After out loss to USCe I could be described as "The Over-the-Top Meltdown Fan"

The SECCG loss however would be described as "The Single F-Bomb Fan"

But, normally I'm "The Superstitious Fan"

9. The Pessimist

This fan spends almost the entire game predicting that something terrible is about to happen. Long before it becomes clear that the game is going south, this fan will annoy everyone by coming up with increasingly negative scenarios that he insists are about to unfold. Eventually, his lamentations become a source of constant background noise, like a dripping faucet.

This will last until, inevitably, one of the other fans will threaten this person with physical violence if he doesn't shut up immediately. It will probably be the “Punches the Wall” guy. Everyone else will nod silently.

Loyal pessimist: Never leave the game no matter who we're losing to and no matter how much we are up by, I always expect us to lose in some heartbreaking fashion. WAOM

I'm the second. Unless my Spurs end up losing to these Grizz in some historic comeback. But with Bama, a loss is more understandable because they play in the toughest league in the country, coupled with the fact that they have a big red target on their back in consequence of recent success.

20. The Fan Who Manages to Maintain Perspective

Yes, this fan is disappointed in the outcome of the game. But he also understands that a game played by a collection of strangers is not going to have any impact on the truly important things in his life, like his health, his friendships and his family. Put simply, he understands that there are higher priorities in the world than who wins or loses a sporting event.

I am hopelessly optimistic. I rarely melt down, I do it big. (The UF game last year, for example).

I'm always looking at the bright side. Football is played 4 quarters for a reason. I hate people that start bitching in the 1st quarter.

Combination of 6, 9 and 10. Being an Ole Miss fan you kind of have to be a little bit of 20.

Pretty much sums up the entire LSU fanbase.

#11 This amateur analyst has exactly one page in his playbook: Furiously gesturing at somebody while yelling “What are you doing?” As the game goes on and the situation becomes more dire, this fan continues to zero in on somebody, anybody, to criticize. By the end of the game, he’s doing it during every play, every replay, and most commercial breaks.

Note that this fan will never answer his own question, because he actually has absolutely no idea what anybody’s doing.

I'm "The Fan Who Manages to Maintain Perspective" except when Kentucky football loses, then I'm "The Fan Who Gets Drunk or Sulks in a Dark Room For The Evening".

I’ve been watching sports for over 30 years and have never met this fan, but I suppose it’s theoretically possible that they could exist.

16. The Fan Who Suddenly Has to go for a Walk

This fan responds to adversity by removing himself from the situation. Sometimes, this will be accompanied by a hurried explanation. Often, he’ll just quietly get up and leave. You may or may not ever see him again.

If UK is losing in basketball, don't get between me and the door. I have to walk it off. If it's football or something else, meh. I'll stay around and watch. Even talk.
