[Kosar_For_President]

Good ole' Youngstown Ohio here baby, and there are plenty of Browns fans here. Plenty of faggoty ass bandwagon Steelers fans as well.

The Browns fans here are pretty damn rowdy and passionate about their team. We could give two fucks less about what others think. This is Youngstown. And the majority of folks around here KNOW football. Again this is Youngstown, folks LOVE their highschool football: of Mooney, Ursuline, and by extension Warren Harding fame (as well as Boardman, which was Bernie Kosars Highschool alma mater... My step brother had his locker in high school, or so he claims....).

And yes the rich, stuck up, filthy Debartolos are from here. How do I know they are fucking douche bags? Because I went to school with several of their grandchildren.

Anyways, go Youngstown and go Browns. People talk about Cleveland being a rough and tumble, blue collar city, and it is, but I believe Youngstown is even more so. Have lived here my entire life, and people here got some real real fight in 'em.

In my experience you have to search out to find the Browns fans (in nearby Columbiana county), rather than just run into them randomly. Unlike Steelers fair-weather fans...you'll run into those all day long. But when you do run into a Browns fan...it's like running into an old friend.

I will add that again being in NC I do love running into the occasional Browns fan. It's awesome because we all know there's no such thing as a bandwagon Browns fan and I typically have the rare chance to talk about the team outside of here or with my dad.

I live in west TX, nothing but Cowboy and Steeler fans. Cowboy fans..... Well they're Cowboy fans.

Substitute the occasional Saints fan for your Steelers, and pretty much the same in East Texas, i.e., Cowboys 24/7.

My parents live in Naples Florida from the mid 80's until they both passed in the late 2000's,and one of the things they were amazed at was how many Browns fans lived there. I don't know if that's still true, but they were certainly known in south Florida at one time.

A snowbird pipeline from NE Ohio to Naples started in the 60's. My maternal Grandfather was swept up by it.

Maple Heights? Holy Milkovich! People in Texas cannot believe that HS wrestling is 2nd only to football in many areas of Ohio.

Northern ky here...

Typical front-running bungle fans here, spattering of Pittsburgh and some Indy.

Johnny has folks talking and his media presence (although annoying at times)- can only help the Browns nationally. My daughter saw a re-tweet of Johnny and Drake...she asked why their was a browns jersey in the pic-- there's an example... exposure is good for us. I'm not forcing my kids to love my browns , that's like child abuse at times...so if social media gets them courious, so be it. Besides, they will end up loyal fans - in the end. We just need to win.

As far as backer clubs...the northern ky backer club kinda of morffed into the Cincy one - they meet in blue ash area...there's a second registered club north of 275, off of tylersville exit- somewhere. I'm not interested in either...too far for buzzed driving (just my opinion...not the drunk I used to be

The local bw3's (independence and FT. Wright)... Always have browns fans in each...I think northern ky is strong with browns fans, we're just not organized....that's what the backer clubs are about. I have wanted to open a chapter for a long time, and I know it would be big...Just need a place and some more free time. For now, I'm just wanting us to start winning...if that happens, we will all see tons of dormant fans come alive. It's hard when your outside Northern Ohio... The suffering is worse...especially near front-running bungle fans.

Go Browns !!!!

Bermeck (drake is a huge browns fan ? and a huge ky basketball fan ? time for some hip hop)

[ballpeen]

Tennessee here. Most of the fans know who we are since we were in the same division some years back. As someone else said, most view those of us who watch every week...we have about 20.. think we are a bit crazy, but now there is even more awarness since the Haslam family owns the team. The Haslams have been well known in this state for a long time.

People could complete and utterly care less about the Browns here...... Well, now some people care because of Conner Shaw. But then if he gets cut, everyone will HATE the browns since he is such a beloved icon here.

Well, I agree that anyone anywhere probably does not care about any team that is not "their" team....or their rival.

Cleveland Browns fans care about the Cleveland Browns...and hate the Steelers/Raven/Bengals.

And we don't give a shit about the South Carolina Gamecocks or the Clemson Tigers.

South Carolina fans care about the Gamecocks and hate the Clemson Tigers, and don't give a shit about the Cleveland Browns and the Pittsburgh Steelers.

