[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 390445, member: 265"] I'm a sidewalk fan too. My dad was a Navy flier and got killed by one of the new jet fighters right after WW2 (the ejection seat didn't work). So my uncle-in-law took over some of his duties. Uncle Don was a former Tech track star and general BMOC. He got me and my brother Tech sweaters and rat caps and took us to games pretty regularly until he moved. By then I was hooked and I've remained a fan ever since. The general redneckness of Ugag fans also played a role. I'm a former football player and I take the game [I]seriously[/I]. Getting drunk before a game and being obnoxious to those around me has always struck me as lacking respect for the effort made by the players on the field. Besides, I enjoy watching how plays develop. You don't find too much of this at Sanford Stadium. But this, I think, describes the difficulties we have drawing sidewalk fans in. A lot of them are like Ugag fans; all they want to do is gloat about how good their players are and talk about "dominating" the other team. This, frankly, I can do without. [/QUOTE]
