Re: Fair weather fans

How did the term fair weather fan get a negative connotation? Aren't we all fans of fair weather?
Who doesn't like fair weather? Farmers in need of rain? Eskimos? Umbrella salesmen?

**** this topic, I hate this crap. Youre saying the only true fans give blind obedience to the head coach and say nothing bad about him? Not how things work in this country, Comrade.

Re: Fair weather fans

Do you even know what a fair weather fan is??? We won and it was a good win for sure but dont let it blind you to the fact that we lost three games to some of the worst teams possible. Dont call people out because we won one big game ...... everyone that is a Hawk fan had every right to blow up after what is an inexcusable lose to Minny.

This is why you don't post like ******* after one game, weird....Minnesota took MSU to the brink at East Lansing. It's college football and 18-22 yr old kids, stuff happens.

I guess KF can coach again right and Coker isn't too slow?

I hope you don't even enjoy Iowa games anymore because you're miserable people that give this fanbase a bad name.

Re: Fair weather fans

We won the game and I am very stoked about it however that doesn't change the fact that there are some glaring issues that the coaches need to work on. Today we played well enough to compensate for some of the questionable decisions. Last week we did not.

Re: Fair weather fans

To the OP ... How about we just enjoy the win and not try and call out people who were upset and frustrated by a bad performance last week ... It's a message board ... People are going to voice all kinds of concerns/frustrations, etc. Let it be ... The Hawks won ...

Re: Fair weather fans

People need to quit whining about the Minnesota game. Yeah we should have beaten them, but what is done is done. They can't be that terrible, they almost knocked off USC and this supposedly superior MSU team.

The fact is that games are all about the match-ups and teams that are the most successful are teams that match up the best against everyone. We didn't match up as well against Minnesota as we should have. With that in mind, had Hyde played CB against ISU, I don't think that game goes to OT.
