Bandwagoners

[Big Mike]

Is it just me or do you guys hate people who always hitch a ride on team bandwagons. For example my friend will like My Eagles, Than the Cowboys, and then when he sees NO Saints are playing well he acts like he lives in Louisiana or something.

I'm gonna be an Eagles and KC or at till i die or atleast McNabb, and Westbrook retire . Anybody like me?

[PalmerToCJ]

I was a Bengal fan in the dark years and being in high school pretty much no one else was until '05 when we had the 11-5 year. Everyone was all of the sudden the biggest Bengal fan, even today at my college there are tons of people in Bengals stuff. It's annoying because I know they're all bandwagoners.

YUP. Thats how I feel about that.

I also hate people who claim their falcons fans when they only know Muchael Vick off the starting lineup. Not even Warrick Dunn. I hate the Falcs and i could name at least half the starting depth chart.

I said the falcs cause most black canadians like the Falcons and Eagles due to their black QBs.

[volman88]

I have some friends like that, but I am kind of doing it this year. I have never really been a baseball fan, but this year I'm getting into it so I picked the cubs to be the team I root for because I think they might be kinda good. So I'm kinda doing it but I hate it when people do that alot.

[WMD]

[Big Mike]

Me too. If an NFL team comes to Canada i will support them and then Philly will be my scond fave team

Hockey - Leafs
Baseball-Jays
Basketball-Raps

[PalmerToCJ]

I'll always support my local teams.

Same here. I like the Bengals (obviously), Reds and University of Kentucky Wildcats.

There are some teams I will root for because I like their players (Broncos-Elway, Pacers-Reggie Miller and Texas A&M-Acie Law IV... Eventually I'll root for whoever Acie Law gets drafted by in the NBA).

I don't have a college football team, just can't get into it.

[Chucky]

Even if an NFL team came to toronto i would still be a bucs fan, but i love my hometown teams

[etk]

If a football team came to Toronto I would still be a Bucs fan first and foremost. If it was an expansion team I would be tempted though. If it was just the Bills moving......

i love what your sig says about Colangelo

Sam Mitchell for COY and Colangello for executive of the year

[art vandelay]

Well I like the Bills, so I am definitely not a bandwagoner.

[Big Mike]

I support the local teams for the most part. The Red Sox are my baseball team, but I'm a Red Wings, Lions, and Michigan fan.

[Invesco]

Everyone became a Broncos fan when they went back to back..and everyone here is too and it makes me mad cuz they don't know crap about them..

would you've been at the potential Tigers parade

[GB12]

Packer, Badgers, Brewers, Golden Eagles, Bucks, and Panthers.

All local teams, I could never get into any other teams.

[josh07039]

The thing i hate most is that now that Rutgers football is good people are accusing me of being a bandwagon jumper even though i have been a Rutgers fan pretty much since birth. Nothing I say can convince some people otherwise, even that Rutgers was the only school i applied to, and all the **** i talk about from the bad years.

Anyway, I really hate people who switch teams. I will always be a Rutgers, Yankees, Jets, and a Nets fan. There are other teams I root for because of players they have now or they are fun to watch, but never over my teams.

[Eaglez.Fan]

Eagles

All local teams exept for the eagles.

And I know a guy whose list goes like this:

Yankees (when he realised they were stacked)
Patriots (when they won there 2nd Lombardi)
Real Madrid (when they got stacked)
Red Wings (right after they won the cup)

[frogstomp]

Everyone became a Broncos fan when they went back to back..and everyone here is too and it makes me mad cuz they don't know crap about them..

Seeing as you have 11 posts, I don't know how the hell you can make a broad "everyone here" post. Can you even name 3 Bronco fans without going and looking in the thread?

[Big Mike]

Good Point. In two days i've made 10x more posts he has. But I've been bored lately.

[Vikes99ej]

I'll always be a Vikings fan. It pissed me off last year when all of these people were jumping on George Mason's bandwagon.

[Big Mike]

i hate the way some people lie about how they liked a team for ages. Everyone knows its b.s.

[etk]

I hate the way our 'Does Anyone Else' thread was locked, unless it's going in the HOF

[frogstomp]

If the KMH thread isn't in the hall of fame, I highly doubt your puny mortal thread will make it in.

[duckseason]

I thought the KMH thread got inducted? How the hell do you deduct the KMH from the HOF? Was there an illegal wagering scandal?

KMH tested positive for steroids and a low-grade beaver tranquilizer.

How unfortunate. I was a pretty big fan. It's always the threads you least expect.......and then BAM!! They get caught bending over in a bathroom stall with a needle in their ass.

[ironman4579]

I've always been a fan of Michigan and Detroit teams, having been born and lived Michigan, so all Michigan Wolverines teams, plus the Red Wings, Pistons, Lions and Tigers. I have to say, I've had alot of down years with some of those teams, and it is annoying to see people who couldn't care less about a team like the Tigers up until 2006 now saying that the love the Tigers. Personally, I'll always be a fan of all those teams, no matter if they suck or are champions. Your favorite teams are your passions, and you can't just jump to another team that easily IMO.

