Which one of these two would you call a real “sidewalk fan”…
#1. Fan of school “A” has never attended the school, had a relative attend the school, gone to a ball game, donated money or set foot on campus yet loves to talk bad about “that other school” and their fans.
#2. Fan of school “B” did not attend that school but has sent two children to school “B” one with a degree and the other finishing up and has attended many ball games and given money to the school in support.
Since neither fan went to the school they call their own would you consider them both sidewalk fans?

#3 Fan due to growing up in same locale but attending another school after serving 10 years in military due to family needs. Does this count?

I'll agree it's number 1. Can't stand those type.

Is this thread some perverted way of defending the nature your own sidewalk affiliation?

Fan B is not a sidewalk fan, but he's lower in the fan caste system than someone who attended the school.

Considering the source,
1. Auburn
2. Bama
Now, what's the context?

Both are basically the same.

I actually thought that fan #1 sounded like 90% of Bama's fan base. No offense to the real Bama fans.

Number without the setting foot on campus clause, it is easy to make a visit

He's not off to a terrible start. I can forgive the whole "Freeze was a HS girls basketball coach lulz" post he made. There have been much worse.

You do have to admit it is kind of funny that Freeze was just a high school girls basketball coach say 5 or 6 years ago.

Considering fan "B" made huge "donations" and took on debt, I would say they are in.

You can say that about the flagship of every state. I see that a lot in Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas, etc. Not only did those fans NEVER attend any of the schools, they've never been to college period.

I'm a fan of the Miami Heat. I've been to FL a few times, but only the Destin area and Panama City for a few spring breaks years ago. I haven't attended anything Heat related. Does that make me a sidewalk fan?

I like ice cream and long walks in the park. I am a fan of sidewalks...
