After much delay, I now start on my college sports posts. As the school year begins so does college football while college basketball begins sometime later which will peak at March Madness. In my area, while pretty much everyone in Western Pennsylvania roots for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Yet, come the college football games, you’ll find plenty of factions in regards to Division I sports. Some root for the Pitt Panthers. Some go for the Penn State Nittany Lions. And some support the West Virginia Mountaineers. Like their pro counterparts, you’ll find plenty of sports fans who go all out for their teams. So much so that they show up to the game in their full regalia to ridiculous proportions. They may paint their face and/or put on some crazy costume to stand out in a crowd. While some of these people have such a noteworthy presence that they’re seen as superfans. So for your reading pleasure, I give you another treasure trove of college sports fans.
- Keep an eye on the blue man behind you.
He’s just a fan of the Florida International University Panthers. And he’s cheering them on during their homecoming game.

6. Nothing shows your support for the Syracuse Orange like an orange clown fro.
He’s even wearing Mardi Gras beads to match. Yet, don’t ask why their mascot is an orange.
7. Paint yourself in black for the Georgia Bulldogs.

8. This man is ready to Boiler Up for Purdue.
He has a Boilermaker hair and a golden lei. Not what you’d expect in Indiana.

Well, they have Crimson Tide stuff on their suits. And they top it all off with houndsooth hats.
