http://www.chicagonow.com/blogs/first-and-big-ten/2009/08/seven-fan-types-that-drive-me-crazy.htmlWhich of these fans describe you. Speaking of the Clubhouse Chick. I was going to a Nationals game the other night. And well, they have a very, very long escalator coming up to the street from the Metro Station. And of course a chick in high heels and a very short skirt and a thong goes up the neighboring escalator. Don't you just hate it when that happens.

2. The "Glass Is Overflowing" Fan
Nobody around here fits that description, do they.

I love this guy's description-literrally I feel like I might regurgitate when I hear some uninformed cheerleader spout this crap:
"I don't know about you, but this fan makes my eyes roll back into my head, to the point where I'm frightened that I can't get them back. I'm fine with having some faint hope when my team is a major underdog, and if the team I'm rooting for can pull it off, it's that much more satisfying. But this person needs to get a clue.Please don't tell me how your cupcake squad is going to win the national championship. We don't want to hear it. Someone get some duct tape please...and while you're at it, I could use some Advil too."

The glass is neither half full nor half empty; simply the wrong size glass

Did they have a category for fans who would rather have their point proven to be correct than to see their team succeed? That doesn't fit the description of anyone around here does it? Maybe the self proclaimed "most accurate poster on this board" who said we would "rue the day" we passed on Todd Dodge.
BTW, I'm the bi-polar fan. Way too happy and optomistic when we win and a miserable bastard when we lose. So for like the last seven years I've been a miserable bastard from September through late November on Saturdays.

What do you call the fans that suffer from the soft bigotry of low expectations?

I'm sorry, I will try and stop being such a pompous jerk.
