This is a dynamic of sports that I find idiotic.
I like the home team, but for heaven’s sake, it’s just a game. Those who act like this make every fan look like a toothless brain-dead knuckledragger.
What makes the team from twenty miles down the road, public enemy number one, when they show up?
Seriously... grow up folks.
“Seriously... grow up folks.”
Especially you OU fans.
It’s good having a team to hate, it’s better than having a team you love. It’s unlikely your team will win the national championship but it’s likely the team you hate will not win it. And for OU fans, anytime they don’t win the championship, it’s a vast conspiracy. Therefore I get that gratifying feeling every new year knowing that OU fans are in great agony and distress.
If we could just figure out how to generate half the passion for fixing Washington as these people display over a GAME we would have the job done inside a week!
It might have something to do with the "cheers" repeatedly indoctronated into the young skulls.
Most cheers sound a lot like Ling Lings fight song! "Fight fight kill kill fight fight fight" Repeat ad nauseum.
Hey if der Furher can get a whole nation to do bat spit crazy salutes every time they fart, it's not that improbable for the idiotic violence impressed upon the youth to carry over into adulthood.
About every two years, some players get busted for working $50,000/year no-show jobs at local car dealers. The fan base bats drunken eyes in toothless heads with wonder, and pawns the family trailer for next season's tickets.
LOL. If this had happened with, say, UMass playing Ithaca, there’d be 20 posts politicizing this.
But because it’s between 2 red states, it’s just what it is, drunken idiots beyond stupidity.
