Ace Frehley Gets It

[TPOKE]

Difficult to get away from politics anymore. I don't go to concerts or sporting events to get a lecture on politics. Regardless of their political affiliation, I pay them to entertain me, not give me their opinion.

TPOKE....the phrase I always think about when you see someone make a common sense argument about being apolitical is "if politics isn't your business," "then keep your business out of politics."

Personally I don't want to hear any athletes or entertainers political opinion unless we are face to face chatting. Otherwise STFU.....if people want to watch/hear about politics they can turn on CNN, Fox, MSNBC etc.

there have been many moments in time where sports and politics synergized into greatness

worthy of a thread all it’s own

Not to hijack, but was there for our game, still have my "blue" tee which I wear once a year on 9/11.

I was there as well, and even wore blue as I was in the lower deck visitor section. Can't say I still have that shirt though.

I too was in attendance, glad I was also in the blue section on the Aggie side - buying anything red would have tested my patriotism . I believe we lost the game. I seem to remember our running a fake punt on about a 4th and 15 play only to be tackled roughly 8 yards short of the line to gain!

Flew back out of Austin to Tulsa. So Mrs. Sierra spots what she thinks is a questionable looking middle eastern looking couple of dudes at our gate in Austin, just prior to boarding. I scoff and say this might be the safest weekend to ever travel in the US. Well low and behold, we're waiting a long-time on the ramp after boarding.....cop cars screech up to both sides of the plane. They board with police dogs, go directly back behind us a couple of seats and remove the two dudes my wife had worried about. Amazingly they ultimately ask all the plane to de-board and we have to re-check all our luggage again because they aren't sure which bags are the alleged bad guys'. About 8 hours later we arrive home.....I get an earful from the Missus - even to this day she wears me out about being so cavalier. Strange weekend in Aggieland post 9-11!

Ace says don’t talk about politics...then tells people to support Trump or get out of his country.

“Gets it”

Was also there. Miles faking a punt on the Poke's 25-35, game over.
Love Les though.

Bingo!

I believe dudes names matched some list that was extremely broad at that point. Apparently their tickets were purchased a few hours before the flight.....all this set off major alarm bells hence the huge response. Never heard anymore, so who knows.....
