re: Which is WORSE? Bandwagon fans or Sidewalk fans

Sure you would think that, you are a Bama fan.

Go over to the Miss state line and ask some Ole Miss fans about sidewalkers. Ask them about all the Alabama boys who are glorified ditch diggers who act like they are superior to anyone in Mississippi because of the Tide, even if that Mississippian is an Ole Miss grad who is successful enough to pay for the ditch to get dug.

I'm a Vandy grad who was born and partly raised in Mississippi, and have lived in Tennessee (obviously), Michigan, New York, Ohio, and North Carolina. These all present opportunities for meeting so-called sidewalk fans, trust me. UNC/Duke basketball are hardly less magnets for them than Bama football or UK basketball. Ohio State is...eesh. Attending Michigan is beyond the reach of a large portion of its fanbase. So argument from experience is useless here. I obviously didn't reach the same conclusion despite similar experience, which I think tends to put your position in a precarious state of being almost entirely personal.
