From Noah Lombardo, junior psychology major
All of this "uncover" business is getting way out of hand. On Saturday, I couldn't even count how many times people screamed it at people around me. After a while I told them to shut up, even though I wasn't wearing a hat. Since when is uncovering during yells a tradition? I can understand taking your hat off during the National Anthem or during Spirit, but is it really "respectful" to remove your hat when yelling "beat the hell outta UAB?" I even heard a story about a guy who tipped off the hat of a guy sitting in front of him. That's just flat out wrong. Sometimes I feel like people care more about others uncovering than the score of the game. If you want to take your hat off to yell, go ahead, but if someone else doesn't do it, don't scream in their ear and definitely don't start cussing at them. Let's take the focus off of the hat on the guy in front of us and on to our team on the field.
