Everyone knows that when they go to a college football game, they’re going to encounter so many different types of fans…here’s a few of the ones we all try to avoid.
6. The “I Know Every Stat” Fan: This is one of those people that you attempt to not sit next to at any time, unless you’re planning on going onto a gameshow specifically about this college’s football team. They know each and every past coach and every player’s name, number, position, and favorite food. Every five seconds plan to hear “did you know that in [some random year] [some random player] did [some random play] to win [some random game]”, and you are not going to care. It’s one thing to be an avid fan….but there’s a time to stop.
5. The Oblivious Fan: Sadly to say, this is most likely an annoying girl that someone has brought along, and you are her chosen person to answer each and every ridiculous question she has. You’ll explain what a touchdown is, who has the ball, why that wasn’t good, and no she shouldn’t be cheering for that so many times. Easiest way to get rid of her is tell her one of your friends knows way more about football and LOVES teaching people.
4. The Opposing Fan: Someone always has to bring their friend along to experience how crazy their school’s student section is, and this friend always ends up attending the rival school or just has multiple reasons why they hate this team. Don’t make friends with them or you might get punched along with them as they cheer on the other side. No one likes an obnoxious rival on the wrong side.
3. The “Why Am I Here” Fan: This person most likely got dragged along by their friends and seems to think that they’re too cool for a lame football game. There are so many more interesting things they could be doing, like that cover band no one has heard of playing at that coffee shop no one has ever been to.
2. The “I Scream At The Players Constantly” Fan: This fan is a stadium coach. They believe wholeheartedly that everything the players do wrong, they could do better. Having memorized every play and probably played JV at their high school, they think they are a part of the team, especially since they address each player by their first name when screaming at them how to be better. Though aren’t they the ones in the stands and not on the college football field.
1. The Drunk Fan: Swaying back and forth, constantly yelling the fight song way too loud and off-key, this fan can usually be spotted because their friends are constantly shushing them and making sure they don’t puke on the fans in front of them. They will either get kicked out by security, or their friends (if they’re smart) will just leave with them early.
There’s plenty more where those came from, but these seem to stand out the most.
