Fans of Buckeyes, Nittany Lions make dubious list

Ohio State and Penn State renew acquaintances on the football field Saturday at Ohio Stadium, giving us a chance to compare each school's team to decide which one is better this year.

But what about the fans? Is one group better than the other?

Not according to USA Today's "For The Win" blog, which groups followers of the Buckeyes and Nittany Lions together on its list of college football's "five most insufferable fanbases."


What did fans of the Scarlet and Gray and the Blue and White do to deserve this?

We'll let FTW's Mike Foss explain his reasoning:

Two Big Ten fan bases that stuff their stadiums without fail. You have to respect that. And we do. We respect you, Buckeye and Nittany Lion fans. But heaven help you if you should disagree with Penn State or Ohio State — excuse me, THE Ohio State — fans. Should you cross them, they’ll will be forced to throw a flaming tire at you, or toss a few full beers in your direction, or just berate you incessantly until you enter another zip code.


What do you think? Does he have a point, or is this a naked grab for web hits? Both? Let us know.
