Booing kids not becoming of adults

I vividly remember watching the BCS bowl in January 2010, i also VIVIDLY remember losing to Alabama 37-21. Being a die-heart Texas fan, I was infuriated! That year, i noticed this freshman name Garrett Gilbert. Although that game he wasn't doing so well, I was like "Hey, he might be pretty next year." Welp, it's next year, and I'm still not impressed. I went to UT vs. Rice September 3, 2011 SO pumped up I was ready to go and watch my team eat Rice alive.. Halfway through the game I wasn't so sure we were going to take that nights win. "Take Gilbert out!!!!!!" kept coming out of mine and all the other fans mouth. A week later Texas vs. Brigham Young University had me biting my nails. Gilbert continued to disappoint me, he makes me mad.--
Now I read this Editorial from the Austin American Statesman dated Tuesday September 13, 2011. "Booing kids not becoming of adults" Basically it was saying that fans are being to harsh on the UT football players, specifically talking about Garrett Gilbert. What?
"We understand sports, in general, can be a pleasant escape from real life. But we also believe sports should not be an escape from adult behaivor." 
"...It seems also to be taken for granted that adult behavior at University of Texas football games at times is beneath the level at which adults should behave." I have to disagree with these two statements, I think it goes to far to say that fans aren't acting like adults. Yelling isn't anything out of the ordinary at a football game. We have the freedom of speech and unless anyone is physically getting harmed, words are only words. I think this writer intended UT football fans to read it, maybe to tone it down. And I mean of course there are  times when people get into fights, and there are times when people get to drunk, But the writer chooses to defend theirself by saying that the crowd booing Gilbert is an act of childness. It's just not a good arguement.  I think the writer is forgetting that we are not talking about five year olds, we are talking about grown men who partake in a competitive sport and run over each other. The players know what is expected of them and they know the things people will say if they don't deliver. This is a dog eat dog world. Everybody gets critiqued, everybody gets judged. I just don't it is really a big deal to the players, this is football ya'll! If you can't handle the heat get out the kitchen!

Ex drug dealer executed for killing two near Dallas

The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans rejected the appeal of a Texas death row inmate. Steven Michael Woods was sentenced to death for the 2001 murder of two people just north of Dallas. Ronald Whitehead 21, was lured into an isolated road after making a drug deal and was found dead with 6 shots to the head and slit throat. Another victim, Bethena Brosz was with Whitehead at the time of the drug deal. She was found still alive after being shot twice in the head and a slit throat, but died the following day. Woods was given the lethal injection this past Tuesday, September 13, 2011 after serving a little less than ten years. Does this bother anybody but me?  Despite the brutal things he did to these people, I don't believe that we should kill a man, to prove killing is wrong. Don't get me wrong, he DEFINITELY deserves punishment.. But what better way than to just cage him for the rest of his life? I think serving a life sentence is much more appropriate than an injection that causes the "least" amount of pain. Wouldn't you rather have someone die in prison? Keyword-FREEDOM. Take his away, and it would cause a man more pain than any injection. Maybe that's just me though? My beliefs, call me crazy. I'd rather watch him rot!
