Rave Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 I was just wondering about something and figured there are enough fans here to clear something up.If you cant name at least one player on the team you claim and you never watch their games.....can you call yourself a true fan?

Rave Posted November 29, 2013 Author Share Posted November 29, 2013 LOL SR, I was referring to my brother, the FSU fan.....he gets mad when I call him a logo fan. Well, thats what he is, a fan of the logo. He cant name the QB (or any other player on the team) and he never watches them. He just started keeping up with the score of their games this year (big surprise). He does the same thing with the Raiders. He cant tell you a thing about either team other than the score from ESPN.

SaintRay Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 I got a brother in law who said he was looking at the schedule and saw the Saints were gonna play "bye" and asked where they were located. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like people that get all excited about a heavy-weight title fight and go to a bar to watch, but haven't the faintest clue about boxing or even whose in the fight. I'm surprised he even knows they're ranked #2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet, he pokes fun at me because I never miss a UGA game or Dallas game when I can help it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DD: Objective Elite Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 My cousin is like Rave's brother. He insiosts that he's a huge 49ers fan, but only watches them if they're on a local TV broadcast(ie no NFLST, no sports bar, etc)He can name players on the team, he just doesn't care to watch the games if it eans he has to come out of pocket.It should be noted however, that he is, in every sense of the word(s) 'a drug addict' I'm sure that has something to do with it as well.

Trouble Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 How many say NO if its their women sitting next to them saying they are a fan of your team?Saying no to her means her saying no to you later than night.... So yeah there is circumstances where you can be a fan (if your female) not knowing anything about a team except the cool colors that match her shoes.If you agree, your obviously happily married.If you disagree you arent married and that might be 1 reason why your not.

They might know a few players and i still call them a logo fan. (nice word and I'll be using that instead of a fake fan). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest fibonacci Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Ive been a fan of UGA through Goff, Donnan, and now Richt.....and I will be a fan til the day they bury me. see i only rally know ritch. And uga fans. Even in that stupid forum here (college forum), only know ritch. I like mizz the most, but root for my Georgia just cause my family likes them. Lol. So in a way in some kind of"not true fan". Yet i know i can list more players from uga then over half that forum here for college. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet i know i can list more players from uga then over half that forum here for college.I only go there around signing day. I get tired of the "fire Richt" posts. Georgia hadnt won a SEC Title in 20 years before Richt became the HC. Now that UGA regularly competes for the SEC East and SEC Titles they want to fire Richt because he hasnt won a BCS Title. That just makes no sense to me. So, you want to roll the dice on not even competing for the conference title anymore just to see if another HC can get you closer than Richt? I dont get that.As far as the naming players....I could probably sit here and name most of the starting offense this year without looking them up. However, after having 8 freshmen/sophmores start on defense it would be difficult to name them. I watched every game this year other than Kentucky, Georgia Tech, and Arkansas St.As for Mizzou, I liked them BEFORE they were in the SEC. Im more of a logo fan of them though. Dont really keep up with them, but I know that school always competes and puts out some good players (Weatherspoon, Maclin, Richardson). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like them more in the SEC because they finally get to play better teams, and I feel they could always live up to it. I had a feeling about Texas as well, but I did not see them being as good. There is now a lot of games I like to watch when it is SEC vs SEC. but there is still a few teams I SMH on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rave Posted December 8, 2013 Author Share Posted December 8, 2013 UGH...my brother didnt even know that FSU was playing today.....then when he overheard me say they were winning and will probably be in the BCS Championship game he cheered. WTF? These types of "fans" should never get to celebrate a championship.....EVER. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JabooAlwaysWins Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 If you don't go atleast 3+ losing seasons with a team then you aint a fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rave Posted December 8, 2013 Author Share Posted December 8, 2013 If you don't go atleast 3+ losing seasons with a team then you aint a fanSince 1992 UGA has had 3 losing seasons.Since 1992 Dallas has had 6 losing seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rave Posted December 8, 2013 Author Share Posted December 8, 2013 she/rave, you are being slightly clever there, you failed to mention the three 8-8 seasons in the mix as well...we all they are basically losing seasons as well. or as the media calls them non-winning seasons!...WFW is just sayin' JackClever? How, if we were adding in .500 season Id have to add in 1 or 2 seasons for UGA also. The point is still there. Ive gone through MANY bad seasons with both of my teams. Thats the only point that I was getting across. The particulars werent all that important, but thanks for trying to pull a debate out of your ***.
