People throwing my name around like this...geez...
You darn straight I was a founding member along with some other Coeburn fans. The Crazies have mutated into something I still support, but the Crazies were born about 2 years ago at the PV/Coeburn game @PV. Lots of Coeburn fans who were really into the game and we're behind the team (some have fell off since then) were good enough to stand up, organize, and yell for the boys, game in, game out.
We need to change this...there needs to be more kids dedicated to the team--keep the rabid fanbase going. You ask any of Coeburn's kids if it helps them on the court...they'll tell you 100% that it helps and they're glad to have the backing of the crowd. If there's any Coeburn kids out there, I'm not asking you to go to the tailgates. I'm not asking you to go to the games and stand up and cuss the refs--for that matter, I'm asking you not to do that. I'm asking you to have the will and the love for your team to stand up and yell for the boys representing your academic institution...regardless of what mega, MOX (which I know ya'll are just playin w/me...not mad) or others may think about how good/bad Coeburn basketball has ever been.
Solidarity in the fanbase makes the boys feel like they have a responsibility to uphold--they're accountable to those fans that stand up the entire game, yell and cheer them on, whether it be at Council or in Coeburn. I wish I could help better organize this bunch that's taking care of things now but because I'm in Abingdon working during the week--it's going to be hard for me to make it to every game. That being said...I'm proud for anyone at any school who has the school spirit to stand up and yell for their boys/girls in their athletic endeavors.
I still find it funny, however, that other schools will get a group of their kids together, have signs/noise makers/organized cheers, and will put down the Crazies as being "tacky" for doing the same thing. Jealousy breeds contempt is all I gotta say. I won't let the Crazies die...trust me. Gonna be around for as long as I have a say in it.
