There's a lot of times we hear from other message boards nuts like ourselves and we focus on the worst and most arrogant of those fans. However, I'd like to challenge all of our Bearcats fans going to the game to remember what name you're likely going to have on your chest. Be loud, be proud, and cheer for the Bearcats! Just don't go out of the way to be jerks to the Buckeye fans. Most of those people likely aren't the worst of the worst that we hear from time to time. And even if they are, we have the opportunity as a fan base to be the bigger people. I know they're just students but I heard way too many chants of F*** the Bruins getting spread throughout the student section on Thursday night.

OK, rant over... I'll hang up and wait to get taken to task. Stay classy Bearcats fans.

I caught flack for complaining about that during the Houston game a few years ago. I'm glad someone else feels the same. That kind of environment takes the fun out of it for me. I'm not a prude and I'm prone to dropping f bombs myself from time to time, but a chant at a football game? Nah. It's just a game.

Kind of wish we could come up with something a bit more clever, say like they do at an FCC match.

FCC fan groups do have creative cheers and in general they are clean or if not entirely clean at least funny.

I can't say the same for the Columbus Crew fans...
Was at the FCC v Crew game sitting near the Crew fans section. The Crew traveling fans were the worst opposing fan group I have ever experienced at any arena, stadium, etc. Tons of angry FBomb cheers, there signs were really obnoxious. Officers from the Sheriffs Dept had to stand in and around the Crew fnas to keep them in line.

Guessing there's a lot of Columbus Crew fans that are also Super Bcknut tOSU fans. So I guess I shouldn't have been shocked by their behavior.

Soccer? A 2/3 year rivalry between FCC and Crew in a league not even ranked in the top 10 in the world was the worst group of fans you’ve ever seen?

Guessing you’ve never been to UC vs. Eggs? Both sides
Or OSU vs Michigan? Again both sides
Or Bengals vs Browns/Steelers? Again both sides

Like others have pointed out most of the worst fans can be summed up by the middle aged drunk still trying to be the man. Of course the Bengals/Browns/Steelers have tons. And since Ohio State seems to be the State school these types of people root for its more prominent.

There’s positives and negatives to being a UK, OSU, etc. vs. say a UC, Purdue, or Minnesota.

Everyone’s had crap said to them. That’s part of going to games (especially away). As long as you ignore you will not find yourself in an altercation. As nice as Michigan fans or Oklahoma fans were to us it’s a totally different story when they play Michigan St. or Texas.
