Apparently, Virginia Tech's football program began fining players for rule violations. Good Bull Hunting got into the spirit of handing out fines too, but these are for violations committed by you, the fans. It's a pretty hilarious list that if were real, would either increase fan participation or could help pay for a solid-gold Johnny Manziel statue.
- $100 for fans that boo
- $50 for fans who leave during the Fightin' Texas Aggie Band's halftime performance
- $60 for visiting fans of opposing team not sufficiently impressed by the Fightin' Texas Aggie Band
- $25 for fans who do not "hump it" in a prompt and timely manner
- $50 for cellphone usage surpassing 1 minute during active gameplay
- $30 for bringing your own trough to pee in
- $25 for negative Yelp reviews of Kyle Field Concessions
- $40 for fans who are not classy
- $25 for students wearing neon-colored t-shirts
- $5 for jumping up and down to Sandstorm
- $10 for not jumping up and down to Sandstorm
- $3 for not participating in Aggies CAN
- $30 for wearing overalls
- $60 for wearing an overalls T-shirt
- $75 for fans who leave the game early regardless of score
- $35 for fans who hiss
- $100 for smuggling in Coca-Cola products
- $500 for GBH authors who apply for media credentials
- $1000 for a fan who doesn't uncover
- $12 fine for every student if the football team runs out of time.
- $9.99 fine per month for fans who bitch on the internet
Several of these stick out as my favorite fineable offenses. $5 for jumping up and down to Sandstorm, then 10$ for not jumping up and down to Sandstorm? At least there's a choice in what you're willing to pay on that front.