[bigmac076]

I have lived in RI since 1986, and my father grew up in San Francisco and was a big 49ers fan. I started playing Pop Warner in 1989 and I didnt really have a favorite team until the early 90's. There was absoultely no Patriots buzz whatsoever then so I went ahead and jumped on the Dallas Cowboys bandwagon, mainly because I really liked Emmitt Smith. Its also why I like Michigan football, I really liked Desmond Howard. Now call me a bandwagoner if you want, but I could have easily jumped on my local team's(Patriots) bandwagon when the Cowboys went cold and the Pats got hot. But I vowed to stay with the Cowboys through thick and thin. So I was a bandwagoner, but that was before I even had a fave, and I was only 13 years old. Call it what you want, oh and by the way my dad. the former 49ers fan, is now a full fledged Pats fan.

[frogstomp]

Actually, it was two needles. And they were being injected by a Beaver. That was what made it so scandalous.

[ironman4579]

Those darn beavers, always getting people into a............dam? bu dum dum ching!

[frogstomp]

That doesn't make sense. You just tried to force in a word related to beaver, not caring for what the sentence was saying.

You could have said ".....hairy situation?" as a hairy beaver reference.

[P-L]

would you've been at the potential Tigers parade
I root for the Tigers when I can't root for the Red Sox because they are the local team and I know a ton about them. So, I probably would've.

[duckseason]

I always suspected KMH had a little too much twinkle in his eye. I guess I just didn't want to believe it. I wonder if there's a book deal in the works. It would be very interesting to hear the story from the beaver's perspective.

Actually, there is.

"A Beaver's Tale: The KMH Mistake" - Clean Beaver.

It essentially talks about how Clean was out of his mind on acid, and got tricked by KMH. It then goes on to tell how KMH then stole all of Clean's beaver tranquilizer.

Finally, it tells about the rampant use of steroids in the Beaver Olympics. I recommend picking this up, as it really shows us what goes on underneath the beaver.

[Acreboy]

Born in Louisiana and hate seeing all the bandwagoners just because we have Reggie Bush.

I was here long before that. I hate seeing it.

Thus the "ba dum dum ching" singifying that the post contained no actual comedic value, beyond the obvious idiocy of the post.

Sounds like Clean Beaver will finally make it out of the hood. That book will be pure gold.

Yeah, that's probably the most famous picture of Clean. What most people don't know, however, is that another beaver just outside the picture (to the right) is waving a gun at clean. Clean is chewing on that stick in an attempt to make a quick spear...

Those were dangerous days... Clean was once quoted as saying "There's nothing more dangerous than a wet beaver with big teeth."

im not a so called fan but i do enjoy watching them because Bush makes it exciting. i dont think theres anything wrong with that.

Not that I question your authority on the subject of Clean, but I'll have to classify this as just another rumor until I receive verification from toonster.



Dude, stop. My freakin ribs hurt I was laughing so hard.

[frogstomp]

There is an enormous difference between enjoying a player and being a bandwagon fan. I love watching Champ, Moss, and Peppers, but am in no way a fan of the Broncos, Raiders, or Panthers.

[TPFKA#1SaintsFan]

I'm a Saints, LSU, and UL-Lafayette fan til I die. I like the Hornets as well, but their future in New Orleans might be a little uncertain. I don't watch much baseball but when I do I like to root for the Mets, because I love New York City and if I'd be a Yankees fan then everybody would say I'm a bandwagoner.

I also don't understand how on earth somebody can have "two favorite teams" within the same professional sport.

[yourfavestoner]

Why do you guys think I hate California teams so much? California is the land of the bandwagon.

[ncst8fan83]

Yeah, I know what you mean. Most white North and South Carolinians like the Panthers because Jake Delhomme is white. Stupid racialists!!!!

[Space Ghost]

my teams certainly don't make me look like a band wagoner.

football: Bills
hockey: Blues
baseball: jays
basketball: raptors

I used to like the Bucs before I atually watched football because my first 2 NFL games were at the Bucs old stadium when I was 10 or so. I got a blues jersey when I was little and they have always been my favourite. I can't stand watching or reading or listening to baseball or basketball if it doesn\t invlove the Jays or Raptors. The only time I band waggoned a little was in the Yankees v. Red Sox series before the Sox won the WS because I hate the Yankees a lot and my brother loves them. I didn't root for the Sox after that series though because I hate them as well, just not to the same degree as the Yankees.

[jets future]

i am a huge knick, jets, mets fan my whole life, and i will never change those teams for my whole life, i really hate band wagnors, it just bothers me. and i will always be proud to be a knick fan no matter what

i think you can have two fave teams as log as they are in different conferences like the Raptors and Warriors. But thats me

[sweetness34]

I'm an Illinois boy! Bulls, Sox, Hawks, Bears, Illini (and SIU), and Cubbies.

