Game Day

So you are cheering on your favorite team and nearby are opposing team fans. How can you be "true to your school" without being rude to others for opposing teams around you? 

I submit you need to keep your cheers to encouraging your own team and not disparaging the other. That way no one can take offense to the cheers. You can get frustrated with situations but don't yell about the other team. Further, because I am from Big 12 country, I must address hand signs. In Texas schools, teams frequently have hand signals that promote team spirit - the "guns up", the "horns", the "claw", etc. Don't don't don't demean another team's hand signal by adulterating it. That is rude. Keep it positive for yor teams signals and leave the others to their own fans. 

Happy sporting ( and "Hook 'em")
