Someone who is an avid supporter of The University of Akron Zips Soccer. Like a hooligan but less violent and more offensive. Rooligans are the best fans in College Soccer.

Get the Rooligan mug.Roligan (maj.; Roligans) is a nickname used to describe danish sports fans, in various sports, however most commonly- and originating from football.
It is often used as a joke antonym to the english football supporters; "Hooligans", because the danish fans are extremely calm and nice, whereas the english hooligans often shine lasers in the eyes of their opponents.
The description was first popularized in the 1980s, and was a sort of movement to spread a message to the world, that football should be about having fun, cozyness, being calm and well-mannered. Indeed "hygge", often frowning upon the aforementioned crazy, unsportsmanlike behavior of hooligans
The word itself derives from the danish word, "rolig" which translates into "calm". Then pulled together by the last 2 letters of "hoolig'an'"
