Other team's gear at USF games

[cmhatter]

I forgot to mention this after the UL win and it has probably been discussed before... I don't know if im the only one bothered by this. Call it a pet peeve.

heres the story:

I chose not to sit in the student section for this game as my parents weren't going to the game and I was able to use their club level seats. This is the first time I haven't sat in the student section since I began attending USF in 2006.

I was absolutely shocked at how many people I saw in other team's gear...

I am literally embarrassed for the people that do this... They just look like fools. If you are attending a game and you don't care who wins... WEAR NEUTRAL COLORS. 

To name just a few of the teams I saw at Raymond James:

TCU

Nebraska

FSU

UF (multiple people)

UM

Ohio State (multiple people)

Notre Dame

Virginia Tech

Maybe they'll have fun at the game and go out and buy some USF gear?

that would be good. i like bandwagon fans because of the money they bring in but... to wear other teams stuff when they aren't even playing??

it just dumb to me...

did not realize that there is a thread on not seeing fsu/um/uf gear at ray jay.

delete if necessary

Guys it's "college" football.  Hopefully they are supporting their school and/or alma mater.

I've gone to other college games and I wear some USF gear (usually a hat), because I want to support MY school, especially since we are still new, the more exposure the better.  I'll may wear a neutral shirt or something, but I'm not going to buy their stuff for one game.

Tampa is major town, unlike most college towns, you're going to see all sort of teams.  Just be glad they are not supporting the opponent.

The only problem I have is when you go to game of any kind and see someone wearing a completely different team in another sport.   :furious

I've worn USF gear at Ohio State and Notre Dame before.  I don't have a problem with it.  I do have a problem with doing the friggin' chop or gator thing at someone else's game, but not the gear.

I have a problem with it but understand that some people love football more then the teams that play it and forget to not wear other teams stuff to a game in which the team there wearing is not playing.

For example I'm a huge Dolphins fan but would never just show up to a Buc's vs. Saints game wearing Aqua and Orange... that would be retarded.

exactly... you would show up in a neutral white shirt or something like that

I wear my USF hat everywhere I go and that includes some UM games I have been to it. If that makes me retarded then so be it.

you are concerned with what shirt another guy is wearing?  I am concerned if I am going to use a dry seasoning rub or wet marinade on my ribs, priorities, you need them
