[QUOTE="forensicbuzz, post: 75892, member: 198"] Fandom is not solely defined by standing in the stadium all game long screaming your head off. It's about having an irrational love for something and expressing it. I'm about as die-hard a Tech fan as there is, but I'm not going to go stand in the 90 degree heat for 3 hrs when I can see the game better from the comfort of my den. I hate crowds (a little claustophobic) and can't stand being in direct sun for long periods of time. To go to these games in August/early September aren't any fun for me. If I had tickets, they'd be in the section where I could watch from inside too. That doesn't make me less of a fan. I enjoy the tailgate, the comradery with other fans, but I stay away from the things that totally sapp the enjoyment of gameday for me. There are many ways to show your [B]fan[/B]aticism. Besides, when they do something stupid, I want to swear and throw something. That's much better done in the privacy of my own home. When my kids were younger, my wife would take them away on gameday (and that included basketball). Not all fans are defined the same, and I tire of the stereotypical die-hard who stands and screams for 3 hours condescending to others who don't find that an enjoyable way to watch the game. I absolutely love night games at Tech in the late Fall. Not a better venue to watch the team I love play. (Boy am I going to get it. Bring it on.) BTW: this response was only promted by SSTOM's comment, not in direct reply to his post. It's been something I've been biting my tongue on for a while. [/QUOTE]
