I don't think it's very nice to call some Stanley Cup winning hockey towns fair-weather just because they don't have the same fan base as Detroit. While it is true that there is potential for a lot of bandwagoners, when your team wins the Cup, none of that matters. The fans rewarded for being loyal is enough. Calling the entire city fair-weather is not fair to those of us who do follow hockey religiously just because everyone else favors other sports.

Not to take anything away from Pat Summit, but Kay Yow at North Carolina State just won her 1000th game, and didn't wait for January. She's coached game after game after game while undergoing chemotherapy and radiation for breast cancer, and is a stunning example of courage, not unlike her legendary NC State counterpart, Jimmy Valvano.
Nobody does class and courage better than an NC State basketball coach, and this year, nobody's done it better than Coach Yow.
