Amen to you shutting the hell up.  Wait til the Northwestern-Northern Idaho thread when Northwestern gets beat down.  Oh wait, there won't even be one because people don't even care enough to make one.

Ha, Spiff. How many times must I tell people that NU insults are a waste of your time? Being a Florida St. fan means s*** in a case like yours. You are a fan because, well, I don't know. You sure as hell didn't grow up there and don't go there. I stuck with a f***ing team. I'm not a fair weather fan who can't handle when his team loses 1 f***ing game. I'm not saying you are a fair weather fan, Spiff, but the point is that I have no respect for people who are fans of mega powers. It's gutless in a lot of cases.

I didn't grow up in Chicago either but I like the White Sox. So-the-f***-what. It behooves you not to take this any further and test my mettle. Living in a team's area makes you a good fan? Then why is everyone always ripping on Cubs fans. If they live in Chicago, they must be great fans, right?

 

Part of being a fan of a good, really good, team, especially in college football, is living and dying on every play and every game. I can deal with this loss, believe me. I still bleed garnet and gold, my sig aint goin anywhere. I almost got in a fist fight tonight with some total stranger who ripped on FSU.

 

You tell me what's more gutless; putting yourself out there on every minute of the game to be crushed, or resigning yourself to another 6-5 season and laughing off a loss like nothing.

Anyone can be a fan of a 0-2 loss team every year. You entirely missed his point. He never doubted your loyalty, just questioned why it's there.

No I don't think anyone can. It's a whole different level of expectations. 10 wins means nothing compared to that 1 loss. Not everyone could deal with that.

 

You want to know why it's there? I'll tell you. 1995 Orange Bowl against Notre Dame, CBS in the pregame runs a story about Warrick Dunn, the 5'9" running back for one of the top programs in the country. It turns out that Dunn's mother was a police officer in Louisiana and was killed while on duty while Warrick was in high school. Dunn raised his brothers his and sisters like a father, the father that he never knew. He earned a scholarship to FSU, but still made the drive back to Louisiana often to check on his five siblings.

 

Right then I knew that was a person I wanted to root for. And I have continued to. From being drafted by the Bucs and now on the Falcons, he remains my favorite football player of all-time. He drew me to the Noles, and I got behind them after all the memories he provided (ie: the 1996 game in the swamp). If you want to question my roots further, go ahead and hate. I don't have to prove s*** to anyone.

Warrick Dunn is one hell of a person. I remember a story ran about him in which he bought single moms with not a lot of financial stability fully furnished homes, and handed the keys over, changing their lives forever. I was sad to see him leave the Bucs.
