Fans Of Other Teams - A Story Of Nerds

[weownfsu]

I was going to threaten to fight all their fans, but my application to porst was denied.

 

[zellerdog]

ive yet to see a cheap shot. or a beatdown.

ive been to quite a few away games.

fights? yeah.

 

[nwFL Griz]

I feel opposing fans don't need to be to comfortable.

I apologize, but this is a terrible thought process. Unless you think we can sellout every game by ourselves (we can't), then it is imperative that opposing fans feel comfortable coming to games. Now, they should not feel comfortable about the chances of success for their team, but there is zero reason a fan should feel uncomfortable attending a game.

You're kidding right?

Try going to Gainesville or Tally as a Hurricane and you might understand the animosity we feel towards opposing fans.
They make it tough to just get to the stadium. Once you get in good luck finding a guy selling drinks or dogs.

It's called home field for a reason. You give the opposing team **** and their fans.
How dare they even think they can come here and have a nice relaxing experience.

I might be just a 48 year old, old school type of fan, but I don't believe any opposing fan should leave sans gobs of spit hanging from their faces or without fear in their eyes.

Your response perpetuates the stereotype of our fans.

Give em **** about their team, fine. Heckle them, fine. No spitting, punching, kicking, biting. Unless they start it, then unleash ****.

 

[Cans4life]

It's football. If you can't take a little sh*t talking from opposing fans then you're watching the wrong sport.

 

[Notsince1985]

Tech's gameday atmosphere is pretty tame and family friendly overall, which is why they freak out when coming to Miami. Its not like you can take most of my fellow Tech alums to the Carol City flea market down the street from Sun Life to get faded up and pick up some new 12"s for the trunk. I know this because I tried.

I was always treated really well, and got along great with the GT fans (the students were ****s, but what students aren't ****s?) when I went to games in Atlanta, which I was kind of surprised reading the GT boards. GT fans are acting like a bunch of women.

Seriously. I'm not advocating violence, but when the FSU student section chants "**** MIAMI" or wears T-shirts that say the same thing, or when I go to Gainesville and 70 year old women (or are they actually men with rat tails?) flick me off, I don't really care to be hospitable to opposing fans when they come to Miami. I'm not going to go out of my way to be an ***, but I don't really care if others are (as long as there is no violence).

 

[GTPete00]

Without resorting to violence, fan stereotypes can work in the home team's favor. You would never want the away team to be able to feed off the energy of their fans in your stadium, so you intimidate them into sitting on their hands.

Being polite for the sake of attracting more visiting fans is laughable.

It's not a stereotype if it's true.

Listen, I have no problem with opposing fans when I'm at their stadium.
They can be as rude, as crude and as denigrating as they care to be. That's home field advantage, but be prepared for payback when you come to our house.

You young guys are too P.C. This is football it's not a chess tournament.
I once went to the Blockbuster Bowl when FSU played Penn State and booed both teams all game long wearing a Canes shirt.
I was one of the 10 fans who used to go see our basketball team play at the Knight Center and sat right behind the opposing bench and needled and cursed at them the whole game.

That is what we are supposed to do. Try to make the game as uncomfortable as possible for the visiting team and their fans.
If there wasn't a single opposing fan in our stadium I call that a success.

First off, how the f*** do you know how old I am?

Also, I think the definition of uncomfortable might be the difference here. My definition of uncomfortable is based solely on someone being worried about their physical well-being. If you want to just generally be a ****, fine. But people generally aren't "uncomfortable" just from people yelling or booing, unless they are pussies. Maybe that's what these GT guys are, I don't know. My issue is, fans should not be afraid to go to Sun Life due to threats of violence. They should be afraid to go to Sun Life because they know the atmosphere is not going to be an easy one to achieve victory in.

The game is played on the field, not in the stands.

 

[CanesGotSWAG!]

To those of you that think it's cool to be ******** to visiting fans:

It's a football game, not an opportunity to display your inability to handle adult beverages, to display your bad manners and immature bravado. Grow up.

Yawn.

 

[JackOAT]

As a student at GT, I find it funny to see this type of **** coming from them. I'm getting Clery-Act texts every other day about students getting robbed at gun point on campus.

Couldn't resist the opportunity could you? Does your mother know you're online again?

Crimes of opportunity. Nerds carry lots of electronics. You should have seen campus before they tore down Techwood Projects across from North Ave before the Olympics. Tech wasn't much for the soft suburbanite back then.

Grimy, but lacking the flava of Little Havana. **** I miss the OB.

 

[AboutTheU05]

LMAO, if I could go to multiple games at WVU without being worried about a scene from deliverance then anyone else should be fine going to any college stadium.

How can I tell how old you are?
Fairly obvious.

So the fans don't make a difference?
You are showing your naïveté once again.
Go watch that Seattle-San Francisco game again and tell me fans don't make a difference.

I played series 2 indoor volleyball for a team in Italy during the late 80's and our first game was at our rival city.
The 1st play I got knocked out by a D battery thrown from the stands. Didn't have 1 bit of wit until the 3rd game.
Home field means a lot.
Teams were scared in The Orange Bowl. I mean real scared and not just of facing Miami. When you had thousands of rabid fans screaming curses and threats from like 15 feet away all game long, that tends to unnerve even the heartiest soul.

Fairly obvious? I guess not, since I'm in my late 30's.

I never said the fans don't make a difference, matter of fact, your reading comprehension sucks, probably residual damage from the battery to the head. I clearly said the opposing fans should not have to fear for their safety. That is all.

Have you seen this happen in Sun Life often? The whole point of this thread is that the transparently racist, sheltered fans WTH is referring to invent this threat in their own minds. Their expectation that the game is going to be some kind of f**king pogrom is completely unrealistic, so I have no sympathy for them.
