2-1 vipers. Had a trail fan behind my family last night she was the most classless fan of an opposing team I’ve ever witnessed. Ringing her cowbell in my son’s ear every 30 seconds. Breaking off about every little thing including how bad our fans are. Took everything in me not to pipe up….Sure felt good to turn around and clap at her when we scored 😄

I was behind that lady! Where you the couple chugging beer while feeding your obnoxious kids donuts,pop snowcones etc. They were so wired on sugar they were yelling and gyrating around. They were the ones who were classless, Get your stories straight! No wonder you signed Anonymous! You should have signed Karen!
