Where are some of the "big" ISUB fans? They are nowhere to be found.
If the Trees were 6-2 instead of 2-6, I could name a half dozen fans that would be prancing around here like peacocks.
Borderline same thing for UNI fans, but not as bad. However under 5k last night was weak. I could hear WSU fans taking over the low brass cheer (UNI version) late in the game. Sad.
On the half dozen fans...that may be true, but isn't it true of every team? Everyone has their morons, right? The sheer volume of WSU and CU fans here (and in the stands) helps to squelch their dummies...some of us don't have that luxury in our fan bases. I can't tell you how embarrassed I was to hear fans chanting BS at the Hulman Center on Sunday after an OBVIOUS travel was called. I understand being a fan and a homer...but there's a line there somewhere.
I understand you had to put up with silly (stupid?) comments. But it shouldn't paint our entire fan base that way, just as it shouldn't paint your entire fan base that way. If/When those people come back, rail them. Seriously. They deserve it.
I just don't appreciate the fact that some folks can get away with pretty inflammatory and degrading comments and others can't. It doesn't sit well with me. Besides, there are plenty of ways to make fun of my alma mater without personalizing it.
