If you have ever visited Buffalo NY, you will know that sports fans refuse to quit hoping for their team no matter what the odds. Sure, you are more than likely going to be let down by joining this elite group of sports fans, but you are going to have one good time doing it.

Difficulty: Challenging
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Patience
  • Wings and Pizza
  • Sense of justice
  1. Step 1

    Learn everything you can about your beloved Buffalo franchise. Know the height, weight, draft picks, birthdays, and favorite food of all the teams players. Know what kind of pre-game ritual they have, and swear to do the same yourself.

  2. Step 2

    Get your wings and pizza ready if you are at home, or a classic Buffalo Stadium hot dog if you are watching live, and prepare for action.

  3. Step 3

    Talk about the glories your team will achieve today. Know all the weaknesses of your opponent, and pick at least one player on the opposition to hate with all your might. Its especially good to select a former Buffalo player, and cheer when they mess up.

  4. Step 4

    Whenever your Buffalo sports team does something right, explode with glee, declaring that you know this is their year. Shout about it as loud as you can. If your drinking, drink more in celebration. If you're at the game, verbally reprimand the nearest opposition supporter.

  5. Step 5

    When your team does poorly, messes up, or blows an incredibly close game you have to lament, drink more beer, and declare that once again its back to the classic Buffalo mistakes.

  6. Step 6

    In tight situations, clutch a couch pillow or your hands in front of your face, and watch wide eyed at the inevitable horror that is about to unfold.

  7. Step 7

    Never, ever leave early. Each year of Buffalo sports illustrates another glorious chapter in last minute boggles or heroics. Goals and points come in flurries with this city and games are not over till the buzzer sounds even though victory would seem inevitable.

  8. Step 8

    After the game, call your local talk show host and blame the coach and one player who messed up a single play that you have convinced yourself turned the game around. If you cant find one, blame the referee regardless of his culpability. If the team won, you can comment on how the city is finally starting to come around with a championship team.

Tips & Warnings
  • You're in for the long haul. Buffalo sports fans party hard, but they are most often disappointed.
  • Do not lose hope, there is always next year.
  • Remember that as a Buffalo fan you're part of an exclusive community recognized around America for its resilience. People will look up to you for this.
  • Do not drink and drive. Its still not fashionable to get pulled over coming home from the game or spend a night in jail.
  • Watch out for fans more dedicated than you. They can get a little crazy, but you will never forget their contribution to the Buffalo sports mosaic. Just be sure that contribution isn't something to do with you or your car.
