As a Sooner season ticket holder living in Overland Park, KS, its embarrassing to hear the crowd boo the visiting team when President Boren is attempting to show class to the visiting university. I've got to tell you that I've stopped attending Chiefs games because of the ridiculous behavior of over-zealous and often-drunk fans at Arrowhead. However, I've witnessed far too many examples of morons in action at Owen Field as well. We sit near the Sooner Schooner, where the opposing team players often kneel to pray in the endzone prior to the game. I can't tell you how many times the same morons scream at these young men when they are praying. It just seems as though fans lose self-control when they get in a crowd... lets hope they don't treat their families the same way at home. Berry- totally agree with you on the sportsmanship issue.
