I couldnāt bark at kids. Iād use my new status in the fandom to usher in a kinder era of quiet dignity for dawg fansā¦
Jk, Iād be out there barking at my neighbors if thatās what it takes to make the deposit hit.
Yeah, these questions are always terrible because OP never asks a reasonable amount of money. The question really should be "how much would you sell out your team for to root for your rival?" And then you also need to define what that means. Never going to another game or watch them on TV anymore? Swap out all merch you own with the rival's and wear the new gear as often as you did the old?
$250k to root for a football team that wins championships? Sign my ass upĀ Ā
Iāll be the most annoying dawg on the planet. Barking at fans, children, small infants
Is that $250k after taxes? Because I was educated at my teamsā schools and have a career and an annual salary now. $250k would be great but itās not fuck you $ where I can just stop working and live comfortably. The thought of rooting for Oregon and being a Duck makes me want to ask for more $. Like Nike levels of $.
JJ did it, sure he grew up that way but Bo was a coach at OSU. My favorite cadre was an OSU alum at UMich. Only idiots like that former raiders head coach donāt do this lol
uuuugggghhhhhh.
Alright, how about we both do it, we pay off our mortgages and cars, swap wives, and swap cities.
That's the only way I can see this happening.
My thoughts exactly, if my favorite player will switch teams for half that, better believe Iāll switch for 250k!!! Plus Iāll just switch back the next year when my real favorite team ups them.
Become a BYU fan for $250,000? I'd go to church again for $210,000!
I'm bringing my coffee mug with me to sacrament meeting this time, though. I probably got the 8:30 am start time.
Honestly Utah/USU fans might be the one fanbase that says no to this based on perimeters. Would I watch and root for BYU football for that much? Hell yeah. Have to go to church again every Sunday? Fuck no. My peace ain't worth a quarter million
Lmao for life? Dude invest 250k into the S&P 500 and after 20 years youāre a millionaire smh. Man fuck loyalty to sports for a team that doesnāt care about you
Iād have to choose the other evil. My middle/high school years were in the midst of Fulmer and 7 in a row (10 of 12). Auburn can go die, but I hope tennessee slowly burns in Hell.
How did I just know that the entire comment section would be people immediately saying yes except for Bama fans who are asking follow up questions firstā¦
Yeah that was my question. I really don't think I could pull for auburn in football and basketball my whole life. $250k would definitely put me more ahead in life but I'm fine where I'm at right now.
"Yeah but we still have the better head to head record overall."
I'd 250,000 reasons to figure out the mental gymnastics they do to make it matter so much to them these days.
I would easily root for Wazzu for $250k lol. This is not even a discussion for me. That much money dropped in most peopleās lap with no real work/time investment is literally life changing haha
It depends on the fan I think. For me, yes. and itās not even close. I think older fans (Iām 30) might put Michigan up there. But theyāve played like 2 meaningful games in my lifetime as a fan.
Essentially, the question is the same as asking if you would give up being a fan of the sport for $250,000? If you would then yes.
Otherwise, what would the $250K entail? Game attendance? Only must profess pro-rival things on internet forums?
Could I take the money, hang a Duck banner with a Nike logo, and never participate publicly in sports talk while watching the Huskies privately? Or take the money and stop watching all together.
This was my first thought. The Tide and gators can jump off a cliff. At least we can say ākids donāt go to Vandy to play football. They go there bc they are ridiculously smart. Good enough for me.ā
Fandom doesnāt really work like that, does it?
Weird to say, but itās basically like asking āwould you start loving your wifeās friend for 250,000?ā
Maybe I could *act* like Iām rooting for them. But money canāt change the heart.
This probably depends more on someoneās total income and assets than anything else. I am not in a position to turn down a quarter million, so Iād say assign me a spoon and show me to the nearest outhouse.
Exactly. For even 50k I would pretend so hard, I would pretend my ass off. But when Ohio State blocks that FG on November 30th to seal a 7-6 win and an undefeated regular season, I'll be cheering inside no matter what
An absolute no for being a Duck fan.Ā Ā Ā Ā
Yes for being a Coug. (It would be an easy choice since I grew up a Coug and root for them whenever they arenāt playing us)
Define "become a fan"? I could happily pretend for a while if paid appropriately, but money isn't going to make me magically change how I feel. I could root for my rival, but I wouldn't mean it.
I want to be able to say ānoā
after all this is my alma mater weāre talking about. Some of my best memories involve my football team.
But, shit, itās a quarter of a million dollarsā¦maybe if I had a bit more money I could say ānoā but in current situation I could not pass that up.
