re: Worst kind of "fans"?

meh. If someone went to Middle Tennessee who cares? They may have an Grandad who went to Tennessee and an Uncle who went to Bama but always thought UK had cool school colors growing up. That doesn't account for the fact a lot of people just like to root for a winner.

Bandwagon gonna bandwagon. Personally I can't fathom it because I grew up the son of a die hard Old Ag and married an Ag but I came to grips with bandwagoners after living in Austin for over a decade. At first it would make me angry but then I realized Texas is just the "NFL team" in this town and 90% of the casual fans move on as soon as Texas starts losing. It's hilarious to see some of the kids in my son's class who have parents from California that last year wore Texas gear and this year wear Johnny Football stuff.
