that our fans - at least those who attend the games - are as lame as they come.
I attended the game, lost my voice from yelling and stayed until the clock ran out. I bleed burgundy and gold. I will be a fan in good times and bad!

I think the College fans can be pretty bad, but those are just drunk students. Philadelphia fans are drunk single guys.

Been to lots of them. I go to the Terps games all the time. They do not sell alcohol at NCAA events. I understand that there is plenty of drinking during tailgating but you hardly see issues due to drinking at the college games. Additionally, security has tightened up so much at the games that it is nearly impossible to sneak alcohol into the game.
The NFL on the other hand offers alcohol before, during and after the game. No comparison.

I sat directly in front of a group of Eagles fans yesterday and frankly, I was ashamed to be a Redskins fan. They were a quiet bunch and cheered for their team the way fans should. They didn't curse at anyone and tried to stay out of trouble. Despite their efforts, they were cursed at, had beer poured on them, and were harrassed the entire game. Of course that is natural when you come to enemy turf, but when the Skins' fans started leaving with 2 minutes left and within one score of tying the game, it proved that Skins' fans have no heart while Eagles' fans stuck it out the entire game. Why do Skins' fans leave early like that? Do we really care more about getting home than cheering our team on and possibly seeing overtime? I'm ashamed.
AMEN to that, 2/3rds of the satdium emptied out when there was 2:16 left on the clock and we had the ball in a one possession game . . . i was down right embarrassed to be associated with people like that . .
eagles fans didnt seem to obnoxious, there was 3 eagles fans sitting a few rows behind me and one was jawwing it up with a skins fan, eagles fan started to do the "after the game im gonna ..." stuff, i made eye contact with the skins fan's girl and she seemed scared so i turned around and said to this 20 something year old long haired eagles fan "yo an 80's metal band called and they want their hairstyle back!" . . . i thought it was funny and helped deflate some of the animosity that was building up and to let the skins fan's girl know that it wasnt going to be a 3 on1 if it came down to blows . . .
go skins!
