Brampton Wrote:Pete Nice Wrote:It's funny, people love to hate the Steelers and Penguins, who win, but everyone loves the Pirates.heres the answer to the question that you have. I've answered it before, but to clear it up....there you go. Oh, I could care less about the Pirates as well due to the fact that their owners are assholes, just like the Maple Leafs management has always been. Your opinion is your opinion, I don't want to change it, it was not directed at you in particular, just an overall observation based mostly off facebook the last two days, but in my opinion, Steeler fans are not assholes in whole. Confident, yes, but not assholes, at least the vast majority. EVERY team has that minority shit talking asshole fan base. I compare the Steelers fan base to that of the Packers, in fact so do all the national media outlets, as that seems to be one of the major Super Bowl topics so far. But the Steelers and the Packers are both well known for having the biggest, best and most passionate fan bases, both travel very well, both have very knowledgeable fan bases, both are very passionate for their team to almost extreme ends. Both fan bases are very receptive to opposing fans in their home stadium, with some minor exceptions for rivals. You will not see the average Steeler or Packer fan talking shit on the Giants with nothing invested in the game the Giants are playing (Cowboy fans). You will not see 3 or 4 of the average Steeler or Packer fan beating the shit out of someone for wearing a jersey of another team (Eagles fans). You will not see Steelers fans talking mad smack about AFC Championship wins 8 years ago (Patriots fans). I can go on and on. Steeler and Packer fans are classy. With of course minor exceptions that apply to all sports teams. There are several teams whose fans have a very bad reputation currently, the Patriots, Eagles, Cowboys, Chargers and Raiders in particular. The Steelers don't have that reputation as a whole. You will never see me knocking the Seahawks, 49ers, Bears or Dolphins for no reason. If they are no good, I will say so, but I will only talk smack on rivals (Brown, Ravens, Bengals) and the Cowboys, well occasionally the Patriots, but I am not going to talk smack on any other team, outside of playful pregame banter like this. But when it's all over, I don't have ill feelings for the Jets and wish them only the best of luck, Rex Ryan is a hell of a coach. Anyway, that is my opinion, and everyone is welcome to their own. As a voting stockholder in the Packers, I usually route for them when they play any team not from Pennsylvania and always hope they do good, classy organization.

I am expecting a good game and a close game and praying for a Packer win!this statement is inaccurate. the Steelers weren't competitive until the 70's. I will say they are the most successfull since then, but there was 50 years or so before this. Actually no one really considers the pre Super Bowl era any more, so before 1960 is basically forgotten these days. Since 1960, there are not two more beloved and storied franchises in the NFL.

I agree, if Green Bay was playing any other AFC team in the Super Bowl I would be routing for them hard.

The Red Sox used to be lovable losers too, just like the Cubs still are now. I kinda got into this debate last night at Bowling. My team, the girls on my team at least, are Michigan State fans. And they say they hate UofM so much because of their fans, and that everybody hates them because of their fans. I just said it's because they've been so good for so long. You're not going to build up hate for a bad team. They hate UofM so much they actually like OSU. And I told them to wear a MSU shirt to a game at Michigan. Then wear one at Ohio, and then tell me which team has the worse fans. It was at that time I realized I shouldn't be talking sports with girls, they just weren't getting it.

I didn't go to either. I didn't even almost go to one. But, I had a lot more fun at MSU. The MSU tailgates were legendary. I was even at the one that forced them to change all the rules. We would get in line to tailgate the night before, then they let everyone into the lot at 6am. The game that changed it was against Notre Dame, at 8pm. Shit happened that day, and they were never the same.

I hate Penn State, Pitt's biggest and oldest football rival. My wife wanted to go to Gabriel Brothers, a sort of discount store with mostly cheap shit, but occasionally you find some good stuff. We found NOTHING good. But I did find some $3 tshirts for a bunch of teams that play Penn State Every year, so I bought what I am going to call "PSU gameday tshirts" I got Mich St, Iowa, Illinois and Alabama. It's fun b/c there are a lot of PSU fans around here, even some of my friends, but most of my friends are Pitt fans and the rivalry really is that big, that you would wear the opposing teams shirt and openly route against the other team. It has to be a rivalry for this to be as fun though.
