Terry, I don’t think that idiot fans can be isolated to the Southeast or the Big East. Nor can it be attributed to those “undesirables” who never went to the school. To be honest, I found that these local fans are some of the best at VT. Just because they didn’t attend doesn’t mean they can’t be great fans or have to go root for the NFL. Unfortunately, most of the worst fans I’ve encountered or heard about are the students. However, that is the case everywhere. Twenty-year olds and loads of alcohol are bad combinations.

Bull-Gator,

I saw that picture over a year ago and it’s haunted me ever since. I mean, it was sad enough that someone designed that costume for a video game character, but sad doesn’t even approach the amount of pity I feel for the kid who thought it was so cool he had to wear it.

32 – No doubt, though none of those can compare to the Doucheistan that is the vast immigrant population of Notre Dame “phans.” There’s more of them than all the bandwagoneers for the other schools combined.

Who needs a professional duck hunter, an Italian plumber and kart racer, a bad dude who saved the president, a ninja turtle, an airship flying paladin, an airship flying esper, an airship flying spiky haired kid, a cybernetically enhanced super human who specializes in running over english speaking aliens with a warthog, a jedi master and a sith lord? Anyone? What, you mean these aren’t life skills?

I’m highly qualified as an NFL coach of 30 undefeated seasons with 500 points a season average. Also, I have saved the universe with my jedi buddies from Malak and have saved the Jade Empire at least twice, and pulled off the threesome.

Hokies-
You seem to get my point, that all teams have some douche-nozzels for fans, mostly their non-alumnae fanbase. I can’t say that any school is immune to that, except maybe Hawaii residents or Alaska State University, if such a thing exists- that’s not bandwagonning, that’s just a lack of options.
I would have to say, though, that despite the legit population of Hokie nation, there are far too many emmigrants into the Hokie nation locally and they seem to be the most obnoxious that I have encountered in a long time. Va Tech and WVU are just as bad, just for diffferent reasons. Also really mind-numbingly idiotic are Alabama, Texas, LSU, and any Big East team’s fans that just started loving their local schools despite never stepping foot on their campus- or even worse, those Big East alum who never went to a game or owned any fan gear until the last couple years. Just like all the fucking ass-rape-horrible Boston fans lately…

Biggus Rickus, my entire picture of you and personality is totally and irrevocably shattered.

Well done, good sir.

Milhouse: Hey, kid: stop wearing your backpack over one shoulder. We invented that, copycats.
Shelbyville Milhouse: Uh, you copied us!
Milhouse: Step over this line and say that! I’ll kick your butt! [quietly] …at Nintendo.

I can’t find the mention of it, but I read once that a, I think Dutch, kid who had previously only used microsoft flight simulator to learn how to operate a 747 successfully tookoff and landed the real simulator (essentially the real thing) when given the chance. So who knows, maybe that shit works.

Terry… fair enough as I think that applies to every school’s bandwagon non-associated fans. There are a lot of Hokies around though… we’ve got something like 200,000 living alumni, plus the assorted children and parents, etc etc. And just in case you were wondering I am a bonafide VT alum. I’d say my fanhood is intense, but not obnoxious. I travel to a lot of away games so I appreciate being treated well as a visiting fan and I do my best to return the favor when folks visit Lane Stadium.
