A little taste of ESSC

Sorry about the orientation. I've never taken a video on my phone or youtubed before. No apologies from me for the one instance of profanity in this video, over which I had no control.

Otherwise, ESSC was going OFF THE HOOK!

See embedded video from UNT90 Grad below.

I can't seem to embed the video. Link

Yes, please stop whining about cursing. I spent some time at a college down in Baton Rouge that some of you may recognize. I can assure you that you couldn't sit within a stone's throw of the student section without hearing a naughty word come out of the purple and gold mass. It's college football, not church camp.

Problem is, that doesn't make it right. I hope we are never compared to the fans at LSU. I agree with 90, believe it or not, keep it in the bar and out of the stadium.

We should never be like LSU except for all those times that we totally want to be like LSU.

I remember Candlestick Park being one of the most rough and tumble, drunken shitshows in all of major league baseball when I was a kid. They hadn't yet stopped selling beer after the 7th inning, they allowed fans to bring their own alcohol in, no such thing as a smoking ban, and lord knows what other substances were going on in (and under) the bleachers.

So the Giants designated a section of the outfield as the family section. No alcohol, no smoking, no cursing. Any violation of these rules was violation of the license granted on the ticket, and grounds for ejection from the stadium. The fans on both sides of the matter loved it. The families with sensitive children got their own section, the drunks with the left handed cigarettes got theirs.

Let UNT do something similar with the wing section. Turn it into Disneyland North Texas. The alumni side more or less polices itself. Then let the students be students, and be thankful that they actually came into the stadium.

Don't bring little kids to bars or student sections. Problem solved.

Bars. Whatever. I'll agree.

Student Section. Now, we're on to something... and it's not about little kids. It's about the fight song and how it has stood the test of time as a song that represents our University, yet for some reason, 2012 was the perfect time to alter the song, in an immature way??

I've said it a million times: If you want to inject an expletive into a song, why not 'fly like a MF'n eagle'? Why not, 'Hey baby, I wanna MF'n know if you'll be my MF'n girl.' I don't care. I bring my kids to all of the games and I don't care about the cursing... I can take care of parenting my kids without demanding that no one within earshot cusses. It's going to happen. That's not the point.

Just leave 2 songs alone:

The Fight Song

The Alma Mater

2 songs. That's it. Please!
