Do you fly your car flags after a close loss?

Driving back from Tallahassee on Tuesday, I noticed quite a few Florida State vehicles on I-10 with their car flags flying.

I think it's great to be proud of your team's performance and your university. I just always treat my flags as a signal I'm going to the game, and as a victory gesture on the way home.

What do y'all think?

Fly them on the way there and back. No matter the score. They were on my car even after the UF game...

and if your car breaks down on the way home, you might find a friendly fan willing to stop and help!

I wrap my ticket stubs in the flag and bury them in the back yard.

i like having mine up when i rob motels.

quote:

A robber stole an undisclosed amount of cash during a holdup of a Pinhook Road motel this morning.


quote:

He was last seen operating a silver, four-door midsize sedan with two LSU flags mounted on the windows and a large LSU decal on the driver’s side door.

I think its okay to show a little humility when your team loses.

I might as long as they aren't broken off while i'm at the game as has happened in the past.

I recently moved back to BR from Tallahassee. One thing I noticed while I was there, FSU & FAMU fly their flags year round ... never really understood that.

car flags aren't limited to football...

FSU is pretty good in baseball, basketball, and football....so I can see waiving them year round. I do for basketball season

I fly them to and from road games. People that leave them up all the time are called Southern fans.

I always take 'em down on the road home. I feel like they are a sign for the 5-0 saying "HERE COMES THIS GUY THAT"S BEEN DRINKING SINCE 6AM" even though I usually quit drinking when I go to the game.

Fly'em no matter if we win or lose. It is more about showing support than anything else. If the question is "Are you embarrassed after a loss" the answer is no.

I always fly mine, there are a lot of SEC fans here on Okinawa and maybe 10% are LSU fans. So I always make sure to let them know that we're here on the island and who they need to bow down to when we pass by
