| ? re: fan behavior when your team sucks
How many of you would get really turned off by rabid Bama fans who showed up at games with a big chip on their shoulders acting as if they expected to be SEC champions when their team was down?
Now that the loser shoe seems to be on UT's foot I think we need to establish the proper etiquette for fans of a losing team.
Should we assume the mien of Vandy fans by exhibiting a quite dignity accompanied by disenterest in the outcome of the game, or should we act like those Bama "reds" who whoop and crow about how their team will whip the s&%t out of a Top 5 AU in the Iron Bowl even though the Tide has a 5-5 record?
I just want to make sure we are all on the same page and we don't look like a bunch of fools as we make this transition into loserville.  |

Sorry, one bad season doesn't put us as the SEC's "loser shoe" by any means. | |
