Friendliest BIG Ten fanbases per ChatGPT

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

time to end this nonsense.. here was my new prompt:

rank all 14 big ten football fan bases based on hostility toward fellow fans

and here is the answer...

Ranking fan bases based on hostility is subjective and can vary depending on personal experiences and individual interactions. However, here is a general attempt at ranking the Big Ten football fan bases based on the perception of their hostility toward fellow fans. Please note that this ranking is not definitive and may not align with every individual's experience.

1. Ohio State Buckeyes: Ohio State has a passionate and dedicated fan base, which can sometimes translate into intense rivalries and a competitive spirit. This can lead to occasional hostility toward opposing fans, particularly during heated rivalries.
2. Michigan Wolverines: The rivalry between Michigan and Ohio State is one of the most intense in college football. While there is often a lot of mutual respect between the fan bases, tensions can run high during and after games, leading to some hostility.
3. Penn State Nittany Lions: Penn State has a passionate and devoted fan base known for their "whiteout" games and the intense atmosphere at Beaver Stadium. While there is a strong sense of camaraderie among Penn State fans, rivalries with other Big Ten teams can occasionally result in hostile interactions.
4. Wisconsin Badgers: Wisconsin fans are generally known for their friendliness and hospitality. While there is some competitiveness and rivalry, the overall hostility level is relatively low compared to other fan bases.
5. Iowa Hawkeyes: Iowa fans are generally regarded as passionate and dedicated. While there can be some intensity during games, hostility toward fellow fans is not as prevalent as in some other fan bases.
6. Michigan State Spartans: The rivalry between Michigan State and Michigan can be intense, leading to occasional hostility between fans. However, outside of that rivalry, the hostility level is generally lower.
7. Nebraska Cornhuskers: Nebraska fans have a reputation for being friendly and welcoming. While they are known for their passion, instances of hostility toward fellow fans are relatively rare.
8. Minnesota Golden Gophers: Minnesota has a dedicated fan base, but they are generally regarded as friendly and welcoming. Hostility levels are relatively low compared to other fan bases.
9. Northwestern Wildcats: Northwestern has a smaller fan base compared to some other Big Ten schools. While there is rivalry and competitiveness, instances of hostility are less common.
10. Purdue Boilermakers: Purdue fans are generally known for their hospitality and sportsmanship. Instances of hostility toward fellow fans are relatively uncommon.
11. Indiana Hoosiers: Indiana has a smaller fan base, and while there is some rivalry, instances of hostility are generally infrequent.
12. Maryland Terrapins: Maryland has a relatively new addition to the Big Ten and a growing fan base. Hostility levels are generally low.
13. Rutgers Scarlet Knights: Rutgers is another newer addition to the Big Ten, and the hostility level among fans is relatively low.
14. Illinois Fighting Illini: Illinois has a smaller fan base, and instances of hostility toward fellow fans are generally uncommon.

Remember that these rankings are subjective and can vary based on personal experiences and individual interactions. They should be taken as a general perception rather than an absolute measure of fan base hostility.

The visiting B1G fans that come to see their football and hoops teams at RU are mostly douchey.

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

And to drive yet another nail into ChatGPT's wisdom coffin.. I asked it to include UCONN..

PROMPT: please rank all 14 Big Ten football fan bases based on friendliness and include UCONN in the mix.. which it says should be between 7 and 8. What BS. It just throws UCONN into the middle and then made the language provide a BS justification that sounded reasonable.

[EDIT: won't include the whole thing but I asked about SEC friendliness and it put LSU in the middle at 8 and everything I have ever heard from other SEC fans say you do not want to visit LSU]

8. Louisiana State University (Tigers): LSU fans are known for their passion and enthusiasm, but they also have a reputation for being welcoming towards visitors. While the atmosphere can be intense, opposing fans often have positive interactions with Tiger supporters.

***** the answer to Big Ten plus UCONN

Ranking fan bases based on friendliness is subjective and can vary depending on individual experiences. However, I can provide a general ranking of Big Ten football fan bases, including UCONN, based on their reputation for friendliness. Please note that this ranking is not definitive and may not reflect every fan's experience.