[ironman4579]

I'm an Illinois boy! Bulls, Sox, Hawks, Bears, Illini (and SIU), and Cubbies.

Can you even be a Sux and Cubs fan? I thought that was like blaspheme in Illinois(or maybe just Chicago)

[jetsfan3]

I hate that too. I forever will be a Jets fan and will fight through the hard seasons (there shouldn't be many more of those in the future). I have always been a Jets fan through the good times and bad (there were MANY bad times).

[YAYareaRB]

I started liking the 49ers at the tender age of 8. These were the good times to be 49er fan, when making the playoffs was without question. I was a fan through the Young Era, Garcia Era, Rattay/Smith/Dorsey/Pickett Era, and the Smith Era. I've been loyal for all these years and I don't see myself switching anytime soon.

[Shane P. Hallam]

OHHHH i see. I thought yo were born in ARI..
DO yo know why Pittsburgh teams always use the colors (Black,Yellow,White)
Also Toronto Teams are always White and Blue except the raps

The symbol on the Steelers helmet represents the steel workers of the city (long back story, it was a companys logo). Anyways, the companys main color was yellow in terms of outfits and such. Black is basically the smoke of the steel industry.

[VoteLynnSwan]

Haha, yeah, Toonster is the foremost expert on clean beaver... erm... Clean Beaver.

Toonster is the foremost expert on anything beaver related. Hairy Beavers, Smelly Beavers, Ugly Beavers, Bald Beavers, Albino Beavers, he's seen them all.

Why do you guys think I hate California teams so much? California is the land of the bandwagon.

Yup. Thank you. I thought I was the only one who felt that way.

What happened to all those Niner fans? Where did they all go?

How come all these SD fans popped out of no where all of a sudden when 2 years ago, half of em didn't even know who Tomlinson was.

I can't stand it.

The worst though, is the Dallas Cowboys. Theres so many bandwagon Cowboy fans its not even funny. And they all refuse to admit it. Like, for example, a guy from Connecticut in his 20s liking the Cowboys. Hmmm...how did that happen? I wonder if they joined the bandwagon in the 90s and stuck on for the ride? Theres so many cases of that.

[Big Mike]

whenever TO leaves, he attraccts Bandwagoners. I was a fan of Philly since i understood what football was.

[Philliez01]

I was born in IN, actually it's an odd story but here it is:

-My mom went to HS with Franco Harris (the same HS that I now go to) so she's a Steelers fan due to that and her father (grandfather) knew someone or was a drinking buddy of someone. I forget that part, I'll have to ask her.

-My great-uncle lived in IN and he was dying, my mom was close to him but she was like 8 months pregnant but the doctors said that he was saying her name constantly. So she had my dad drive her to IN to see her one last time.

-Thus, I was born in IN but never technically lived there.

I'm a Colts fan and I did go through some bad years, albeit most were a bit before my time. I was 6 years old and watched ESPN and I remember seeing them talk about Peyton Manning and Peerless Price all the time and I became a "Volunteers" fan as I had no college connections at the D-1 Level. My sister graduated from Rutgers and they are local so they are the team.

Josh I know how you feel. If you wear a RU shirt/hat, you will get the people saying "Now, you wear the shirt" though I was wearing it a few years ago.

Phillies, plenty of close but no cigar feelings, the Flyers and I'm not an NBA fan but it would be either the Pacers, Sixers or the Orlando Magic as they do have Darko Milicic.

[doingthisinsteadofwork]

Im a Raider fan.
One of my friends was a Raider fan and now hes a Charger fan.Damn bandwagoner.

[Big Mike]

I feel you pain. SO who you want the raiders to draft

[pierce2walker]

Hmm...annoying bandwagon fans...welcome to the majority of the USC fan base...

[Beans]

Everyone calls me a bandwagon fan for liking the Bucs, but I started liking them a year before they won the Super Bowl.

Other than that, I support my local teams. (Yanks, Knicks, Rangers, even the Giants to some extent, but only because my family likes them.)

[BuckNaked]

I've been a Vikings fan ever since I was young. I believe I began in 1998 when they were actually good, and then they choked(big surprise). When I began watching College Basketball around five years ago, the team that I enjoyed watching the most was Kentucky and have remained a fan ever since. The two other teams I like are the Yankees and Knicks and those are both because I live in New York.

[princefielder28]

It's all about Wisconsin!!!! And Big Ben :)

[jagsfreak27]

I have some friends like that, but I am kind of doing it this year. I have never really been a baseball fan, but this year I'm getting into it so I picked the cubs to be the team I root for because I think they might be kinda good. So I'm kinda doing it but I hate it when people do that alot. Dont do it there is still time

[TitleTown088]

I'll always be a Vikings fan. It pissed me off last year when all of these people were jumping on George Mason's bandwagon.

George Mason isn't bandwagon. Everyone always roots for the underdog in the tourney. Whats not to like about an underdog doing well?
