This, surprisingly, I have no problem with - and it is most certainly biased - as that's how things work. As long as you're up front about the bias . . . but it's when people use their soapbox position to deleterious means with regard to other schools that I find fault.
I don't think it's appropriate to catagorize one group of fans in a general sense for the actions of a few - think "ALL KAPPA SIGMAS ARE RACIST BECAUSE THEY DRESSED IN BLACKFACE AT UT-KNOXVILLE!!!!" I find it to be a similar stretch to blame all OSU fans nationwide for the actions of some assholes who got drunk, and thought breaking things was a good idea - or to label it a 'classless institution' for it happening.
Besides, it's a moot argument as to "who has the best fans" - we're all using different measuring sticks anyway. Plus, we can't all have the '12th man' right?