1. Northwestern: Known for their hospitality and welcoming atmosphere, Northwestern fans often receive high praise for their friendly nature.
2. Indiana: Indiana fans are often considered gracious hosts and create a welcoming environment for visiting teams and fans.
3. Wisconsin: Wisconsin fans, known as the "cheeseheads," are generally friendly and passionate about their team, creating an enjoyable experience for visitors.
4. Iowa: Iowa fans have a reputation for being polite and respectful, making their games a pleasant experience for all.
5. Michigan State: Known for their camaraderie and hospitality, Michigan State fans tend to be friendly and welcoming to visiting fans.
6. Nebraska: Despite their team's recent struggles, Nebraska fans are regarded as friendly and accommodating to visitors.
7. Minnesota: Minnesota fans, often referred to as the "rowdy Gophers," are generally friendly and create a lively atmosphere at games.
8. Penn State: Penn State fans, known as the "Nittany Lions," are generally welcoming, but the large crowds can sometimes lead to mixed experiences for visitors.
9. Purdue: While not known for an overly enthusiastic fan base, Purdue fans are generally friendly and create a pleasant game-day atmosphere.
10. Ohio State: Ohio State fans are passionate and dedicated to their team, but their enthusiasm can sometimes create a more intense atmosphere for visiting fans.
11. Rutgers: Rutgers fans are generally accommodating, but their fan base is relatively new to the Big Ten, so experiences may vary.
12. Maryland: With a relatively new fan base in the Big Ten, Maryland fans are still establishing their reputation, but they are generally friendly.
13. Illinois: While Illinois fans are dedicated to their team, their overall friendliness may not be as highly regarded as some of the other Big Ten fan bases.
14. Michigan: Known for their intense rivalry with Ohio State, Michigan fans can sometimes be less friendly toward visiting teams and fans.

Including UCONN in the mix, it is important to note that UCONN is not currently part of the Big Ten conference. However, if we were to include UCONN based on its previous association with the Big East conference, their fans are often regarded as friendly and passionate about their team. Thus, they could be ranked somewhere around the middle of the list, perhaps between Minnesota and Penn State.

feel the same about PSU but you step away from NU, they are fking ******** and I guess it's common knowledge per other boards.

My most recent was in St Martin, long story short, some NU fans starting taking pot shots at RU and NJ but I set them straight. Hell even the bartender offered to call them an ambulance lololol

Well remember, they think the N on their helmet stands for knowledge.

 

[angmo]

And our corn is better too

Their fking corn fcks engines up. The two eff words are to up my intelligence quotient.

 

[JayDogSmooth]

PSU and Iowa absolutely belong there, they are very friendly to opposing fans.

Except of you’re a Buckeye fan walking through enemy territory

 

[angmo]

The cursing article got pulled. Knew it was too good to be true. Probably my fault for abusing the privilege.

 

[RUTGERS95]

Except of you’re a Buckeye fan walking through enemy territory

holy ****!!!!!

If I’m not mistaken, that not a new one.

I think we saw this a few years ago.

 

[RU206]

Not my experience at PSU in 2015. Night game, tailgating all day, and lets just say the home team fans were not friendly. And we were at the game with PSU alums who invited us to their tailgate. Obviously the people were with were friendly, but not many of the others.

 

[Section124]

People say the Nebraska and Iowa fans are great, but when I went to games at Iowa St, they were not so great and friendly. It's always different if it's a rivalry. Now I am not saying their fans are not great overall. They are. That Penn St / OSU video above appears to be at a frat house (probably prior to a white out game). No rival fan is getting treated well at a darty.

Yep it's a few years old
I'd be horrified if our fans pulled that

Kids or not, that's bs
Heckle, have fun, talk trash, etc.
But that's over the top

Iowa State is not IU. The IU fans at Iowa, and when they came to RU were incredibly nice. Their Rivals board is extremely friendly as well.
Iowa nice is a real thing.

Sorry if I was not clear. I attended ISU-Nebraska and ISU-Iowa games. The opposing fan bases acted as you would expect in rivalry games. Fans from Iowa do not like Nebraska and love to make fun of them (mostly in a good natured way). ISU-Iowa has the big/little brother since the state is mostly Iowa fans. Overall those fan bases are much better than what we see here. Midwest nice does have a passive aggressive side.

I lived in St Louis for a time and traveled to many games. I always get a kick out of people that, 'when they were here, they were the greatest so you really don't know what you're talking about' lololol

there are douche fans everywhere and if you were a fly on the wall when you leave their company, midwest can be just as nasty and backstabbing.

lol at people that think they know cause fans showing up were nice
none would tell you to your face what they think of NJ or Rutgers
The animosity and rivalry across former b12 and B1G schools is real, it's deep and it can be nasty

you really have no idea what you're talking about. the deep animosity between iu and isu is pretty deeply rooted. iu treats isu like the kids at a community college or leech taking funding away from iu. Get a bunch in a bar watching the game and it's like early Roadhouse.

