GQ magazine came out with their "Worst Sports Fans in America" list yesterday, and Penn State made a rather surprising appearance at #7.
It's worth mentioning that Penn State is joined on this list by some of the elite organizations in college and professional sports. Among the other teams considered to have the "worst fans in sports" were the Los Angeles Lakers (15), Dallas Cowboys (12), Montreal Canadiens (11), New York Yankees (9), Boston Red Sox (7), and Philadelphia Phillies (1, and the Eagles were ranked #2), as well as LSU football (10) and Duke basketball (8).
What do you think? Are Penn State fans really as bad as GQ paints them to be? Have you had any negative experiences with Penn State fans?

It appears that a Facebook event has been created declaring Saturday, April 2 as "Cinco de State", which we are left to assume is supposed to be another pathetic attempt to create a drinking holiday in the mold of State Patty's Day. And, as our own Chase Tralka wrote last year when Cinco de State first popped up, this idea sucks.
