But it's another to constantly put all other teams down because you happened to go somewhere else. I mean, I played in college for awhile and as an athlete I don't even feel the need to rub it in the face of every team we beat. When athletes do it, it is poor sportsmanship. When fans do it, it is indeed obnoxious. |
i think there is an understood line though... at least there is for me... OSU is good.. they know it, i know it.. no mystery there.. so i feel comfortable insulting them b/c they'll be right back in it always... where as I never get all fired up when we beat Kentucky or whoever the flavor of the week is b/c they really never do get up so that part is insulting to somebody who is down...
like i (gasp!) sometimes actually root for FSU to win and be good again so i can feel comfortable bashing them where as now beating them next week is almost expected and isnt as fun to bash them...
