Quite surprised at the amount of hate 1GGY is getting. He has a legit point yet people just call him names because they don't have much of an answer.

Lets be real, no bull****... If you're from Ohio you're going to 'support' the best university in state. Same thing whether your from Alabama or Texas.

Even if you have ZERO affiliation with with the university you support you'll still support them which is strange but understandable. I'll give people who live in states where there are no pro teams a free pass though, because in their eyes they're supporting the university that represents their state best.

The thing that makes me CRINGE the most is losers who went to a university but does not support them in sports and supports the biggest and most best university in the state instead. Its like dude, do you have any respect for the university you went to? If you take your college sports so seriously why didn't you just go to the university you support in college sports? That annoys me the most. Kind of find it sad and pathetic. Just look at how many Ohio State or Michigan University 'fans' there on here who didn't even attend either of those universities. Why aren't you supporting your alma mata? You spent thousands and thousands of dollars attending X university, why are you walking around in another university's football jersey?

Because people have other situations, goals, priorities in life that are sometimes greater than going to a University whose team they support so they can appeal to random elitists on the Internet.

Thats fine, I wouldn't expect someone to go to a university based on successful the university's sports teams are - that'd be silly, I just don't understand why someone would support a university they didn't attend over their alma mata. I understand people taking pride in and cheering for the most successful university in your state, thats fine, we all want to see our local teams do well, but remember who your alma mata is and don't just disregard them just because they're not competing for national titles every year.

[feardafronfz3]

So once you turn 18 and go to a different college you must drop your allegiance to the school you've supported your entire life? Hmmmmmmm

I understand both sides.

But most people don't grow up fans of smaller division 1 schools as kids.

Most people in Ohio grow up Ohio State fans. If they were a true fan of OSU, they wouldn't be able to override their feelings for a team they've pulled for their entire life because they ended up at Akron or Kent State.

I would much rather have a conversation with a person who was a true fan of OSU than a person who goes to OSU and missed the game because they had better things to do.

[NMH]

i go to penn state, not a fan of the team, what do?

[slyguy354]

why the phuck do you give a sht about who cheers for your team or any team

you insecure brah?

[jimbogr]

Agree only because 99% of the time Texas t-shirt fans are retarded as fuk. If they understand football, follow recruiting and don't bitch 99% of the time then i'm cool with it.

[Mafiafolife77]

Every year we get one of these threads.

Every damn year.

Congrats on being that guy this year brah.

You really surprised brah?

This is the same dude who says he doesn't give a sh!t about college sports, thinks their dumb, etc. yet has racked up 2 pages of posts in the Sports section talking about.....college sports. OP = BC02.

LOL! I phucking love that duck. Seriously, I hated college football until now.

Brb best mascot
Brb best uniforms
Brb Ducks > NCAA

[1GGY]

Not sure why everyone is upset. I stated an opinion that I felt strongly about and I get flamed.

[feardafronfz3]

OP, serious question (serious)

Let's say someone was born in LA and has been a fan of the Trojans since birth. Watches all of the games, knows the players, etc. However they don't have the grades/can't afford USC's tuition so they must go to another school

Now let's take some rich snob who lives in NYC who has never seen a USC game and knows nothing about their program and was just rejected by NYU. This person has USC as their second choice because LA is basically the west coast NYC in their mind and they like that type of atmosphere. So this person decides to go to USC

Is person #2 automatically a "better fan" because they actually go to USC even though they have no interest in the team, athletics, etc?

[FARVIN]

I agree to a certain extent. If someone who didnt go to their "school" continues to give me sh+t if their team beats mine, then it has to stop. all I say is "what year did you graduate from _________ again? and they stfu

[Los_Diablo]

Seriously. I'm tired of all these "fans" cheering for Wisconsin/USC/Texas/Bama when they didn't even attend the university. Nothing more degrading to a student/alumni IMO. I'm sure people who cheer for their team that actually went to the school would feel the same way.

So that's all fine and dandy OP, but what about those of us who either only ever attended a two year college or a D3 school or just never went to college at all?

I mean yeah I do get your point that it's odd seeing a guy who attends Florida State cheering the Long Horns, but how about my point?

Not everyone chooses their school for the sports teams. Maybe someone is a Tide fan for instance but attends Stanford because of the prestige of the school? Maybe someone wears the colors of the university of Florida while he sits in the classroom of texas A and M because their engineering program was too good to pass up.

And no I have never met anyone who was upset that I cheer the Iowa Hawkeyes for instance even though I never attended. NO ONE cares about **** like that and in no way ever feel degraded.

[Los_Diablo]

From the area/local. Or in a case like yours (small markert) from the state. I hate seeing "fans" from miami cheering for the lakers and vice versa, but I can understand a guy from connecticut cheering for the yankees or so. Nomsayin'


but for college teams, go to the school before you cheer for them. this "i didn't go but im a fan" sh*t has got to stop.

You mad I'm born and bred in Iowa and a Sf Giants fan since 1987?

You real mad.

[Los_Diablo]

re: Pro teams

having to root for a team based on location is bullshyt.

As a kid, i was obsessed with the cowboys. That obsession is still alive today. I don't have to be from texas to be a true fan.

The definition of a true fan to me is being loyal and sticking with your team, and that team only, from day 1. Doesn't matter where you're from.

thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiissssssssssssssssssssssss sssssssssss

You already answered yourself.

Because you don't go to a school for what's on the field. You go to a school for what's in the classroom.

[Beasly3333]

Yeah totally bro!

I've been an Illini fan since I was born because my dad is an alumni there and is a huge fan also. But since I go to Southern Illinois University for 4 years of my life I can't still be an Illini fan anymore. Those 4 years are much more important than the 23 I've spent following the Illini. I'm a fan of both so f*ck off.

I agree being a USC fan from Maine is stupid but to each their own. IMO it is also stupid to like different Universities for different sports. BRB I'm a Duke basketball fan and Alabama football fan from Seattle, Washington.

[*DH*]

Brb moving to Oregon so I can go to University of Oregon and pay out of state tuition regardless of their programs, just so I can be a Ducks fan. Brb I have a micropenis.
