It is the Vandy administration that makes me puke.

There's a fine line between revering the past and being stuck in it. A decent percentage of our fan base zoom way past that line.

Ohio State fans have a tendency to be paranoid

Not all side walkers bother me, but the ones that are just all bama all the time and have never been to a game other than a-day and are always decked out in bama gear no matter where they go. I never thought it was a big problem when I was in school but now that I have a business it seems like my trashiest clients are the ones who are always decked out in bama gear 24-7. I've had them show up to court in their bama t-shirt and hat. I just hate that some of the most ignorant people I come across have to be hardcore sidewalkers.

I have a cousin like this.

I'm thoroughly convinced there are dirt poor Bama fans out there who honestly think their lives are significantly better than a bigshot doctor or lawyer who's a Vandy grad/fan, 'cause titles and Bear and stuff. Maybe it gets them through the day, but it's a sad and weird way to live your life.

Unreal expectations. Must win every game and win them by 10 or more. But when we are up big at home the fans leave halfway through the 2nd quarter.

Excellent post.

The problem I have with some of my fellow Tigahs is their knack for throwing in the towel too quickly. One loss, or a close win, and they give up.

These people are a small, yet vocal, minority.

Too many to list, but seeing the tide box and toilet paper crap makes me want to punch a hole through my TV.

A maddening percentage of our fans don't know shite about football schematics or strategy, and I'm convinced that a large portion of them have never watched a football game that didn't feature the Hogs playing in it.

Overreact to too much shite, never know when to stop listening to idiots (Finebaum, Clay Travis), and too many sitting down on 3rd down. GTFO of the stadium if you're not going to scream your face off on 3rd down.

Georgia fans are the only ones I am aware of that litter and mess up their own campus when tailgating. its not as bad as it used to be but only because the university got really aggressive in providing additional disposable waste cans etc. Normally folks just pack up their stuff and take it with them rather than destroy the campus.

Soccer. They try to call it a sport.

Or the older students who couldn't care less about football that buy them, only to make money by selling them at the highest price (to UGA or UF fans) instead of letting other students that want to go to the game have the chance to get the tickets.

On one hand, I hate the older bunch of our fanbase who think winning 8 games is the greatest thing because they were used to only winning 3-5 every year back in the day.

On the other hand, I hate the younger fans (including myself sometimes) that get upset with 8 wins and forget our terrible past.

I hate how ingrained the WAOM attitude is in our fan base. We're so used to seeing fricked up shite happen to our teams that people panic at the first sign of adversity.

The Younger Mizzou fans are serious jackoffs(35 and younger)

It's why in Big12, MU was always voted as worst fans, yearly.

I've seen it many times in the flesh, we have some really bad ones.

LSU has seen a dramatic rise in campus litter over the past 4 years. So much so that the administration has charged extra money for parking to help pay for trash pickup.

The campus looks like a war zone after a Saturday night game.
