The 15 Worst Things About Beaver Sports

Abstract:
After four years of intense research, observation and analysis, I have come up with a hypothesis (Ron Gray would be so proud): There are times when it sucks to be a sports fan. Whether it's the pre-game tailgater, the people behind you at game or the post-game discussion, sometimes it sucks....

Student baseball fans unite! I totally agree! It's sad to see school team sports become a money making event instead of playing for the school and students. And we as parents sit and wonder why the stadium is so quiet nowadays as compared to a couple of years ago when students could sit anywhere without security breathing down their necks. Player families really appreciate the seats in the stadium but the students should have a place also. They are the ones that cheer on their teams and make the noise that lets the teams know that they are supported. So much for that thought.

From what I remember at the start of last year, the students got upset about the lack of seating at Goss and were allotted more seats. Then, after receiving some very good seats in the grandstands, the students didnt' show up! So guess what happens, it works better for OSU athletics to give those seats back to people who actually want to show up and will spend a couple dollars in the process.

ALright, and this pains me to say...that was probably the best article you've ever written. Not only was it spot on, it was pretty damn funny. Good work
