It\u2019s supposed to be for safety and things like that. It\u2019s a culture that\u2019s been accepted to a point and it hasn\u2019t changed. And eventually somebody\u2019s going to be seriously hurt, unfortunately,\u201d he said, while also stating that one member of his staff was hit by a pocketknife.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Back in August, the Big 12 athletic directors voted 15-1 against fans throwing objects onto the field- Tech AD Kirby Hocutt was the one that voted in favor. As part of the ruling, fans are given two warnings, before 15-yard penalties take effect. On Saturday, Tech was penalized twice in the homecoming win- one time in the second quarter, and once more in the third.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Coach McGuire even said true Red Raider fans would abide by the rule- especially if it affects Tech\u2019s field position in games.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">\u201cWe\u2019ve got a new rule in this league and we know the rule, and we didn\u2019t follow it, and we got penalized tonight, two 15-yard penalties, and he was frustrated on that side,\u201d he said. \u201cWe got to be better. We got to do a better job. We got to find a way to do a better job as a whole, all of us, and we will. We\u2019ve got two weeks to have a better plan and get the point across of what the rule is. Because it\u2019s going to catch up with us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">When Tech hosted Colorado last November, Coach McGuire addressed the crowd and told fans to stop throwing objects onto the field.<\/p>\n<p class=\"copyright |\">Copyright 2025 KCBD.