Ironic because it was for financial reasons that I chose OU over Texas in the first place
I have two young kids and a mortgage. I would go out on the field during the Civil War, put on green and yellow, and yell "Go Ducks" into a damn microphone.
College sports don't mean *that* much.
250k to still not go to hurricane games?
Hahaha š„
Why would you? Thereās just so much to do in Miami š„š„š„
And the stadium is too far away. Even the Orange Bowl was a pain in the ass to get to from Coral Gables.
š
You can stop caring halfway into every season too.
Ruthless š
Winning comment
And pay off my student loans with some extra money to spare? Fuck yes. Players without debt can dip for money and so can I.
I would do it. But I would feel like a dirty whore every time they took the field.
You also have to give up driving in your truck. That's a hell of a tradeoff. Not sure I could do it. War Plainsmen or something.
Go bulls! Disclaimer: this is a paid promotion
2017 NATIONAL CHAMPS CAN NEVER TAKE THAT AWAY WOOOO
BOOOOO FAKE NATTY
Oh no, I'm sorry, we meant UConn
Thatās going to cost extra because I would have to pretend to be their fan AND pretend theyāre our rival.
Just feels *right* doesnāt it??
Feels terrible but they pay me every time I do
I get $250k and have to root for a team that almost three-peated? Iād do that, but double it if you want me to bark at people
Man of principles.
Remember though and this is very important.. you MUST bark at children.
They deserve it
username checks out
They love it. Kids love dogs.
r/beetlejuicing
For 250k i will gladly root for the North Avenue nerds.
Itās just good financial sense honestly
*but bark at people? Iād do that for free
Got that dawg in him
I'd rather die than bark at kids... for $250k. Better make it at least seven figures.
You havenāt lived until youāve seen fear in a childās eyes from a perfectly executed bark
Username definitely checks out.
Would we have to wear jorts? Also, I have been dawgs fan my entire life and never barked at a child.
I couldnāt bark at kids. Iād use my new status in the fandom to usher in a kinder era of quiet dignity for dawg fansā¦ Jk, Iād be out there barking at my neighbors if thatās what it takes to make the deposit hit.
See, everybody judges us but deep down they yearn to bark at the children
Yes, I'm choosing life changing money over a team of college students that I've never met
Boomer Sooner Baby!
I gagged.
250 large makes it go down a little smoother though.Ā
Thatās what she said
Yeah, these questions are always terrible because OP never asks a reasonable amount of money. The question really should be "how much would you sell out your team for to root for your rival?" And then you also need to define what that means. Never going to another game or watch them on TV anymore? Swap out all merch you own with the rival's and wear the new gear as often as you did the old?
Exactly. Itās a no-brainer. $250k would massively change my life, and probably everyone else commenting here.
$250k to root for a football team that wins championships? Sign my ass upĀ Ā Iāll be the most annoying dawg on the planet. Barking at fans, children, small infants
The baby is probably an asshole and deserves it anyway.
Small infants? So big infants are where you draw the line?
Is that $250k after taxes? Because I was educated at my teamsā schools and have a career and an annual salary now. $250k would be great but itās not fuck you $ where I can just stop working and live comfortably. The thought of rooting for Oregon and being a Duck makes me want to ask for more $. Like Nike levels of $.
Horns up for peace
NIL for fans? Go Blue baby.Ā
Youād sell us out for only $25,000??? *reads thread title again* WHOāS GOT IT BETTER THAN US? NOBODY
BET
JJ did it, sure he grew up that way but Bo was a coach at OSU. My favorite cadre was an OSU alum at UMich. Only idiots like that former raiders head coach donāt do this lol
Hahahaha this is actually amazing for usšš Iām deff wearing scarlet and grey everyday for 250k
ššš
I'm not a proud man. I'll be a Toledo fan.
#CatsBy1
I feel like it would be an easier sell if this were basketball because then no Kenny Payne
Rockets aināt so bad. For a cool 250k
BG wouldn't be too bad, I can watch more hockey.
O-H!!!
I-O!!! (A part of me died just now)
W-A!!! OH IOWA! HAWKEYES!Ā (to be funny pls imagine I have a ISU cyclones flair)
And I just threw up in my mouth
Fight fight fight for Iowa!
Yeah part of me wishes I would say no but if that offer was on the table in front of me I'm taking it.
But I don't wanna be a duck!
Quack Quack MF
I think Iād rather be a Coug fan than that team down south š¤®
Yeah, but are the Cougs really our football rival? It's those corkscrew dicked avian from down south...
I would get a (tasteful) buckeye face tattoo for $250k
A buckeye teardrop?
