Does anybody know of any fan base that roots for a good conference team when their team has a bad year. I know a few fans who have two sets of t-shirts. One for their team and one of a traditional power. We call these people Longhorn fans. Pathetic.

In the SEC they call them “sidewalk fans.”

I forget why.

Fans that support other teams cuz their team is mediocre?

We call them "aggies."

It is known.

These are front runners & bandwagoners.

T-shirt/Sidewalkers simply pull for a different school than the one they attended, or didn’t attend at all.

SEC members....go easy on Texas-Austin. We don't need a bunch of guys wiping their tears and blowing their noses wearing SEC shirts.

Just kidding. HORNS DOWN SEC NATION is gonna be a great calling card moving forward. #hornsdownsecnation

Horn fans love to talk on forums and post fake news on the Internet but this is the reality of their football program. And yes, we are talking about their program today! No living in the past Sips...you don't get that privilege as our SEC newbies. The taunting is just starting across all the pre-existing SEC teams. Earn you keep by shutting your holes until you can win 80% of your Big 12 games! And that's gonna be a serious challenge for Sark and team.

Fiance is a Lonhorn so I definitely have a few UT polos, now that they're in the SEC I may have to revisit that.

There is a version of that nationally.

Sidewalk Michigan fans are called “Wal-Mart Wolverines.”

Unless you're a graduate of two different schools, such as myself. However, I root for them both regardless if they're good or not. I ain't no fair weather fan.
