I am left wondering what most of you tell your children that participate in extra-curricular activities like sports. Do you tell them they suck and that they are wasting their time? If they suffer through losing seasons do you threaten to withdraw your emotional and financial support from them? Do you stay home from the games rather than wasting your money on admission and transportation for attending the games? Do you encourage other parents and community residents to withdraw their support from the teams?

Just wondering.

Holy ****. This might be the worst post in Cyclone Fanatic history.

We'll see what we can do about that.

This is ridiculous. You realize you are comparing big time college athletics to freaking kids sports? Geez get some perspective.

Of course not. :twitcy:

If I have been getting "spoiled" by the football program, I would hate to see what things will be like when the program stops spoiling us.

With that said, I would love to see the program see the success that the fans are hungry for. The enthusiasm has been there, the support has been there, we are investing more financially into the program. The cost for the product has continually gone up. To not expect results along with all of that is pretty naive. If anything I would say that that fans have been incredibly supportive. IMO if us as fans are guilty of anything it is setting too high of a bar for expectations for what the team may have been able to achieve. But to call ISU fans fair weather fans is pretty absurd.

I am trying to figure out when we have ever been spoiled by the football program, or enjoyed enough "Fair Weather" to be called fair weather fans. I can't remember either. I think some of these posters are delusional and just want to lecture other ISU fans.

At some point you are going to have to stop posting. CoKane Addict will only last so long.

That was an outstanding post to start this thread!

If you can't support the team and program when its down, then you are not truly a fan. Anybody can support a program that's winning on the field but it takes courage to stand behind the team with your money and your support when things are tough. That is not to say we should tolerate failure, or that constructive criticism isn't welcome, but we have a team and coach that are in place for the coming season....whether some like that or not.

If this season is a failure, everyone will be ready for change...but if, against all odds, there is success....some of you will have lost the right to be considered fans of the Iowa State Cyclones. If you slam the program all off season but the team turns things around in the fall and wins 5 or 6 games...you just plain don't deserve to get back on the bandwagon. In other words, fair weather fans suck.

How someone elects to spend their family's finite entertainment budget each year is about courage? Mmmk.

I need to create an alt or something. I can't have my status change, it's just too perfect the way it is now.

LOL. These next 156 days are going to go by sooooo slow.

I am buying season tickets as normal, showing up for every game and cheering for the team.

However, at this point I am way beyond buying any more of CPR's (or anybody else) spring ball or pre-season hypey-poo.

BEST JUCO CROP HE'S EVER SEEN!!!

For those who are negative and complaining. Feel free to not support the team. Don't go to the games. But WHY is there the constant need to silence those who are optimistic and continue to support the team.

What is up with that? Better for all of you to be silent.

Did you not read the original post? Or some of the ridiculous rah-rah responses? Calling ISU FB fans "spoiled" or "Fair Weather Fans" is the most ridiculous and delusional thing I have ever heard. Statements like that should be made fun of.

No one is silencing you. You're taking flak because you just happened to post this garbage:

There is a reason why some people only have two cents... just saying.

Even Jesus is left awestruck at the terribleness of this post.

To the OP, a true fan responds if they disagree with something like 'man I don't know about that, I hope you're right.' and let's it go. Your ahole fairweather fan, goes on a 15 minute diatribe telling you how you are wrong and how terrible your opinion is and how you must just feel the mental strain to tie your show laces in the morning. Use this and judge who the real fans are and ignore the rest.
