Please, no fireworks

I'm sure this was discussed already, but I just now got up the stomach to come back to this board.

I don't want to ever see another G-D firework at Fouts Field. I don't care if we beat USC there to secure a berth in the BCS national championship. It's not worth it to have to watch them go off after getting our ass stomped by MTSU worse than we did by the Longhorns*.

*Yes, I know what the scores were. Save it.

But my kids like it! And that may be the only reason I keep coming back to fouts.

Ok fine I guess I can bribe them with dippin dots instead.

Don't watch them. Problem solved.

I don't. Do you not find it insulting that they go off after our team lays a huge steaming turd out on the field?

how is it insulting? the fireworks aren't a celebration for a victory, it's an after game event for everyone to enjoy. if you don't like it...leave before they start.

I was thinking how nice it was to be able to watch something than what everyone in the stands had just witnessed.

Believe me, I left WAAAYYYY before the fireworks started. Unfortunately I could still see them from my tailgate.

I'm pretty surprised to read these responses. When the fireworks start off after a loss, everyone I see/hear seems completely disgusted by it. Oh well, I'll drop it.

I like seeing them after a win but I think its crap to still shoot them after a loss.

The Rangers do the same thing - as do a ton of baseball and other outdoor sporting organizations..... there's much better things to complain about right now. Fireworks will not run off fans - all they can do is keep families around or give little kids another reason to encourage their parents to come.

I'm WAY more insulted by the games than the pre and post game activities.

Best reason for shooting off the fireworks (besides my kids liking them): a corporate sponsor is paying for them!

I say keep them coming. Who knows, there's always that outside chance they'll catch fouts on fire. (We are insured aren't we?)
