Hey Everyone, this is the College Forum, my being a "so called" Dolphins fan has nothing to do with college football or this post!
I've never been to Miami in my life yet have remained a Dolphins fan through out, on a professional level its totally different, but this is the college forum, we are talking about college team.
I have no problem with this issue, it is just my personal opinion on it, I wouldn't attack someone for liking a college team that wasn't near them. I always felt that the college atmosphere, the college envoirment led me towards the teams I root for above all. You don't see that on the professional level nearly as much, or it is limited to just a certain area, at least in my experience. I like alot of teams around the country, but when I really have to identify a team, i've just been programed to root for the one that it seems all my family and friends are either fans of, or fans of their rivals. It lends excitement to the games and leads to some great times.
And I should probably rephrase saying "fake" to "lacking the enviorment". I don't at all disagree with liking a team that is not in your region, I just think it lends to more fun when they are. Thats probably true at every level though, but I've had a great time as a Dolphins fan in Ohio so to each his own.
And before you go looking for the smallest reason to jump on someone, like always, why don't you respond with a less aggressive statment, you just lend to all the bull**** that is seriously reducing the quality of the board.
