Topic:  How can you spot a townie at the games? Author Message greencat General User Member Since: 3/12/2005 Post Count: 2,239 Status: Offline     How can you spot a townie at the games?    Posted: 1/12/2022 12:13:02 PM  When I see the games on TV, sometimes it seems easy to spot the townies in the crowd by certain "Appalachian" modes of dress, hair styles, etc. Back in the 1970's it seemed like there were lots of biker townies in and around Athens and southeast Ohio. Now, it's something else, right?

Maybe you can see me right behind the home bench in my Canada Goose coat, quite Appalachian indeed.

And the more the better at both Peden and the Convo. They make the difference from a crowd being good and GREAT!

Yup. Looks like OP got tired of judging people by their musical taste in his random rap thread so he's trying out judging them by their wardrobe. We should rejoice that we're one a very select group of MAC teams that has has fans, yet here we are with a stupid town vs. gown thread. I'd say it belongs in Siberia but that suggests it has some off-topic value.

I always thought it meant you had to be born here. After 25 years of residence I think the town local is a bit more appropriate. For what it's worth, my daughter and granddaughters are townies (products of O'Bleness) and I've been here going on 42 years - local - but I'm not sure what any of us wears could place us as something specific.

This team has talent and gamers who finds a way to win. I would like to see the "o" zone get back to its passed performance. I can remember the 1970s days when I thought people would fall over the railing cheering.

Even in the “lower bowl” on the bench side there’s a good mix of all types of folks. You might a a townie if…. Can somebody hit a pull up jumper for me?.....

And not from Amazon either...from a small obscure record shop where the hipster clerk burned the roof of his mouth because he ate his pizza.....before it was cool.

Now, it's something else, right? Here's a couple questions for you to help dig your hole deeper with your shovel. How would you specifically define a "townie"? How would you specifically define "Appalachian modes of dress, hair styles, etc."?

In the game thread, there was something about the number of townies at the game had increased, so I asked started a thread about "how do you spot said townies at the game?" Then a couple of people looking for something to b!tch and whine about about decided b!tch and whine about the question. Then after pointing out a young lady with lime green nails from a google image (and NOT saying there was anything wrong with lime green nails... just pointing out she had them) a certain person had a PMS episode over it. Which was totally predictable. Sort of like the people who tried to pretend there is nothing objectionable about "music" that tells people to go out kill other people.
