mph!

[quote name="Roll_Left15" post="316357" timestamp="1200477254"] He got a ticket for speeding....yes, I know he was going 101 mph, but hey people make mistakes.  It's not like he held up a guy in an alley somewhere (Maurice Clarrett) or punched a stripper in the face (Pac Man)!  He should just pay a fine and people should just let it go........ [/quote] i agree with you that the action was not on the serious end of the scale of stupid things that pro athletes do, but it was still pretty damn stupid.  If it gets dismissed, then no worries, but if it doesn't and he has to miss a game for a hearing, he deserves to get punished by his team. 

Congrats Nederland!

wow!  that's a heck of a result for PAM...

congrats, pirates!

a nice win for the brook!

wow

[/quote] well, this district really had 3 first place teams.  it wasn't like 2nd and 3rd place were way back in the standings.  but, you do bring up a legitimate point.  some districts are far more competitive than others... but there are very few in the state that can field four teams that deserve to make the playoffs.

whatever.  when i was vacationing in florida this summer i caught and released that shark's great grandpa.  :) all jokes aside, that's one hell of a shark.

i'm an HJ fan, not an OF fan.  i'm just saying that any visiting fan that makes the trip to HJ ought to be able to enjoy watching the game.  the HJ fans should certainly be able to sit on the visitors' side, especially if the HJ side is full, but they need to show enough class to be respectful and realize what side of the gym they are on.  Basically, if you're going to act like a buffoon, you need to stay on your side of the gym (I'm not implying that HJ fans did this, just stating a generality).  If you're willing to show class and be a respectful fan, sit wherever you'd like.  This thread isn't an OF/HJ thread, as Mwhizzie would like to make it.  It's just a basketball etiquette question.  BUT, if a group of OF fans had sat in the middle of the hecklers and acted a fool, Mwhizzie would've probably been the first person to tell them to move, and you would've been right to do so. 

maybe making specific rules isn't realistic, but having leadership at the game to make sure things don't get out of hand isn't.  i agree with you that you do not know how people are going to act before they get into the gym, but once they get there, and start acting up, officials should do whatever is necessary to make sure that everyone can enjoy the game.  if that means moving a few rowdy fans back to their side of the gym, then do it.  that's all i'm saying.  if someone from the opposite team is on your side but isn't doing anything to upset you, then let them sit there.  if they are rowdy or obnoxious, let the powers that be get them out of your hair.  it wouldn't take a lot to enforce this, and anyone who made a big deal about it could be removed from the gym.  i believe that a fan has a right to sit on the other side of the court, but i don't think they should be allowed to ruin the viewing experience of the visiting fans, even if they are cheering for my beloved hawks...

[quote name="Bobcat1" post="315558" timestamp="1200331121"] You can't make certain rules, for certain people. Either the home side sits on the home side or anyone sit anywhere.  In Orangefield there has never been a problem with that because the doors are marked who sits where. It's simple you just have to read.  I don't see a point in sitting on the other teams side?  Are you just trying to cause problems or trying to be offended?  I for one would stand before I ever sat on another teams side because I have respect for the other team that they don't have to hear my big mouth the whole game. [/quote] i think you can make certain rules for certain people.  take the OF/HJ game.  with all of the griping that was already going on, can you imagine if the hawk hecklers had spent the second half on the visitor's side of the gym?  it would have been crazy, and the administrators would've stepped in.  as for the quiet hawk fans, they should be able to sit wherever they want at a home game.  i think the flipside of this would be if some visiting OF fans had sat right behind the hawk bench and started heckling.  it would've been a bad situation, and somebody would've and should've stopped it in order to avoid a problem with fans fighting.  i think a lot of HJ fans sit on the visiting side because, even though the appreciate what the hawk hecklers do, it can be tough to watch a game if you're sitting near them.  as long as fans are respectful of each other, as they should be, it shouldn't be a big deal if you get a few fans intermingling.

for me, you should be able to sit where you want.  the only problem i can see would be if a group of hecklers wanted to go onto the opposing team's side. groups like that should be required to stay on their team's side of the gym to avoid conflict.  other than that, any fan who wants should be able to sit where you want... just don't get upside if you're on the other team's side and you hear some things about your team that upset you.

LCM 7 HJ 1 I remember when our games with LCM used to be close, hard-fought affairs. maybe HJ can get it together over the next couple of years and turn back into a winning program.
