At the Kansas game, we had a couple of guys sitting to our left, different than the regulars that are usually there. It was, I assume, a father and son combo. The son was probably late 30's and the dad was probably mid-70's.

The dad was sporting a pair of binoculars and was NOT impressed with anybody ever standing in front of us. He complained throughout most of the first half whenever anybody stood. Typical West stands, blue haired complaining but in the upper half of the East stands, not something that has happened anywhere within earshot any of the other home games this season. He'd loudly say thinks like, "why don't you make it all about you" or "come on! The rest of us can't see." It was pretty funny as everybody around us heard him gripe but nobody even acknowledged he was saying anything.

He finally quit saying anything and just grumpily would fold his arms whenever anybody stood to cheer.

At one point, BYU had just earned a first down, and like always, the PA guy said, "that's good for another cougar, FIRST DOWN!" I was sitting to his immediate right and did the obligatory cheer with everybody else. This time though, I was holding my drink in my right hand and made the first down signal with my left hand, which was closest to him. He passive aggressively told his son, "isn't the first down signal supposed to be with the RIGHT hand, not the left?"

It gave me the giggles and I couldn't stop laughing for the next minute or two. The guys behind me, buddies of mine, started laughing too. Next first down I did the cheer with my right hand and they started clapping me on the back and congratulating me for doing it right, basically mocking the old guy sitting right there.
