Attending a college and being a fan

  • craines27mc said...

    Not true, they're still the most popular NFL team which makes them the easiest to cheer for.

    Pats and Saints have been more popular of late. I've been a Cowboys fan almost my entire life. I'll stick with them even with Jerry Jones continuing to f it up

    that is a quote from a UM guy in another thread.... yea, so "only sparty's say that"

    Still butthurt over that one I see. Well, msu was at one time a small agricultural college in the cow pastures of East Lansing. Urban Dictionary lists it as the archetypal cow college. There is currently a Dairy Cattle Teaching and Research Center at the msu Department of Animal Science. MSU Dairy Cattle Teaching, Research, and Extension programs are conducted at three animal facilities. The primary facility is located on campus in East Lansing with a herd of 140 lactating cows and an equivalent number of calves and heifers. There's also the msu Dairy Club, the msu Dairy Judging team, and even an area of focus in mammary gland biology. So you see, there is plenty more to msu than binge drinking and couch burning.
    Finally, here's a great article on what they're doing with all that cow poo.

  • so i know im a little late to commenting on this page but i stumbled across it. so your saying lakers/yankees/cowboys/bama fans are all bandwagon fans. so me living in tuscaloosa half my life, more than half my family graduating from the university of alabama, i grew up on alabama football, but im a bandwagon fan. yes there are ppl who jump on what team is cool right now but every single team has those type of fan, even your beloved unc. so what im saying is you dont have to explain to anyone why you are a fan of a team bc its nobodys business but your own, as far as bandwagon fans who cares why dont you worry about your own team instead of everyone elses all the time. ROLL TIDE FROM AN ALABAMA RAISED BOY!

    Agree completely... the "if you didn't attend the school you aren't worthy of being a fan" is the most asinine, bigoted crap ever. There are fans of other sports who have never visited the home city of the team they pull for let alone attended a game but they are fans none the less. The "sidewalk, Tshirt," comments are about as relevant as those making them...

    Don't like Rammer Jammer? Probably because you just lost to Bama... Get ready to hear it again... and often...

    It's arrogant elitism, plain and simple.

    Maybe if your failure of a university had "t-shirt fans" they wouldn't have to take out loans to keep the lights on.

  • I don't really care who you root for but I will say I hate people that like the Lakers and Yankees (I mean they like both of them). That just screams bandwagon.

    The people that I hate the most are the people that say they are Michigan football fans and Michigan State basketball fans. No. That's not how it works damnit. Pick a school banghead

  • Teenagers are the worst offenders of this with pro teams. One of the few perks my 2 pro teams have is no bandwagoners lol.

    ??? I"m sure there are a lot of Michigan State students that are MIchigan fans... why would anyone want to cheer for Michigan State???

  • What about not being a fan of the school you attended? I spent 2yrs at UCLA, but I transferred to play football and completed my undergrad at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. My MS and PhD are both from University of Houston. I couldn't even tell you who the current coach of Cal Poly SLO or Houston is.

    It shouldn't matter at all.

    If you watch your teams through good and bad, don't switch teams when the going gets tough you are a fan.

    You aren't more of a fan because you attended your school.

    Good to know I haven't completed a fandom faux pas. My Bruins suck, even in basketball.

    Since when do you have to attend a certain college to be a fan? Did I miss the message? I have been called a bandwagon fan by multiple people in person and on the internet because I didn't attend my favorite teams school, I never have and I never will. Just curious as to what everyone else thought.

  • Why are there so many UM fans in here defending their fan hood? Seems strange... you guys self conscious or something?

    Just a bunch of wannabe's.

    Because Michigan fans have to put up with the MSU fanbase.

    Seems like we are the only fan base who has to deal with idiots such as yourself.
