I you dont identify with one of these listed identify yourself with you're own new category, but be honest.

I am the angry cusser fan. When my team loses I get mad at everything and everyone around me. I yell and cuss at the opposing team, the refs, the football gods, and on rare occasion an obnoxious fan of the opposing team. Though one thing I never do is cuss or talk negatively about my own team.
 
I am they guy who just get way to excited about normal plays. If Dwyer squeeks out that extra yard, he hears me. When MJ blocked that kick, I was standing in my seat freaking out for a good 10 minutes. I sing every word of every song, yell at every down and scream at every third down. I am the first to stand up and the last to sit down. If we are sitting down, I am up as soon as I see the QB drop back for a pass, start the option, or even have a glint of daylight from an opening.

I am not an ass to the opposing team unless it is deserved. I am the guy who gets so drunk before the UGA game that I get in arguements that I dont remember about how retarded it is that their RB's first name is Knowshon. I am there at 8:00 am to tailgate and own noobs at corn-hole. I only buy gold or white clothes. I dont wear blue to a game because that is not our color. I wear my jackets for mccain sticker, and the best part of the day is the walk to the stadium, seeing the wreck fly out of the smoke, and standing and watching the whistle blow after we win.

I am that fan.
 
I'd say I'm a cross between emotionally invested and Captain Negative. The latter might just be because of the recent history of the teams I root for...see my avatar for the most recent example...how can I be happy with a just five run lead in the sixth inning when I know we're about to have to go to the bullpen?

If it makes you feel better I'm a Pirates fan and we just set the ultimate mark of futility be extending our streak of losing seasons to 15. F'ing Sid Bream...
 
I'm "The Coach"..except highly intoxicated hoping the people 4 rows behind me don't smell Jack Daniels....cause I know the people next to me can smell it. I smell. I'm a smelly drunk fan who loves his team and I will not apologize for it.

GT Kyle would be the "Attention Seeker".
 
None of those really fit, I guess kind of coach, but not in the questioning the coach/players kind of way, more watching the plays develop, focusing on different positions each down and explaining what the defense/offense is trying to do to the fans around me. I also go quickly from being the most welcoming fan to the one who's going to make your afternoon hell if you're an ass to me or disrespectful of GT. You're a guest in our house and you act like it, whether you're winning or losing. And the refs are always wrong, but thats only because I cheer for GT, if I was a VPTISU fan I'd probably be paying them too :)
 
Coach crossed with Superior to the Ref crossed with emotionally invested except I don't cry... I just yell a lot and throw my hat, cup, remote, nearest child/animal :D
 
I would call myself the "loud, just a little too passionate" fan. I'm the guy who yells at people in the band for sitting unless it's an injury. I lose my voice at every game, making noise for the defense. Not to mention the fact that I try to blow my lungs out of my chest every time I play. But I must say I'm at my finest during basketball season. Not that I like basketball more than football (I don't), It's just that AMC is a lot more confined than a football game, especially for women's basketball when there aren't any fans...:laugher:
 
I don't fit any listed.

I'm 'Balled Up Bundle of Nerves" from kickoff onward. :crazy:

I'm "Relieved, Elated and The Happiest Guy On The Block" when the game is done and GT is hailed the victor on any particular Saturday afternoon. I'm more chattier than usual, have a certain spring to my step, and just feel great --must be what taking X was like in the 80's (never tried it myself). :banana:

Now the dark side:
"Angry Cusser Fan" is a good description.

If the game is lost I usually hold it in with disdain if I'm at BDS. But if I'm home, the first signal of bad things to come sees me cussing and walking upstairs from my basement den to my kitchen for another beer --then back downstairs --then back up for a chips & salsa refill --then back down, etc. :drink2:

When I've given up hope or the clock hits 0:00, the first thing to usually happen is I wing the remote across the room into my couch. I'll then hit my workshop just to find something to do, because watching another f'in college football game for the time being is out of the question! This also keeps me away from the wife so I don't snap at her for no reason. :mad:

For me --and I know most of you are GT grads/students who hate UGA with a passion-- but I'm here to tell you, as a UGA grad, it's worse on me. I'm a freakin' nervous wreck, play upon play, when GT and UGA go at it. These last few years have been just pure he77 on me. While there is nothing sweeter than a win over UGA, there is nothing more bitter than a loss --particularly when you can legitimately look back at one or two plays as being the difference in a W or an L. :bricks:
 
Destiny Fan. It is our destiny. I don't understand wot you losers are thinking about.

TECH is destined to win!
 
Superior to the Ref and Crazy Loud Fan.

When good things happen I'm crazy loud, when the other team is on offense I'm crazy loud, and when bad things happen I'm swearing crazy loud. I jump up and down so much I frequently have to hold on to the people next to me so I don't fall off the bench. At my first Tech game as a student I knew more of the words to all the songs than most of The Swarm. I always wear my wig, even if it's 100 degrees and that damn thing is roasting my head. I wear the wig from my room to the game and back, only taking it off to wave in the air for kickoffs. I scream so loud that I take a little personal pride on every false start and every missed play. I go absolutely ape**** when The Wreck comes out of the tunnel. I am the guy on the front page of the paper with the look of despair and agony when we lose to Georgia. You know, the ones they kept showing when Bama stomped them? I look worse than them. NOT THIS YEAR.

Ohh man I can so relate to that. On Saturdays when GT plays, any plans I make for the rest of the weekend are contingent on if GT wins or not. If they lose I don't do anything the rest of the weekend. I can't leave the house, I SURELY cant watch football for fear of seeing a highlight from our game, and I don't want to see or talk to anyone.

I have broken 3 cell phones, a TV remote, a glass and a tungsten wedding ring whilst watching GT play.

I do not even think about anything related to football until at least Thursday.
 
I am the "analytical fan". Half the game is me explaining to my wife or kids why. Why are they throwing the ball on 2nd and 1? Why are they going for 2? Why are we wearing white during a home game? Why, why, why? My job is explaining why on game day
 
I am the guy sitting in the stadium with 10 x 45 German made binoculars looking for that "Eye Candy babe" on the other side of the Stadium. And trust me I can find all of them when the game is slow or that fat time out guy is on the field. And in recent years I have stayed busy at Grant Field.
 
The Lover Fan

My team, no matter when, what sport, who's coaching, who's playing, what the score is, what the final score is, this is MY team.

I guess that's me, too. Except I'm explaining things to people who most likely don't care what I'm talking about.
