Originally posted by lawdoggies View PostNope. No room for someone who would rather watch Brady's Bums play Indiana.
Mostly because you have such high standards to be a fan of tech. It does keep your fan base small, so you don't need larger facilities. Which is a good offset of the lack of income.
And explains why you never, ever see Tech stuff in WalMart outside of the copper country. (I got a Michigan hat at a WalMart in Dillon, CO- forgot it while on a business trip).

Originally posted by alfablue View PostI still don't understand why you think your team is that bad. Just seems odd.
You guys could use a good dose of self confidence. It would help.MTU Hockey fan since I was carried to a game in 1986 - for those counting... that's a lot of depressing hockey. Still love it.

Originally posted by JohnsonsJerseys View PostIn the real world, that is what we call "lemmings". Follow the crowd, follow the crowd... right off the cliff. Some universities teach their students how to be creative, be original and think outside the box, some don't.
If that is what it takes to be cool, then I certainly hope we never reach that point. Now go get 100,000 of your closest friends and sing "Hail" ten times as penance for dragging this thread into the mud. And wear your special helmet when you do it...

I'm fine with football.
You guys really make success look like a horribly bad thing. No wonder you've been Tech fans for so long.

Originally posted by lawdoggies View PostAnd the height of Wolverine aspirations is to see "stuff" in WalMarts?Originally posted by JohnsonsJerseys View PostTrust me, the last thing you would want is someone from Tech becoming a fan of Michigan. You don't want a free thinker thrown into a sea of drones who go through the same motions time and time again under the banner of "tradition". Your statement is the core value of large university mentality - Safety in numbers. If there are more of us then there are of you, then we must be cool.
Ryan J
Can you explain how that's an example of free thinking?
Or perhaps explain that all of the traditions that you, your fans, and your band does that are the same motions time and time again makes your fans uniquely free thinking?
If you doing the same thing over, and over again makes you cool, good for you. You need some more self confidence. Keep doing it.
I appreciate that you keep saying that I must be cool- but I'm not saying that.

Originally posted by JohnsonsJerseys View PostLet's put it this way. I was in the crowd cheering for Tech the last time they hosted playoff games (and all the other home games that season). That's 1992-93 for those that don't follow Tech. Long enough to consider myself more than just a casual fan of the program, but someone who truly has a passion for the program, win or lose. With that being said I know there are people on this board that have followed Tech waaaay longer than me. We don't celebrate futility, but results are not all that matter to a true fan. We support the program regardless of the results. And we have some fun along the way as well... We not only take shots at others, but we have just as much fun taking shots at ourselves because we don't care what others think. It's the self-confidence that comes from knowing there is more to life than being the best at everything.

And yeah, it's been rough. But how else do you get to have a pep band cheer "We're number 10!" because Rammer gets hot and you make a run at the Final Five?MTU Hockey fan since I was carried to a game in 1986 - for those counting... that's a lot of depressing hockey. Still love it.

But I'm not worthy of your standards since I also am a fan of Michigan.
I'll mention that to my dad, since he pre-dates me as a Tech fan by at least 15 years. And is also a Michigan fan. You won't accept an alum like him.
Such selectivity.
And you get on OUR case for being arrogant.

It's all in good fun, alfablue, we love all you Michigan fans. And we think it's quite noble that you let Red keep standing behind the bench, it's really very kind of you.Huskies are very intelligent and trainable. Huskies make an excellent jogging companion, as long as it is not too hot. Grooming is minimal; bathing is normally unnecessary.
