And they say Alabama Football fans are crazy

I have always liked to hold up sports here over the barbarity of the hooliganism in Europe. But when I hear stories like this I think that maybe we are just a few years behind them. I would really hope this is not a trend, because that is the most disturbing thing I have ever heard done to a person.
 
Sooner fans are right up there with LSU fans. They've always been pretty vile, although much worse than LSU. I actually like a lot of LSU fans, so I shouldn't insult them by comparing them to Oklahoma.
 
I would have to disagree, all the Sooner fans I ran across when they came here in 2003 were very nice people. I don't know where your getting that from.
 
Well, I'm sure there's more to the story than what is in the article. And you can't judge a fan base by a few crazy fans, but I haven't heard anything about this anywhere, the "Arkansas Incident" made Sportscenter.

I'd disagree with that assesment as well. The article described the situation, which in my opinion could happen anywhere major college football is played. A lot of alcohol + crazy fan = trouble. I live in Lubbock and while it is rather stupid to walk into a Lubbock bar with A&M or UT stuff on, it usually won't escalate to something more than trash talk until someone has had a few too many.
 
meh...just go to soonerfans.com and read some of their nice morsels of hospitality to other fans:

LSU:

Cool. Now show some video of OU marching down the field on your team's *** in the final minutes to nearly pull a win out. Count your blessing that Jason White was hurt that day, you inbred, crawdad-eating, creole-talking halfwit.

Miami:

I did actually notice from afar what appeared to be a large, balding sooner fan walking down the aisle next to the Miami section in the south endzone with both hands and middle fingers extended in the air, flipping off everyone wearing Miami gear ...

I won't even get into the fact that they call Texas the "Whorns" or how they talk about any of the other Big XII schools.
 
Every fan base has its bad element - even Bama. This person needs to be treated as a felon, not a fan. Neither the people of the state nor the fans of the school should be disparaged because of this freak's behavior...

Yeah definitely, but when you've got at least one idiot on most sooner boards defending the guy without getting banned, then that may give you a hint.

If you choose to draw broad conclusions from this sort of thing, the person harmed most is you. Best not to paint with too wide a brush...

Sure you're not a Longhorn? :wink: If you want to educate yourself more on the OU fanbase, take in a game in Norman. It's a bit different than you think. That person is right, if you're basing the whole fan base on some message boards posters, you're looking in the wrong place. Comparing OU and LSU fans, well, I won't even go there. I've seen both in the same place at the same time.

Mav, you are way off base with this one. Sooner fans are soooooo much better that LSU fans. I wore Bama shirt and hat to the OU game last weekend. I did not get one bad or harassing comment. Everyone treated me with respect and asked about out team and coaches.
That includes going to the Sports bar in bricktown after the game.

The only thing everybody did was cheer when Notre Dame was losing and when aTm was losing.

I doubt you get that in LSU country.

End of discussion, very well put and so true. That element includes the felon and the defenders of his actions.
 
I've never been to Baton Rouge and witnessed the LSU fanbase firsthand, but I did go to the UA game in Norman and I cannot say one bad thing about their fans. We walked around the campus in our Bama gear and nothing was said to us or thrown at us. We didn't get any dirty looks or anything. In fact, one of the guys with us met some OU fans the night before the game and we ran into them the next day and they invited us to tailgate with them before the game. We had a really good time, except for the loss, but I've always thought very highly of OU and their fanbase since that trip.
