Abilene fans remind me of Iowa Hawkeye fans on the "themat.com" (Aaron Sweazy would soooo agree with me). Like Iowa fans, Abilene fans usually are obnoxious, cocky, become defensive reaal quick, extremely loyal to their team and do some pretty far out stuff to support their team (ex. When Tanner Dawson's dad wrote the aformentioned comment on his car).
OK...everyone he mentioned my name. With that he said I'd agree. Well I do to an extent but not necessairily in a negative way that many interpret him saying. Oklahoma State's Chris Pendleton said it best: there is a fine line between cocky and confident. I think fans at any succesful program come off as cocky in the heat of battle. (OU football fans for example).
A lot of you missed the LOYAL part that was mentioned which I agree with. The part about extreme things to support their team is true...Abilene does that for all sports though, it's really kind of nice to see as you are driving downtown the main strip past the Seelye Mansion and stuff the banners saying best of luck at state and it has a different banner for each athlete going along the different yards, as well as coaches and such. Heck I've been about 30 miles South of Abilene and seen good luck signs on the way to state, very loyal fans.
But as for another matter at hand:
This is a far cry from the Manhattan people whose entire team is on here talking about themeselfs all day. And the other members on this site with well over 1000 posts who obviously have nothing better to do with their time than talk a lot of crap.
You got a beef with the 1000 club? I just became a member 10 minutes ago, but I have other things I could be doing...wrestling is a passion for me and most of my 1000 posts have been more than 1 word to make my post total go up.
I'm usually opinionated and let everyone know it and if they don't like it....they will get on my case, and just as fast people will back me up and then next thing you know...everyone will have posted. Not all 1000 member posters are bad...just like not all Abilene people are either.
