I sort of remember that at PSU football games in my youth(late 70s thru the 80s), PSU had a tradition on not booing the visiting team when they took the field. Am I misremembering?
Also, the student section at the women's vball game on Friday night took a different path from booing when Iowa State starters were announced. There was no booing at all. The students turned around and faced the other way(with their backs to the court). I find this as an answer to the booing the visiting team. I think it just some good old college fun(I am sure some will find it disrespectful but whatevs). Also, I recall at the 2005 OSU-PSU game the student section at Beaver Stadium did the same thing when the OSU band took the field. I have seen other student sections actually bring newspapers and pretend they were reading the newspaper when visiting teams were announced.
There is just something about booing I don't like and I am pretty sure it is from attending PSU football games back in the day. Please tell me I am not losing my mind in my old age?!?!?!?
