Untrue. My being a football fan has nothing to do with punishment, but rather the success I got to enjoy in past seasons. Being a part of something. I know you're just being a curmudgeon dragging football into a basketball thread to be you, but, we're not all cynical curmudgeons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine's really got nothing to do with past successes but it is part of something, just being a fan, regardless of success or failure. I'm in a different situation than most of y'all because the fandom doesn't come from any ties to the school. Maybe some feel they're forced to be a fan because of attending USF and when they suck, are extra butt hurt about it. Here's a revelation, though .... nobody's forcing you. If you mentally/emotionally can't take the bad with the occasional good, gtfo and save the wear and tear on your psyche. Come back when/if they start meeting your expectations.

Awesome! Thank you for the support of a program in need. Hopefully the program turns things around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a Pirates fan, became one in 1970 because a player was drafted off my father's team. They proceeded in '71 to win the World Series. That certainly cemented my fanship to last until today. And I very much enjoy reading about that team and that series. I'm not so sure if I became a fan in 1970 and they struggled to win games for 30 years, much like today's team, I'd be that strong of a fan. I don't think I could ever eliminate the importance of winning and its ties to being a fan. That's almost weird Trip. It doesn't mean I wouldn't support the team as I made my first Bulls Club/Athletics donation before football happened. But perpetually watching losing teams with no value placed on winning might be something other than a fan, maybe a superfan or fanbot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
