Vote: How far do you take fan rivalries?

Updated: Aug 30, 2007, 5:41 PM

Fans will do, say and wear some crazy things. But how much is too much?

Two fans walk into a bar ... and all hell breaks loose.

According to the Associated Press, two men -- one a University of Texas fan, and the other a University of Oklahoma supporter -- got into a fight in an Oklahoma City bar last month after the Texas fan came into the bar wearing a Longhorns shirt. Things got extremely ugly from there.

When we heard this latest story of violence provoked by fan rivalry, we wanted to know: Have rivalries gotten out of control? Is it any kind of a trend? And are average fans disturbed by this kind of thing, or is it somehow the norm?

We turn for answers to these questions to the wisdom of the crowd, to the expertise of you folks who fill the seats in bars and ballparks across the country.
