Smartest college football fans?

Question

Which team do you think has the smartest or most passionate fans? Kind of like St. Louis is known for the smartest baseball fans who do you think is known for the smartest fans for college football? I'm thinking LSU. I've never met any other fan that was devoted as LSU fans.

Answer 1

Smartest college football fan is an oxymoron.

Answer 2

do u mean smart or devoted

Answer 3

Smartest?  You seem as if you're asking who are the most passionate and devoted. Smartest among the Bowl Division teams I would have to say would be Stanford, Vanderbilt, and Duke.  Among of all college football the Ivy League schools would take the cake.  But as for most devoted, that's not easy, but I think Nebraska deserves some consideration since their fans are noted for traveling long distances to see the team play and there seems to be Nebraska fans everywhere. Even here in the Seattle area, all Nebraska games are broadcast on the radio, along with the Huskies and the Cougars.  

Answer 4

We are....PENN STATE

Answer 5

I agree with the St. Louis baseball fan observation, as does Sports Illustrated - they have printed that position three separate times. It's a pleasure to watch a game there and see a home crowd give standing ovations for superb play - regardless of which team accomplishes it.  

For college football fans, as a conference the SEC appears to me to have the most knowledgeable fans of the entire game, and the most objective in analyzing team strength, because they see so much talent and it's far more important to southern fans than any other sport or league. And when I say "southern" I mean all the way west to Texas and Oklahoma.  

As for a specific U - it's tough to disagree with you on LSU because they understand the game, and the risk-taking necessary to seize the crown.  Florida's fans were a little too quick to not appreciate what they had in their former coach.  

I'd have to say it's hard to beat the football fans at Texas and Oklahoma - they grow up with the game as well, and Florida and Texas produce the best high school talent - in that order - in the nation.  Watch for Central Florida to continue to run well with the big boys because they are cornering high school talent in Florida.  The best players no longer automatically go to FLA, FSU and MIAMI.

Best football town in America - according to ESPN it's Valdosta Georgia.  Titletown, USA.  The town has more football titles at the high school and college level than any cown/city in America, and if you've ever attended a game there, you know the knowledge of and appreciation for top talent/football strategy is second to none.  

Answer 6

I have never met an LSU fan that was even remotely objective. LSU is the best team every year and tiger stadium is the best place in the country to place, and even their fans are smarter than everyone else, just ask them. I am an OSU fan, and our fans can be the same way, so I am not trying to knock them, that just is the way it is. As a buckeye, who has been to a lot of bowl games, the best fans I ever came across were the Florida State fans, very knowledgable, and they were cool, even after stomping us in the sugar bowl. Worst fans, Arizona state, by far. It was ten years ago that we beat them in the rose bowl, and I still root for them to lose every time I see them.

Answer 7

No teams fans are any more smarter or stupid then the others.

Answer 8

i would say texas or penn state. if anyone say's any team from the pac10, that just shows how dumb they really are.  

Answer 9

  OHIO STATE FAN"S... Of Course... We have big fun too!

Answer 10

I am a Florida Gator fan. We are the most passionate and among the most disrepectful. Florida State ,Georgia,and Miami are right there with us in the latter category.

LSU fans are the most respectful I have encountered. Does that make them the smartest? Who knows.

Answer 11

None. Because every fan of every team boos every time there is a penalty called against them.

Answer 12

Fans of THE Ohio State Buckeyes are definitely the smartest!

Answer 13

harvard? stanford?

Answer 14

In response to "elgil", whose comment made us all dumber for having read it, college fans as a whole are smarter.

According to the book Rammer Jammer Yellowhammer, "In 1993, a group of researchers compared the graduation rates and grade point averages of hardcore college basketball fans to students who didn't care about basketball. Lo and behold, they found that 64 percent of the hardcore fans graduated in six years or less, compared with just 48 percent of the nonfans. The average GPA for the hardcore fan was 2.55, compared with 2.46 for the nonfan. Unresolved is whether watching sports makes people smarter, or whether smart people are drawn to sports; but you might want to think twice next time you assume you're someone's intellectual better just because he's wearing face paint and screaming like a maniac."

As for which team has the smartest fans, I believe that's a tough question to answer. Every team has some fans with intellect, and some fans who are like our friend "elgil".