As for following a particular player.....like I said before, if that is what you want to do....follow golf, tennis, or nascar.

Do you like a guy and want him to do well? Sure....but make it just mild interest.

If Connor Shaw can come in here and play and win....fabulous. If he comes in here and sits on the bench...whatever. If he comes in here and sucks gator piss....fuck him.

I for one am not going to root for a guy just because he played at a college I am a fan of. Ryan Shazier can now go jump off a cliff (metaphorically). And the same for any OSU guy that has become a Steeler or Raven.

There probably would be FRAK Browns fans if/when the Browns really start winning. But, in reality, when the Browns start winning...it will literally dwarf the interest shown in most other teams. There may have been a diaspora of people from Cleveland....but all that means is they left Cleveland/NEO, that doesn't mean Cleveland left them.

I went to Valley Forge and remember Maple Heights wrestling well.

This is true, but unfortunately, like so many other sports, wrestling is dominated by the big parochial recruiters, particularly St. Eds.. A great coach like Milan? Milkovich could have a llocal public school stand dominant for a while....but no longer. The only break to this hegemony was when the Wadsworth Grizzlies broke through the money barrier and took the state title a couple of years back for a local public school. And good for them. (and in the interest of full disclosure, yes, my kids attended Wadsworth when they won...or at least my daughter did, who cheered for them).

Yup... or Toledo St. Johns... or Toledo St. Francis...

But from the mid-50's thru the early 70's Maple Hts was a frickin' wrestling dynasty.

I live in the middle of nowhere in the North Cotswolds in England, between me and another member on this board, G-Man, we have flown the flag in our area many times and I now have enough people interested in the Browns to consider opening a BBW chapter - North Cotswolds browns backers, got a nice ring to it. Finding a venue to watch the games is pretty impossible so I need to decide if I want drunken idiots in my home every Sunday - hmmmmm. probably not.

There needs to be a yearly England-wide meet up! Whereabouts exactly are you?

You mean "more" drunken idiots...besides you and Garth?

I love how you stereotype. The days of Cleveland football greatness are a distant memory only in the minds of Clevelanders. Cleveland is a football town only in the mind of Clevelanders, to most everyone else they are an embarrassment of a franchise with ignorant, arrogant, drunken, and boorish fans.

Well, the stereotype of the Steeler fan as a ignorant stupid idiot is no stereotype.....it is an impiracal fact.....You are exhibit A.

So, you don't think Cleveland IS a football town? What do you think it is, a baseball/basketball/hockey town?

Or do you think that LA/San Fran/SD or any of those towns in Calif. are bigger football towns than Cleveland is?

Or, do you just not like the fact that Cleveland is really, by far, a better football town than Pittsburgh, with a better football pedigree?

As far as the days of Cleveland football greatness.....well, a new era of that may just beginning. Certainly an era of Pittsburgh football mediocrity has begun.

[Stewy]

NE Ohio here.

Lots of Steeler fans.

Ok, the thread title says "outside of Ohio"...but I'm originally from Western Pa. and have to mention that during my dads generation, there were a lot of browns fans in Western Pa. because the Steelers always sucked.

So its easy to guess why there are so many Steeler fans in Ohio.

Or do you think that LA/San Fran/SD or any of those towns in Calif. are bigger football towns than Cleveland is? If you measure it by failure and embarrassment then Cleveland wins hands down. Or maybe you can measure it by how how badly the fans "want" a winner, that would rank Cleveland pretty high.

Or, do you just not like the fact that Cleveland is really, by far, a better football town than Pittsburgh, with a better football pedigree? Have another toke dude!

As far as the days of Cleveland football greatness.....well, a new era of that may just beginning. Certainly an era of Pittsburgh football mediocrity has begun. You say this every year, and you are wrong every year, so take a guess what the odds are for this year?

this guy would make any of the most staunch JF fanboys bearable. hell i think lighting myself on fire would be more pleasurable than reading another post from this bowel blocker.

[LovesJohnnysWood]

The only way I can tell a Steelers fan from a Browns fan is...the Steelers fan has 6 rings.
