Bad Boys - Part IV

If they just threw in the towel....

Eric Phillips52 said:The very second those gates gave way, our security staff all scrambled toward the tunnel under the West Stand. I guess they were so terrified that people were tripping over one another, just shoving and pushing to see who could make it out first.

Our security? You mean the Black and Gold Army's security? Are you even paying attention to what you're typing? These aren't the same "security guards" we saw at the Rose Bowl a while back—those guys dressed in markers with credentials, snatching banners right out of people's hands before running away themselves. Seriously, don't try to drag us down like that. ☕

Eric Phillips52 said:I was sitting just two rows back from the fence and those famous gates. The game was basically over—nothing left to focus on—so we were just messing around, singing stupid songs and heckling the security guards. There were maybe 30 of them patrolling the West-to-South area, just waiting out their shift. After we poked at them a bit, those guards actually started clapping, flipping us off, and acting all cocky. A few of our guys, honestly just out of pure boredom and wanting to stir the pot, ended up taking the gate down and smashing it. Look, it wasn't some organized attack on you or the cops—we were just looking for a laugh. You can tell because half of us didn't even rush the field; we just stood there like, "Okay, the gate's down, now what?" The second those gates hit the ground, your security guys scrambled into the tunnel in the West stands like their lives depended on it. It was a total mess—they were tripping over each other just trying to get away. The riot squad—about 30 of them sitting right by the cages in the West—saw the gate go down, dropped their shields and helmets, and moved in to settle things. I don't think anyone actually thought an attack was happening in that moment. And you guys? There were maybe 20 or 30 of you under the North stand, cleaning up the flags you'd gathered in the hallway. When the gates went down, some of you grabbed your gear and bolted, some left stuff on the floor and ran, and a few people realized we weren't even targeting you, so they just stayed put and finished the job. Bottom line: it was just messing around, nothing deep or serious ☕

Honestly, nothing beats a high-energy drum sprint. It’s easily the most intense part of the whole show.😁

You guys always do this—it’s like your standard operating procedure at this point. You take every little thing, every random "move" or joke, and you blow it way out of proportion until you've built this massive, legendary myth out of absolutely nothing. It's honestly wild how much you overhype everything.

Look, let’s be real here—nobody is actually leaving anything behind like some kind of "transparent" trail, and that whole "making a quick getaway" thing is a total myth. Nobody just "expressly flees" the scene and disappears forever. Every single person who decided to bail? They all ended up crawling back eventually. It's just how it works.
I mean, let's be real—those transparency reports were basically just being compiled by a bunch of clowns. We're looking at an average age of maybe 17 or 18... total joke.

We're looking to fill two spots for our OS session—so if anyone happens to have 🙂

Nobody left any signs behind, and nobody made a "tactical retreat." Anyone who left just came back later.
Besides, those protest signs were mostly grabbed by kids, probably around high school age...

Just shut up already. You're being exhausting...

Never seen anyone move that fast while carrying drums before 🤣

Anyway, this whole debate started two years ago and now we're back at square one. What's everyone thinking? 🤷

Everyone in Indianapolis!

Nobody left any banners behind, and nobody made some sort of "express getaway" either; anyone who actually bailed eventually just showed their face again later on.
Besides, those signs were only ever picked up by the real losers, mostly back when they were around 17 or 18 years old...

Top Gun: Yeah, honestly, I really 🤣

Top Gun: 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

silverbear38, you were probably actually in Miami when it happened, so you know for sure, right? Or did some friend just tell you about it?

This topic has been dragged through the mud more times than I can count. Look, I’ve already laid out my firsthand perspective on how things actually went down. At no point did I claim this was some massive, coordinated operation or that we were some unstoppable force of nature. It was just a bit of relaxation and messing around during the appearance—some funny reactions from the security guards and you guys holding up signs. That was it. Stop putting words in my mouth and try reading with a little more nuance. See you all in Indianapolis!

now even they aren't real fans😁

Jonathan Cook42 said:even they aren't hardcore fans anymore😁

honestly, those were just some exchange students😁

copperharbor02 said:You were probably actually in Miami back then, silverbear38, so you'd know firsthand, right? Or maybe just some buddy of yours gave you the rundown?

No, it was actually through a friend of a friend—my uncle's buddy was there, and he's the one who told me everything.🤷

Look, my old man is the absolute best, and my sisters and I are a wild bunch. Attacking someone just because of their heritage—something they have zero control over—is pathetic. Americans were, are, and always will be. At the end of the day, it’s about knowing who you are and owning how you feel.
First you act all tough, then you start whining. 🙂

What are you guys even talking about? If we’d actually stormed the pitch after ripping those doors off—assuming the security didn't bolt first—we probably would've torched the whole stadium along with everything in it... we could have easily hauled away the entire perimeter fence back then too.

But hey, I'm glad we handled things the way we did—fewer bans that way—even if it would've been a wild ride.
And let's move on from this topic.

and there's a lot to say about that topic

Indianapolis

Oh, come on... if you wanted to, you would've... but you didn't. You knew you wouldn't make it out of Miami in one piece if you'd actually set the stadium on fire and stuff.🙄

Look, Charles Ward6, don't embarrass yourself with posts like this.

That damn fence is back at its absolute peak performance again.
