Football seems to be more delusional. But our baseball fans are the worst. They boo anything that doesn't go our way. If a ball goes over the catchers head and the ump calls it a ball "BOOOOOOOO. Come on ump! Put some fricking glasses on!!!"

After Reading a few posts it seems like basketball fans are less delusional than football fans?


in the sec, football fans outnumber basketball fans about 1000 to 1, unless you live in kentucky.

the delusion is pretty much proportional to that.

check out a basketball forum in the acc or the big east and you will find sec football level delusional fans.

I don't think you can really divide the Gamecock fan base as 2 distinct crowds. I think Gamecock fans are generally speaking pretty realistic about both teams.

Our basketball fans are actually not really that delusional. It's hard to be delusional when you're expected to make a NC run. It would be like Bama football fans being delusional. It's much harder to do for programs like that.

Ae have a basketball team?...when Auburn put some good teams on the court in the late 90s, I went to the games. With the kickass new AU Arena, I hope to make it to some games this year. Thats the only way I know how to answer your question.

If none of the SEC cares about basketball then why is the arena a rabid wolverine pit when Kentucky comes to play? (Except for Auburn, they honestly don't ever give a frick about basketball)

Something that's always annoyed me.

It's because the media doesn't jerk off sec teams in basketball like they do in football. ACC fans are the sec fans of basketball.

The Auburn game is always the least attended SEC game of the year for UK. The fact that all of the UK fans from the Vet School show up makes it even worse.

Thats a long fricking trip for what amounts to be a guaranteed loss. We def aren't as passionate about it like yall, but they wouldn't have built a 94 million dollar facility if "we didn't ever give a frick".

Well, i'm not sure about 2008-2009 but for 2007-2008 we set the home attendance record average 10.8k per game.

It's in the Basketball guide.
