NEVER TELL A TRUE STATE FAN ' IT ' S ONLY A GAME ' ' kfter portions of the student body booed rterback John Bo nd and head coach Emory ard at the Homecoming game, alumni, ad- istrators, and students alike wondered what 3ulldog fan was really like. The tans who ed at the game were not true fans in my d, Wesley Eubanks, a senior from wnsville, TN, said. True fans are those who it maroon paw prints on their cheeks, and try to smuggle their cowbells into SEC games, and it the game is too far away to attend, listen to the radio broadcast faithfully. Rebecca Cristil expressed the ideal fan in another way. I see the MSU fan as the all- around fan — the one who cheers all the time ... to boost up the team ' s spirit, to urge them on to that tirst down, to console the team when an attempted tield goal fails, the junior Com- munications major said. The ideal tan just loves State. So for the fans wh o were cheering at the games this year — they weren ' t cheering for the completed tirst down or pass, they were cheer- ing tor the famous Maroon band, the tootball team, the maroon and white balloons released in the sky. Those ideal fans were cheering for their university. Jim Prince Cowbells are seen everywhere during football season. Although cowbells were banned during SEC games in 1981, loyal fans still manage to ring their spirit for the MSU Bulldogs loud and clear. Hands clap, signs wave, and voices chant as Bulldog tans vie for spirit sticks at the Homecoming pep rally held at Five Points. Showing their spirit from painting their faces maroon and white to building pyramids, the ideal tans give their all to these weekly pre-game spirit boosters. MSU Fan — 2}