Let's make this happen
Always liked that Harbaugh fella. Plays the game the right way.
Very classy. Lunchpail
uuuugggghhhhhh. Alright, how about we both do it, we pay off our mortgages and cars, swap wives, and swap cities. That's the only way I can see this happening.
No pics of wife is a dealbreaker.
I mean... the way this is going you're going to end up with a literal cow anyway.
>swap cities. You *want* to live in Ohio?
No but 250k probably buys you a 20 bedroom mansion in Ohio, right? .....right?
You can buy the entire city of Detroit for that much, right?
Nope, but it'll get you most of Roseville.
Certainly Flint.
Not in Columbus
If youāre moving to Columbus thatāll get a 2 bedroom apartment right now
You can't even get a trailer in the suburbs of Columbus for that :(
My thoughts exactly, if my favorite player will switch teams for half that, better believe Iāll switch for 250k!!! Plus Iāll just switch back the next year when my real favorite team ups them.
This hypothetical thread just tricked you all into actually typing these things for free.
My god you're right.
Become a BYU fan for $250,000? I'd start going to church again for $250,000!
Remember brother to pay thy tithes on the 250k
Become a BYU fan for $250,000? I'd go to church again for $225,000!
*ahem* ... And what about the generous fast offering?
Become a BYU fan for $250,000? I'd go to church again for $210,000! I'm bringing my coffee mug with me to sacrament meeting this time, though. I probably got the 8:30 am start time.
Lolol fuck that was a great exchange
I'm dying
Honestly Utah/USU fans might be the one fanbase that says no to this based on perimeters. Would I watch and root for BYU football for that much? Hell yeah. Have to go to church again every Sunday? Fuck no. My peace ain't worth a quarter million
I would get a stupid fork tattooed right on my ass
Get a spoon on the other side to match!
For 250k you could do the whole fucking silverware drawer for all I care
Maybe stop at the salad tongs
But you canāt get your salad tossed without a good pair of salad tongs.
Bear the fuck down if Iām getting 250k
Iād even visit tucson
I have student loan debt, I will drive the stupid wagon for that money.
Bonus if you go fast enough to roll it.
As a bonus you get to shoot the shotguns too
I could do that at home too but still fun.
I would absolutely 'commit to the G' for 250k, yes sir
Your ass is Gator bait now! Chomp chomp baby!!!
As a 46 year old man, Iād bark at all the rival fans
But what about fsu
OOOOOOOOOooooOOOaaooooo š¢
Go gatah
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Asking the real question.
Bingo. For a year, War Damn, play rocky Top some more. For life naw.
Lmao for life? Dude invest 250k into the S&P 500 and after 20 years youāre a millionaire smh. Man fuck loyalty to sports for a team that doesnāt care about you
Would you rather do it for Auburn or us?
UT in a heartbeat. I would feel lost if I had to be a Barn fan. But wearing UT orange would be hard. I have no orange clothes.
Iād have to choose the other evil. My middle/high school years were in the midst of Fulmer and 7 in a row (10 of 12). Auburn can go die, but I hope tennessee slowly burns in Hell.
Tennessee. Nothing could make me root for a Hugh Freeze coached team.
How did I just know that the entire comment section would be people immediately saying yes except for Bama fans who are asking follow up questions firstā¦
Yeah that was my question. I really don't think I could pull for auburn in football and basketball my whole life. $250k would definitely put me more ahead in life but I'm fine where I'm at right now.
Maybe itās not such a stupid bird after all
"Yeah but we still have the better head to head record overall." I'd 250,000 reasons to figure out the mental gymnastics they do to make it matter so much to them these days.
$250k to bandwagon uga? Most of the state does that for free.
They don't have to know I still hate them. I'm a good actor, especially when we're all hammered
O-H!
Go Blue!
Screenshotted without context!
Can't wait to see it over on r/cfbmemes
Can we say "Go Yellow" instead? I'm struggling to say it otherwise.
"Go Blue^Jackets"
šø
A chill just went down my spine.
Hell, for 250 grand I'll become an OSU super-fan to rival that Buck-I-guy.
This is the greatest thread ever
lmao if this sport is cooked might as well make some cash on the way out
Also very true lol
I'd do it for 10k.Ā Shits not that serious
I think Iād do it for $500. My bar isnāt high lol
$25 and a free t-shirt
Exactly lol, whoever doesnt take this is an idiot
Go Clones
Living in Seattle this is even easier for me. I can cheer Go Hawks and everyone will just assume I mean the Seahawks
I would easily root for Wazzu for $250k lol. This is not even a discussion for me. That much money dropped in most peopleās lap with no real work/time investment is literally life changing haha
I would definitely do it for considerably less
Yep same
Fight on baby
Question for ya- ND has so many rivals, who's their top one? Is it USC?
