The only time I was ever pelted with golf balls in the OSU band was sitting in the stands in Norman during bedlam (Always fun having to get dents repaired in your tuba because of stupid fans). Schools definitely need to do a better job controlling their crowds, and the OSU crowd has gotten increasingly hostile in recent years. When I was younger Stillwater had a rep for being welcoming and classy for visiting teams, and I don't hear the same anymore.
