The fan called him on and wanted to meet him in the parking lot.

I can't tell if this is real information or if you are a jester, sir.Aggie in Boise wrote: ↑January 20th, 2020, 6:41 pmThe fan called him on and wanted to meet him in the parking lot.
Re: Grootfaam fan interaction
I had a family member sitting by the fan that was removed. The fan was shouting many obscene things at the team, including racial hate based language. Roche immediately turned and challenged the fan on the hate filled racial speech. Roche then went and told security what was said and the fan (and later his wife and kids) was immediately removed. Props to Roche for standing up to a bigot and standing for his teammates. Love the guy and how he represents USU and the team. I have had many interactions with Roche and he is a high class dude!

I've had the opportunity to get to know Roche a little bit as well. Definitely a good dude!IdAggie wrote: ↑January 21st, 2020, 11:15 amI had a family member sitting by the fan that was removed.

Re: Grootfaam fan interaction
Glad it was addressed, and that Grootfaam handled it so well. Seems like a great kid. The fans were really good to me and my family at the game, but they had all left by the time they had anything to be excited about... so who knows how they would have been.

Re: Grootfaam fan interaction
Surprising that this happened. I've always found Boise fans to be passionate supporters of their team, but really great to be around. When the truck on down here, or when I've made my way up there, I've not had a negative interaction with their fans, and I might have deserved it a time or two.
Granted, I also look like I could come from Idaho, so...

Re: Grootfaam fan interaction
We had some ok fans in front of us at the football game, very loud very passionate, but then we had some drunks behind us that wasn't very fun to be around. the one got kicked out before the first quarter was over, and the others left. then it was ok.Real Life Aggie wrote: ↑January 22nd, 2020, 9:23 amSurprising that this happened.

Re: Grootfaam fan interaction
As much as I hate Boise State, we should all be glad they are in our conference. They boost our conferences football rankings and give the MW a good rep. In basketball they are usually solid and raise our conference strength with a decent record.tipitup wrote: ↑January 22nd, 2020, 10:29 amWe had some ok fans in front of us at the football game, very loud very passionate, but then we had some drunks behind us that wasn't very fun to be around. the one got kicked out before the first quarter was over, and the others left. then it was ok.Real Life Aggie wrote: ↑January 22nd, 2020, 9:23 amSurprising that this happened.

Maybe we should pay them 4 times more than anybody else too.ThunderAggie wrote:As much as I hate Boise State, we should all be glad they are in our conference.
