Cox's Corner: The Dark Side of Fandom

When it comes to sports, people get emotional. There's probably not a sport that incites more emotion than college football. We all have a team. I'm going to assume most reading this root for the team in orange. But regardless of which school is on your bumper sticker, it's all the same. Most of us grew up supporting that one team. We have memories ingrained in our souls of historic victories and crushing defeats. Through it all, we never left. We are loyal fans.

It's easy to get mad at a coach who you think calls a bad play or a receiver who drops a pass.
