I REALLY don't think that's the takeaway here. As I see it, four possible outcomes, if we make it back to Frisco in the future:

1. Streamers remain banned. JMU fans still sneak SOME in, but don't throw them on the field or at the opposing team/fans. No issues.

2. Streamers remain banned. JMU fans throw MORE streamers on the field or at the opposing team/fans, leading to fan ejections or penalties against JMU.

3. Streamers are again allowed. JMU fans don't throw them on the field or at the opposing team/fans. No issue.

4. Streamers are again allowed. JMU fans go crazy and throw them on the field and at the opposing team/fans. Streamers subsequently banned again.

Of those possibilities - I'm betting 1 is most likely, and I'd be disappointed by 2. I'd also think keeping streamers away from the opposing team's bench at Bridgeforth can only help the chances of streamers again being allowed in Frisco.

Obviously JMU loves streamers, but we should be good sports and respect opponents and hosts who do not.

So... your ONLY joy attending the game is throwing a streamer? You get NO joy from watching a game? Of all the NCAA policies and practices to complain about, this one is very low in my book.

I don't understand what all that has to do with my comment. I'm upset JMU parroted the lie that we could get penalized for throwing streamers. It was a lie. We threw thousands of streamers. No penalty, no ejections, none. JMU should have had some nuts in the conversations with the NCAA BEFORE the ban. By all accounts, they acquiesced with zero fight & didn't stop there. They actively fearmongered the fanbase in emails/FB posts/tweets.

I most definitely agree that people shouldn't throw them at opposing teams. That's something you learn as a toddler. Don't throw things at people. Separate argument.

I did have an overeager field security guy try to take one from me. A person on the field threw one back into the stands after the touchdown (I only noticed 2 fall onto the field after our TD - good job fans) and this guy on a power trip comes hoofing over from 20 yards away (the 2 nearest guys didn't have a problem with it).

guy: "Give me the streamer"
DN: "What? What streamer"
guy: "Give me the streamer"
DN: <empty hands> "I don't have streamers"
guy: "I watched them throw one at you. It's at your feet. give it to me."
DN: A lot of it had unraveled in the toss back to the stands. So I start picking up the unraveled paper. Let a little more unravel for balled up lots of streamer effect, and tore it off out of his view, and hand him a big wad of unwrapped streamer.
guy: "Where's the rest of it"
DN: "That's all there was"
guy: "you sure?"
DN: "go count something"
guy walks away

I never got to throw that streamer I fought so hard to protect from the garbage. Err maybe I did at the end... I don't know. The biggest bummer to me was that I brought more streamers home than I packed to take to Texas

The comment I made about the NCAA was in reference to the security entrance screwups not streamers. There were different policies in force depending on which gate you went in. I have a major problem with that. While I was unhappy about the streamer ban that was not what I was referring to. If I was unclear my apologies.

Had a great time at the game overall, just annoyed that getting in was a hassle.

Go Dukes!!

Power trip? You intentionally broke the rules. Albeit only once cuz you couldn't score.

Actually someone threw the streamer to him! Deez never said he threw one on the field, so there was no rule broken there...reading is tough.

I'm a section front-couple-row veteran. I Always throw streamers behind me.

Reading is tough, what he said was that someone threw streamers "Into the stands. " My guess is that he was in possession of streamers given his previous posts.

Sure streamers were banned, and I was in possession. What a bad ass right? Take me to jail.

In Montana it's illegal to have a sheep in the cab of your truck without a chaperone, of which I'm confident grizdouche is guilty of.

grizdouche likes to dress his sheep up with a wig, hose and heels...fools most of the other griz fans enough he can keep his "girl" in the cab.
