From CFN "We"

What do you think of this?

I found this question interesting and it applies to the MAC.

Last week you got into the worst fans, so who are the best fans? – NF

A: Fans of teams that suck. It’s easy to pack the house with 100,000 bodies when the program is a powerhouse. How about the hearty souls that show up in late November for a Ball State – Ohio game when it’s 33 degrees and raining? The best fans have to be the die-hards at places like Baylor, Buffalo, Duke and Temple. They know their team isn’t going anywhere and they know they’re probably going to see a loss when they come out on a Saturday, but that one time when their Bears beat a Texas A&M or their Blue Devils upset a Clemson is more satisfying than most moments any fans of the powerhouses will ever know.

There is quite a bit of truth in that...when the upsets do happen, it is a joy that is beyond compare.

Go Baylor Bears!

Post by Ineedbotox »

Yea! I love that article. My husband played football for Baylor & we go down for most of the games. I've gotta agree they are horrible, but when he played, they were still in the Southwest Conference & they were always contenders. Now it's pretty much a race to see if they can come in higher than 12th in the Big 12.

We didn't go down for the A&M game last year, but we heard it on the radio. My tough guy husband actually cried because he was so happy they beat A&M. That was the one team he never beat when he was there. It was awesome!

Sic em Bears!
