re: How Come - The Difference Between Tiger Fans and Saints Fans

Just my opinion but generally college football fans are more passionate about their team than pro fans. If the Saints lose I'm OK that evening. If LSU loses I have several bad days ahead of me.

This is a good point. It makes sense for college football fans to be more passionate. We have a vested interest in the team, we can relate because of either being students currently, hoping to be one one day in the future, or being alumni. (Yes I know there are plenty of fans who do not/did not/will not attend LSU) When I talk about LSU sports I find myself saying "WE" a lot. Not as if I am on the team, but damn it I am a Tiger.
I am a Cowboys fan so when I talk about the Cowboys I actually find myself saying "they" instead of "we". Because I am simply a fan, I have always been one, always will be, but I am not a Cowboy.
