Fan Bases That Stand out from meeting them in person (Good and Bad)

[penguinpower]

Curious to get the thought of people on here. You can't include the rabid fans on this board though and has to be from actual experience. I used to hate Pitt fans ever since I went to a Pitt game where YSU was playing and ran into rude fan after rude fan that told me YSU was a JV team. Most of the people were annoyed they were playing us and many of the younger fans had little respect for the fact I had kids with me.

They were blown off the map by Clemson fans. The are THE WORST. I think it has something to do with the fact that all of the uneducated hill billy/rednecks that live around their isolated and deliverance type of town don't have a pro football team to support, so they all support Clemson. I can't get over all of the drunk fighting that occurred and their rudeness to my family because I was rooting against them. I had to leave the game early because I was concerned about my families safety at the game and their safety on the ride back to the hotel.

When my 8 year old daughter cheered for the other team, one 20 something kid told her to shut the **** up. I responded to him by saying hey kid, that isn't necessary have some respect she 8 years old and can cheer for whomsoever she wants. The kids parents then got involved and told me that I had no right to tell their son what to do. Then I told the kids parents (since the kid probably din't know) that Woody Hays was right, Charlie Bauman did have it coming and then all hell broke loose. Other opposing fans around me started to get hit with empty beer bottles (because all of the Clemson fans were drunk and throwing them). The police picked out opposing fans in certain areas and escorted them out of the area. Security told me there were so many drunk Clemson fans that they were concerned taking one of them out could start a riot that they were not staffed to deal with. That was the first time I've ever heard of anything like that.

Needless to say, it was probably the worst fan base I've ever been around.



Now I've met a lot a really good fan bases, but I was particularly impressed with Jacksonville State's fan base. People know football and there is a lot of hospitality. I've also always like NDSU's fan base as well. I've always had great experiences with NDSU's fan base.
