You say "adult" yelling at your family and than "low class" students. Was it an adult in the general seating or a student in the student section?????

You contradict yourself Baller. Either the students are hostile or they don't show up. Can't be both.

At least our students are of traditional college age. ;)

Give him a break. When making up the story in his head, he got a little confused.

He said he was yelled at by drunken students and when he was leaving. Didn't say anywhere that they were both students. Could have been two different groups of people.

Just an FYI for anybody that is new here:

DJA's anecdotes---Totally legitimate true occurrences that should be recognized as such by MVCfans readers.

Anyone else's anecdotes--made-up stories used to accentuate lies.

I'm not talking about the students being hostile. They, like most things in the Clink, never get heard. I'm talking about the general assembly of fans, like classy signs being held up away from the student section in times of defeat "We didn't lose, we're not from Wichita".

Another zinger with the age thing. Gee, we never heard that one before. Yes, every student in the student section is 35 years old. You nailed it.

The throwing was a male in his early 20's in the general seating (upper bowl area). I guess he may not have been a student but was with several other fans his age and I took them for students.

The adult was an older male (40's) who was yelling at my wife as we were leaving. Obviously, we were decked out in shocker gear but weren't talking to anybody and weren't looking for any trouble. My daughter was temporarily freightened. Just a bad experience.

Yep. If anything negative is tied in with Creighton, it has to be made up. It's inconceivable. Just like the deanthonybowdern poster. It HAS to be a WSU fan. No way would a Creighton fan troll or type like that.

Obviously, I completely made the story up.... Creighton fans don't sin right? You should really consider your attitude and demeanor. We all make mistakes.

C'mon. You and I both know that there is no single UNI player/coach that has received anywhere near the treatment in Omaha that Doug and Mac have received in Cedar Falls. Give me a stinking break.
