re: What exactly is a sidewalk fan?

Awful explanation. I know many people who went to LSU on full ride scholarships.....no association afterwards. Only went to LSU because it was free. That exists at all colleges. Therefore, I claim they have no dirt in the game.

By your definition, a parent (non grad) who put 3 kids through LSU at $25K a year each, is a sidewalk fan despite true LSU investment.

I would rather sit next to that guy .......
