What sports team has the biggest disconnect with their perceived level of success to their actual?

[Ed MOTHEREFFING G]

and plus in the past 25 years [since you guys love to arbitrarily make goalposts for what counts] Oklahoma has the same AMOUNT of national titles as michigan


EDIT: but ya know what @NYC Rebel, i'm not going to tell you how to gauge oklahoma's level of success; I grew up in Ann Arbor, but you played FOR oklahoma, so i'm certain you know how you all measure success from being in the program [and that is not sarcasm, at all]

Thing is...the past 25 years isn't enough for OU fans to celebrate

voted the ducks...they were some shyt, got good cause of the fast pace offense, but still aint won shyt...yet the media and their fans act like they are unfairly treated and should be herald as a powerhouse...no...

reading posts, think people are letting the board affect they decisions....I don't hear no one talk about the knicks like that except on here....knick fans I know even know they some shyt lol....same goes for the eagles, chargers, and anyone in the sec not named bama or lsu....

and as for people asking for the cowboys to be on the list, why?....the fans and media know they some shyt....the media only talks about them cause it gets ratings.....and yea, the fans (myself included) want them to do better, but it's not like we're holding them up there like a current nfl powerhouse....hell, when the owner talks more about winning ratings than football games, that lets you know where the franchise stands lol....

I voted for the Hawks...I see their fans round here talkin alotta sh*t. Have the Hawks ever even made it to a Conference finals?

Their fans come up with nicknames for players that will be forgotten about soon after they retire. Touch me Teague me? To me that sounds like a group of gay Hawk fans that wanna feel up Jeff Teague

Handsome Al? Man Im surprised these Hawk fans weren't lobbying for them to sign Jason Collins

So to sum it up, the Hawks fanbase closely resemble a gay parade, bunch of fans wearing rainbow colors cheering for one of the most irrelevant teams in the NBA

 

[TKOK]

Gotta go with the Knicks. What kinda perceived success do Hawks fans think they have?

Yeah. Either people don't get the question, or they just blindly let their hate of the Cowboys shine. NO ACTUAL COWBOY fan believes we are a contending team. We shyt on Jerry Jones (who has been the main problem for Dallas since 1996). We shyt on Tony Romo. We know we've been a mediocre franchise since 1996. We don't believe we are anything but average since that time. That is opposite of what the thread was saying lol. The only reason you keep hearing about Dallas is because ESPN and NFL Network keeps talking about them and you keep watching them. When it comes to the NFC East, the eagles easily win this.

Yeah, except that's not reality, least where I am. The few Cowboys fans I know and have interacted with are straight dikkheads. I know me being a Bengals fan had a good amount to do with their feeling of superiority, but the dudes can't talk fukking rationally about their football team. Its disgusting.

 

[daboywonder2002]

i gotta say the dallas cowboys. still living off those superbowls in the 90s. thats their only comeback whenever a cowboys fan gets clowned.

Every fanbase has this though. Dallas has a larger share because Dallas has a larger fanbase. I've always said the Cowboy fanbase is the most illogical fanbase in the NFL. But most Cowboy fans are realists. They know the problem and don't hesitate to speak out about it. I know here in DC, you will meet some of the most delusional people on the face of the planet concerning the Redskins. I know Steeler fans that's from Pittsburgh that get annoyed with Steeler fans that's not from Pittsburgh.

you must be talking about actual cowboys fans that live in dallas. cause most of these so called traveled cowboys fans still think the boys are gonna do something .

 

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Definitely the Knicks. They haven't won anything in my lifetime and are most famous for other nikkas having career nights in their gym.

No. I'm talking about the Cowboy fans nation wide. There are plenty of annoying Cowboy fans in DC that talks mad illogical shyt. There are also plenty of Cowboy fans in DC that know the team this year will finish no better than 8-8 again.

Get the fukk out of here. Every year the cowboys end September 3-1 and get to talkin big shyt and after they choke in December they get brought back down to reality. They think tony romo is a HOF qb (there's a thread even on here about it). Just cause they had tangible success over 18 years ago doesn't mean shyt now but don't tell them that.

Eagles fans have an a$$hole base but they are asses to their own organization. They talk shyt cause generally they do have a chance every year because they have been the best run organization since 1999 or giants if you want to argue Eli throwing a duck up getting stuck on a guys helmet makes them better run than the eagles). Eagle fans know at the end of the day there is no super bowl and that makes them pissed at the organization, not talkin shyt about how they are going to win it.

In the Donny era they were legit Super Bowl contenders for like 5-7 years so I don't understand how that is a disconnect from their actual talent.

That's like saying since the 2000s pistons only won once their fans have a disconnect with the talent even though they were contenders from 03-08

Are you serious? The bold is a perfect example of Eagles' fans overrating their garbage franchise. The fact that you're even entertaining the idea that a team that hasn't won a championship since 1955 is a better organization than one which has won two championships in the last decade is categorically ridiculous. Even if you do put an asterisk next to the 07 title, which is moronic, what about 2011? Didn't the Giants win it all that year too? Do you really think that being 2-0 in the NFC championship game and Superbowl isn't better than being 1-3 in the former and 0-1 the latter?
