Those OU crowds always look nuts.

Some crowds just stand out when you watch the games on TV. OU is one of them.

I guess when you only play for one national championship every few decades they seem more important ;-) ;-)

Well, obviously one should look at the demographics. What creates fans who "act differently"? The drinking water? Geography? The weather?

Get real. UM is a small, private school in a city where only 20% of the population is white. There is real competition for the fan base from the NFL. Don't even mention the Bengals. There were more people at Internext Miami last month than @ any Bengals game last year. Sure, white folk in Ohio will happily travel to Arizona for a vacation from the frozen tundra. Miami's largely Cuban fan base don't do the desert. Nor do they do jackets. My guess is many of them live in the hood. I mean, have you been to the Orange Bowl? Meni's been there. Ask Meni (http://www.askmeni.com). You can almost smell the crack there. It's more impressive to me that some guy living in a Little Havana hovel will spend $50 to go to a football game than that some middle class Ohio urbanite will travel to Arizona for a break from the ice and snow. "Small", yeah. OSU has 50,000 students and Miami has 13,000.

But, you'd be right to say that Miami fans are largely fair-weather fans. Nearly everyone was disappointed last year with finishing #5. Finishing #2 is a great disappointment here. Maybe it comes with winning 25% of the past 20 national championships. A season at #2 is a failure of a season.

Or maybe you can explain it better to me, Grimm. What are the causes of OSU fans travelling to AZ and not UM fans?
