I think back to the stories I was told when I was young. Years ago of when my parents were in college sitting in the empty stands in pouring down rain rooting for a team that barely won 2 games all season.
That is being a fan.
Maybe that's just something SEC fans "wouldn't understand."
I hate to disagree with that, but the gator fans know exactly what that's like. Granted it's been a while, but they know.
