How delusional is your fanbase?

Generally speaking, how delusional or out of touch with reality is your fan base (SEC teams only)?
As an LSU fan, I think we're the opposite of delusional. Generally speaking, our football fanbase is the most negative and pessimistic I've seen in the SEC. Not much has to go wrong for the sky to fall on us.

Until yall are winning. The delusion between Nov. 5th and Jan. 9th was astounding.

Honestly its a tricky question. On the whole, every fanbase has the full spectrum. For UGA, I'd say there are more overly negative than super positive (but we've got a good number of those as well.) On the whole I'd say we're somewhere in the neutral zone, mildly delusional if you will.

We're completely rational. Very realistic.

Let's see....
We fired a coach after one losing season out of six.

Batshit! If we ever do win the SEC/NC some will be screaming we could beat the Cowboys! And I'm a huge hog fan and alum but also a realist. We are not to AL level and consistently not LSU's either. But we are gaining, ever since the MOTHO was fired.

What is a "fanbase"? 
Posted on 3/7/12 at 11:00 pm to siliconvalleytiger
Delusional, possibly. In denial a lot of the time, more than likely. I know they are similar, but we have a tough time accepting how bad things are sometimes,

We're kind of delusional but we ok with mediocrity which is worse

Our fan base isn't delusional. It's either confident as frick (basketball) or pessimistic as frick (football) or indifferent as frick (baseball).

Most realistic fanbase in college football.

Sorry to tell you this, but your fan's delusion runs extreme in both positive and the negative.
The majority cannot find that happy medium. Either your team will rule college football, or you want the heads of the coaching staff, AD, and even players. It is the same in their rooting for the NOLA Saints.
Our AU fan base can be quite homerific even in the middle of a 30 point arse whooping.

Isn't this part of being a fan? Even when losing, doesn't every fan base dwell in a "when we win the lottery" mindset? When winning, don't we all say - "I told you so"?

I know exactly one delusional Gator fan and I think he's just plain bat shiite crazy.
He claimed we were going to beat Bama and LSU even when Brantley was injured. I told him he was crazy. He denied it. Guess who was correct.
