Fair weather fans
« on: October 21, 2002, 11:30:11 AM »
I've been working in Orange County, CA since March and for most of that time finding a dedicated Angel fan has been like finding rocking-horse sh*t. The season games are usually undersold by the thousands and most people couldn't name the starting line up if thier lives depended on it. Now suddenly everyone within 25 miles of Anaheim has been a die-hard Angel fan for 20 years.
I live in Boston and while I'm not a Red Sox fan the comparison is very interesting.

Ha!

Want to talk fair weather in Atlanta, they ride the waves on a sponge surfboard.  Braves barely sold sold out last games before postseason, this is a regular occurance.  I hate baseball!

Im a NY Footbal Giant fan with all the pains associated especially this year.  The big thing here right now is the Bulldogs,  They have always had a decent following.

 Yes we here in Athens are pretty pumped about us being 7-0 right now, we win out and take the SEC champ, we will be playing for a nat'l champ.  Even if the bulldawgs suck bellybutton they will always have a loyal following.  Thats the beauty of College Football in the south.

Mrs. Tahgut and I met at an Angel game 10 years ago.
