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.

Considering the FCC fans are the worst fanbase I have ever encountered over the past 3 years any and all the chants directed at FCC were warranted. 2009 Pitt was the worst experience I had in all my years of sports with multiple homophobic slurs towards me and my group...but that was all topped by FCC the past couple of years.

I find that a bit peculiar (not doubting what you said)-- while I am sure not everyone falls into this category, I would bet dollars to donuts that on average most of the FCC fan base are more "progressive" than your typical sports fan. Heck, the one fan group carries the Gay Pride Flag as they march down to the stadium.
