re: Our fan base really isn't that bad - a little perspective

quote:

---

Do all fan bases bash their team to no end and talk about how bad the coaching staff sucks and want the best coach in the history of their program fired when it doesn't happen every year

In short yes, the ones that care do. They are just as polarized here in Florida at the big 3 schools as we Tiger fans are. They are just as jaded. They sell or give away their tickets to the North Texas and Towson type games. They leave at the half of blowouts. They party too loud and at times too hard just like us.
We have become like the Little Johnnies and Little Suzies who's Soccer Mom keeps telling them how special and how different and how better they are.
See guys other schools have tradition other schools have rabid fans other schools have whiny arse message boards. You know what makes us a "better" fan base? We are Tiger Fans! We have better food at tailgates! Other than that our fan base is pretty much the same as the rest of the top 10-20 programs. We all dig us some college ball enough to yak about it on message boards when our boys aint playin'

I especially like how our fans get to leave halfway through a game, but when our team doesn't play for four quarters, the ones that left early bitch about the team.

You know perhaps if the stadium was full until the end of the game, the team would have that intensity through the end of a game, and perhaps they would be used to closing out opponents in the fourth quarter. Then perhaps, maybe just maybe, they don't give up long drives at the end of games..........