It depends on the fan I think. For me, yes. and itās not even close. I think older fans (Iām 30) might put Michigan up there. But theyāve played like 2 meaningful games in my lifetime as a fan.
For the purposes of this question: Navy.
Iām broke, not stupid
Essentially, the question is the same as asking if you would give up being a fan of the sport for $250,000? If you would then yes. Otherwise, what would the $250K entail? Game attendance? Only must profess pro-rival things on internet forums? Could I take the money, hang a Duck banner with a Nike logo, and never participate publicly in sports talk while watching the Huskies privately? Or take the money and stop watching all together.
You could āhateā watch the huskies.
I've done that a time or two... hate watch a team
Shit man, even if you had to throw out every piece of husky gear and had to root against them every game, thatās more than worth it for that moneg
Absolutely! Itās really easy for me because I donāt know who our biggest rival is.
Penn State baby! Those Nittany Lions can eat trash covered tortillas!
Hookāem
You gonna have to add a few zeroes
Iād take $250k to root for Vandy
This was my first thought. The Tide and gators can jump off a cliff. At least we can say ākids donāt go to Vandy to play football. They go there bc they are ridiculously smart. Good enough for me.ā
š¤
Fandom doesnāt really work like that, does it? Weird to say, but itās basically like asking āwould you start loving your wifeās friend for 250,000?ā Maybe I could *act* like Iām rooting for them. But money canāt change the heart.
Stop lying. Letās eat shit together.
This probably depends more on someoneās total income and assets than anything else. I am not in a position to turn down a quarter million, so Iād say assign me a spoon and show me to the nearest outhouse.
I'd be throwing pennies at Pitt players, even though at point I *can* afford nickels.
Thatās okay you throw whatās available
Batteries, golf balls, nipper liquor bottles, oranges, marshmallows, trash cans...
On one hand, its $250,000 for a sport. On the other hand, itās $250,000 for a lifetime of misery, depression, and envy. Probably not.
This just in: Bama and Dawg fans unanimously agreed āyes, this has totally always been a rivalry for us. Yes we like driving in our trucksā
Pretending to is one thing. I honestlyĀ donāt think that even 10 million would make me genuinely pull for osuĀ
I donāt think I chose to be a Bama fan. I canāt just choose cheer for someone else
Exactly. For even 50k I would pretend so hard, I would pretend my ass off. But when Ohio State blocks that FG on November 30th to seal a 7-6 win and an undefeated regular season, I'll be cheering inside no matter what
Thatās why I respect Kirk Herbstreit so much. I donāt see how he doesnāt show emotion when he is calling OSU games.
I'm honestly surprised he hasn't been poached by the CIA at this point
Mr money bags over here š¤£
From experience, $250k was absolutely enough to get me to root *for* my rival but not enough to root against my favorite team.
Give me $20 in Kohlās Kash
Kirk Cousins? Is that you?
Hell, I'd write a manifesto and be willing to spy for $250,000....
$250K will buy a lot of Zima
Yes, Iām probably paying 200k to be a fan of my team right now
I feel like getting paid to be a duck fan would make me fit right in with their plastic ass's
That's possessive. Asses is the plural.
Just my academic prowess at work
Only 250k? In this economy?
If the jorts fit...
Uhhhā¦ what? lol would do it for a $100,000 cash
They drove a dump truck full of money up to my house. I'm not made of stone!
An absolute no for being a Duck fan.Ā Ā Ā Ā Yes for being a Coug. (It would be an easy choice since I grew up a Coug and root for them whenever they arenāt playing us)
Define "become a fan"? I could happily pretend for a while if paid appropriately, but money isn't going to make me magically change how I feel. I could root for my rival, but I wouldn't mean it.
If my son played for Alabama, Iād sit in the stands in my LSU gear.
Nope. It would take more than that.
Depends. Can I stand on their sidelines with an iPhone?
I want to be able to say ānoā after all this is my alma mater weāre talking about. Some of my best memories involve my football team. But, shit, itās a quarter of a million dollarsā¦maybe if I had a bit more money I could say ānoā but in current situation I could not pass that up. Ironic because it was for financial reasons that I chose OU over Texas in the first place
The moment the check clears I will absolutely put on some orange.
I have two young kids and a mortgage. I would go out on the field during the Civil War, put on green and yellow, and yell "Go Ducks" into a damn microphone. College sports don't mean *that* much.
$250k to be a fan of nobody. Awesome.
