Im a Philly fan....all ppl think about us is we r evil & booed Santa, but I could name WAY more terrible things that have hppnd in othet cities but somehow our reputation sticks....0

Right there with you, G...
I kind of think it's funny that fans from opposing teams are afraid to come to The Linc or Citizens Bank Park because of us Philadelphia fans...and then I think, "That's how it should be!"
Throwing snowballs at Jesus was an act of indifference...or just drunken stupor. But you can't tell me that Philadelphia is the only place that stuff happens.
Besides, if it weren't for Philly, we wouldn't have the classic Rocky run up the art museum steps with that amazing song playing in the background!!!0 -
I went to Penn State. Probably don't need to mention the heinous acts of one and the moral failings of a few that have tainted the students, alumni, and university's reputation.

I know a lot of football teams consider the University of Michigan their rivals, but we don't consider them ours. Our rivals are (1) Ohio State and (2) Notre Dame. In general, I wouldn't even consider Michigan State a rival, although lately they've actually been better than us. I am assuming now that we got rid of the mistake RichRod, we will return to our former glory of whomping MSU with regularity.0

Me too... I'm a south jersey... philly fan..... and we're deemed 'the worst' fans. Not true. We're passionate, but no more than other fans. I've seen a *kitten* ton of crazed fans on other teams.0 -
die hard cleveland fan.......cant stand when nationally cleveland as a city and people are considered losers because the sports teams lose.....northeast ohio is an awesome place to live0

University of Tennessee Volunteers fan. Big one. Most people think we are a bunch of rednecks... Okay, we might be, but we're fun! Hopefully, the team will stop stinking this year. We've had a huge mess with the coaching and recruitment in the last several years, plus the SEC has gotten very tough. Double whammy.
GO BIG ORANGE.0 -

MSU has beaten us the last 6 or so years in a row I believe. That doesn't make them a rival, that makes them a better team in recent history than us. OSU had, until last year, also been on a decent winning streak against us, but that rivalry goes back a lot further than 5 years. We flat out sucked for about 4 years, that doesn't make every team that beat us a rival.0 -

I'll never think of Tennessee fans the same after the crying about Lane Kiffen.
Then again Kiffen really did you wrong.
And the jerk wouldn't even shake Beamers hand after the chik bowl. No class.0 -

Kiffen is a whiny *****. That whole debacle was a mess. It was a huge huge huge mess.0 -

Ugh, I know. I just hope he breaks a leg or something and fails at USC (not necessarily in that order).0 -
Broncos fan! I dont know that we have any misconseptions, or I just never paid attention!0
-
Philadelphia fan here. Enough said.0
-
Steelers fan here. Most people think we're all just awesome. Oh, wait, that's not a misconception...0
-
I am a Yankees fan. Need I really go into what people think about us?0
-
Packer Fan here....I'm thinking most people think we're all drunk rednecks.
I'd say that's probably true for about 60% of the fans (and hell...of the people who live around here!). Beer and Brats are 2 major food groups in the state of Wisconsin!0 -
I'm a Tennessee fan.... pretty sure most think we are all inbreed or redneck in the least ..... I can play a mean banjo:ohwell: !!!0

49ers die hard, and I don't really care what they say about the 49er fans.
But Eagles fans...yeah I am sorry, your reputation is 100% merited from numerous misfortunes I have experienced at your wretched stadium. To take it a notch above what raider fans are capable of doing is not something to be proud of.0 -

Michigan hasn't beat MSU in football since Mike Hart called them the "little brother" in 2007. I, personally, think of the MSU v UM game as more of a rivalry game these days that UM vs ND since ND hasn't really mattered since about '06 but historically, yes, that is a rivalry. I agree that OSU and UM is a rivalry, it is The Rivalry. The Greatest Rivalry in Sports.0 -

I still am, and always will be, proud to be a Nittany Lion.
I am just about to read the report (shakes head).0 -
Im a Philly fan....all ppl think about us is we r evil & booed Santa
I think its evil that you support michael vick.
Oh trust me, not many support Michael Vick as a person. As a player yes but 75% of people dislike the guy. I don't support him as a player or person. I went from a die hard Eagles fan to someone who rarely watches an entire game. Once he leaves I will watch like it is religion again.0 -

This thing with vick..he did his time, fair enough...But the league shouldn't have allowed him to play. Vick would have been idolised by whichever team he went on to play for. It's just poetic justice he ended up in Philly.0 -

THIS IS WHY I LOVE YOU BLUE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am a Dallas fan and I couldnt agree with you more on how those eagles fans treat us when we attend a game.. Its sad when you cant bring your son to a game because he is called an *kitten* for wearing the team jersey that HE supports ---not to mention he was a child! Eagles fans lighten up !0
