Who has the best fans in the SCA? Now I know that every school thinks that they have the best, so for the sake of this post lets say... Other than YOUR TEAM, Who has the best fans.
Take not only passion into consideration, but also sportsmanship, and "showing up" no matter what... would love to hear some stories as to why you feel the way you do....
and please no trashing each other.....
GO!!!!

You asked to pick someone other than your own, so I will nominate Thayer. Willow/Thayer and Willow/Cabool get along really well for the most part so it's easiest for me to look that direction. Thayer has had huge attendances for a small school for as long as I can remember, even during their bad years.

I admit, I have limited exposure... but over the years I have covered everyone multiple times, except Liberty, I have only seen them,live once.
Have had great experiences with Willow. Folks have always been friendly and hospitable. Have heard NOTHING negative even though we have pretty much controlled the short series. Even in defeat they have showed nothing but class....
the other is actually Grove. As much as I say some of them are completely crazy.... my very first experience with the school came years ago when Branson went there for a playoff game. They were loud and excited and supported their team to no end... But, when Branson took the field a large number of them stood and cheered. That caught me off guard and to this day impresses me every time I think about it.

As much as I hate to admit it, I am going to pick Mountain Grove or Salem. They both have rich history/tradition and it's hard to knock them down. Even if they aren't doing so great, it seems like everyone comes out anyway and has a good time rooting for their team.

I would say Thayer has great fans. I always know when I am close to Thayer, because everyone is wearing green shirts. I like to call it the little town that could.

Well , in my experience I've always been treated courteous at all of the stadiums in the SCA but ... I'd have to say the Lamar fans have been very faithful to their team and The ones that I've talked to are very polite and never show unsportsman like conduct , they have a lot to brag about , but they don't put other teams down . Now getting back to the SCA....Some of the most rabid and loyal fans (touched in the head too)would have to go to the Grove fans . I really thought it was very gracious how they served food to the fans of the visiting teams for free , hats off to those precious folks . Now...Liberty has absolutely Rabid fans and they are loud and proud of our Eagles , But , I've seen too many times when the bleachers were pretty bare when bad weather hits or when they think the game is gonna be a runaway in our favor .Our boys are out there in those times so WE need to be there also .Dang it !!I said something good about the Grove fans , But , It's the truth . Oh yeah , I forgot one big important thing ......GO EAGLES ...........OH YEAH .

I know you said we can't pick our home team and I didn't. But, I just want to give quick props to the Cabool Bulldogs fans for keeping the jugs alive! Everytime I see the Dogs play and hear jugs, it brings back good memories.

Well there you go , Grove has just had many more years to fill up that band wagon , It very much sounds like the Grove WAGON DWELLERS are getting mighty JEALOUS of Liberty's statewide media attention the last 5 yrs or so.Well , Get used to it because we are here to stay , deal with it . |

It seems to me that when the rule no trashing others is given that some Mountain Grove fans just HAVE TO go after their biggest threat , which in this case it's the Liberty EAGLES .....GO EAGLES .