Those fans that travel here, do so out of love for their school. They think you live in the armpit of America and think Rutgers is beneath them. They may smile to your face but when they are alone, whoa nellly can they be ruthless. I've seen it first hand. Don't fall for the smoke and mirror because they really do believe they are apex predators in all things.

I think our fanboard is nice to people that show respect and we've the reputation for being NYers. Hell Southern Gentleman is practically an honory degree holder at this point.

Thanks for mansplaining.

Perhaps you missed the follow up to my post by the OP I quoted.

I'm well aware of the hate between ISU & IU as well as the hate between all of Nebraska & all of Iowa.
I've also hosted fans from Iowa ( someone from the Iowa board who took good care of using Iowa brought 10 of his friends to RU last year) & Nebraska (we've hosted @huskersalways & he's hosted us twice). & Ohio State & a bunch of other B1G schools, who yes, all come to Rutgers think it's gonna suck and are very pleasantly surprised at our tailgate atmosphere, the Boardwalk, & in stadium atmosphere. I also make it a point to walk around talking to visiting fans at the boardwalk & up at the Scarlet walk (which I go to every game).
Yes @Southern Gentleman is an honorary board member. He hosted us in Arkansas & we've hosted him. I still text with him quite frequently.
I don't find a need to **** talk opposing fans at home or away. If they want to **** talk me or RU after I walk away so be it.

Do you even go to games anymore? Go to away games?

now you sound even more retarded with your aggressive 'mansplaining'

you just have a 'pie in the sky' view that has no basis for reality. big deal they came to a tailgate and had a good time. I'm sure they were nice and I'm sure they were respectful but you are talking about .01% of the fans. I also think you're blowing smoke up our asses as there is no way anyone from any midwest school except Northwestern would say our in game atmosphere is good. lol it's not even close to many of those schools

you remind of the people that travel to different parts of the world and go to tourist spots and then try and tell everyone that it's so wonderful, no crime, no slums, nothing wrong with the place.

comedic

 

[e5fdny]

Can we all agree the NJ State Penn crowd is the worst.

Almost as bad as tOSU guys from NJ wearing Buckeye varsity jackets that didn’t even go there.

The NJ born Michigan fans are also a miserable bunch.

 

[brgRC90]

Lots of people think being a fan of something makes them somehow superior to others. It doesn't.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

We also seem to attract the worst of the worst fans of the visiting team. Almost 9 years since we joined, and they keep showing up and showing their asses.

Most of them are from the area (either originally or post-grad). That’s why they’re asses lol!

 

[RCBeta79]

Just another misused social media tool to rile up groups of people.

 

[JerseyNoles]

My impressions of fans that have come to RU:

PSU = Fine for normal folks, the Hoboken douchey types are plenfiful though and super arrogant

Iowa - I thought they were weird. Like super weird. Not bad, not good.. .just weird AF

Sconnie - Drunk. Very drunk. Almost of control

Michigan - Cocky. Arrogant. Guys sitting in front of us this year in bball were the worst

OSU - Loud. Proud. Passionate.

Sparty - Cool bunch. Like to party. Down to earth

Corn - Very nice. Almost too nice.

IU - Michigan level arrogant in bball. Iowa level weird. Add in the clown pants and theyr bad

Purdue - Right up there w/Sparty. Cool bunch.

Maryland / NW / Illinois - No issues w/them

Agree with MSU and Purdue - have had only positive experiences home and away with both schools. PSU and Michigan are certainly tied for being the biggest aholes and generally its pretty widespread - the good ones seem few and far between.

 

[e5fdny]

The NJ born Michigan fans are also a miserable bunch.

To aloof…the actual local alums. The Walmart Wolverines don’t bother me as much.

It’s a different kind of annoyance. Wouldn’t mind if those types who sit near me still come to the games.

But the State Penn NJ folks, if they never come back…it would be too soon.

 

[SteveVA2]

I worked for the University of Wisconsin for 10 years. Speaking strictly of the students, they were known for showing up late to the football games, being drunk, and swearing. During the week they were quite nice.
