Don't be a Hater

Just some advise, you can tell me to shove it, like most of you probably will but I have some advise for SOME Cat fans. Before you go off on bandwagon Griz fans and the sudden showing of Griz wear, stop and think.
If the Cats were playing in the National Championship, do you believe that folks wouldn't be jumping on the bandwagon and wearing Cat clothes at record levels. Living in a community that is about 50/50, I see lots of people wearing both schools colors. However, this week I have heard five different Cat fans complaining about all the Griz gear out there. Are you serious? I don't care if you like them or not, but acknowledge that they are playing in the National Championship and that brings out a sense of pride for some people. I would venture to say, quite a few of those would just as quickly don the Blue and Gold if MSU were playing on Friday. I mean, the amount of Cat clothing that was worn after "the streak" had to be at record levels.
Go ahead, be a hater. But if I were those of the ilk that feel the need to complain about all the Griz colors out there, I'd reserve them to your known Cat buddies. Because, should they win on Friday, it is just going to get worse. And my whole point to all of this is that many people who visit this board seem to think they vastly different from Griz fans, but the bottomline is that they are not and if the roles were reversed would be just as bad.
Just my two cents, let the flames begin.
