I'm sure this is just a biased view from my section (17), but some of our fans were embarrassing.
1. Booing the stanford band for mocking us : they obviously wanted that reaction and we gave it to them. If you were offended, then you were taking them too seriously. Just a bunch of liberal, drunk whack jobs trying to get under our skin and it apparently worked.
2. Standing during the game. I will stand for 10 hours straight to watch the hawks, but when your collective section is sitting, it becomes a problem when Joe blow and his girlfriend are the only ones standing and they happen to be 2 rows in front of you. Obviously, during important downs is a different story. I would love to just stand, too, but I am conscious of those behind me and considerate.
3. It's pretty embarrassing when I have to call out a woman in front of me for standing while trying to "catch up "with an old friend while the hawks are driving down the field in the 2nd quarter (on our end, nonetheless! )
4. This is even more particular, but the idiot next to us was booing everything in sight (stanford band, rose bowl hall of fame class, saying "f shaw, f the refs, etc.) It made us want to move sections.
5. Leaving the game early. To each their own, but I can't see leaving the rose bowl early because you're disgusted and want to go to a bar or back to the car to tailgate. I'll have plenty of times to do that back in Iowa if I want.
I'm sure I have a biased view based on my section, but I was disgusted and embarrassed, at times.
