Sorry I have been gone all, but I have had to recover from my experiences with the East Ridge Riot and Lyman faithful.
First, let me talk about the East Ridge Riot. Great fans and great idea. I love how they have dedicated an actual student section too students, and more importantly properly named themselves.The Riot don't need cheerleaders to get them going (no offense ladies,) these students truly enjoy themselves at the game win or lose. I'd go out on a limb and say even if there wasn't a sporting event taking place, and the Riot were in attendance things will get rowdy. Overall: Great fans.
I especially want to thank the Senior Spirit Leaders for making me an honorary Spirit Leader for the night. I hope I represented the sash and Riot proudly.
Now to Lyman...
Where to begin? These guys are the closest thing to an SEC fraternity at a high noon Saturday kickoff. Let me begin. They get things started with a bar-b-q tailgate where they play football, throw the frisbee, and get loud and proud with the cheerleaders that stop by. Then as the visiting team drives in they line up in the street and give the away team a not so welcome "welcoming party.'' Just for the record they do it very classy.
When it gets close to game time they do a run to the stadium, so they can be first in line to get tickets and first in to the stadium.
This blog does not do the Lyman Greyhounds fans justice, because I feel like I could write endlessly about the things I encountered and participated in with them. (Like a hamburger eating contest...and yes I won)
I know I praised Apopka for their fans, but from pre-game to post-game Lyman has shown me they are the best fans in Central Florida so far...
To see how I spent the day with the Lyman Crazies tune in to Varsity Sports this Sunday, and relive the fun I shared with these great fans.
After you watch how they act for game day I know other schools will want to top it. The question is, who will?
If you think your school has the best fans I want to hear about it, and come share the Friday Night Lights with your fans. E-mail me at
