Everyone who follows the Big 12 have seen the “Horns Down” news. Texas fans, players, and coaches have finally whined enough for Big 12 refs to openly state the sign can be a penalty, depending on the context.
This got me thinking about that old insult hurled around by fan bases, “your schools fans are classless” and similar lines. We seem to have forgotten what it means to be fans, and what actually is inappropriate behavior.
First to settle one thing fan smack is terrible, plain and simple. As a rule if you’re engaging in fan base smack your team sucks and you should feel bad.
