Uh-huh. Interesting.

One of these schools is not like the others. Well Notre Dame. Alright, we are basically just like Notre Dame. Right?

Arrogant and spoiled

Maybe it's the camaraderie of our hoops families that impresses people

Most probably hoops fans driving this. But we have some pretty decent discussions over here too. And our honeymoon with HCJM shows no signs of ending soon. Sure, there is some family style disagreement with some things that have been done, but by and large our comments are analytical, respectful, and demonstrate our investment in the program.

Are the FB fans as rabid as the hoops fans? No.

We do have hockey, soccer, field hockey, baseball, and softball too who all enjoy solid support

That's really how this rating was done. I think it's worth mentioning that the fanbases of the non-basketball and football teams are so tiny they're barely worth mentioning. Our baseball team rocks and the stadium probably seats less than 2k.

Men's Hockey draws pretty well. Likewise soccer.

"For athletes and non-athletes alike, the college experience — with its mascots, marching bands, and longstanding traditions — often breeds lifelong loyalty in fans. We asked our readers to vote for the absolute best college experiences for sports fans and these 10 American colleges and universities have come out on top.

No. 1: University of Connecticut - Storrs, Connecticut
The women's basketball team at UConn has been one of the most successful teams in the nation, with 11 national championships and a record-breaking 111-game winning streak. The men's program has also enjoyed success, landing two tournament titles in the last decade."

I’m guessing some fans in upstate NY and eastern MA are feeling small right now.
