    Team moved to TN when I was about 8 years old ... Didn't really watch much football (it was on in the house but I never payed close attention). That was until they became the Titans and made the SB run. I was 9 years old, and I started watching some of the games and witnessed the SB run. From that year on I was a football and Titans fan

    Born and raised in H-Town loved the oilers for better and for 1993 lol I have lived with warren Moon, Cody Carlson, billy joe tolliver, chris chandler and the man Steve McNair. Playing high school football the goal in life was to get to play in the Astrodome. When they moved I moved with them . I have and will never root for another team. I will always Luv Ya Blue!

    Living in Florida I was asked this question a lot. How could you not root for the Titans after that Super Bowl? In truth I was never really a football fan. Then my dad bought me Madden 2001... you know, the one with #27 on the cover. I chose to play with the Titans because of the Super Bowl and because my dad is an Ohio State alumni. He passed on his love for Eddie to me. I quickly became a huge McNair fan and fell in love with the team and the sport. Haven't looked back since.

    I was born raised in Texas . Starting watching oilers when I was a toddler. Hate the cowgirls. Oilers moved to Tennessee so my loyalty followed. My dad always said I bled Columbia blue. Been oiler/Titan fan for 53 years.

    Pretty much this.

    I didnt watch much football before, then we got our own team. I got lucky and went and saw the undefeated Rams vs the undefeated Titans on Halloween. My second game was the Music City Miracle.

    How could I not be hooked after that. When you feel a stadium shaking and tens of thousands of people screaming like that, there are few ways to experience that.

    Born and raised in east TX, not far from Houston when I was little my dad was a huge Oilers fan and played ball with a couple of the guys on the team that played at Lamar; Eugene Seales, Billy Bell, etc. so I was introduced to the sport and the Oilers at a very young age and always loved it... my youth football team was the Oilers so yea, when they moved to Tennessee I was heartbroken that they left Houston and hated Bud Adams but I followed them and never stopped rooting for them, there is still a lot of Titans fans around here like a lot when they play our Bars are usually full of titans fans, and when they play the Texans it gets real around here...

    Yep.

    Growing up I was always dying for a Tennessee professional sports team (namely NBA or NFL, tbh I was much more of a NBA fan as a kid). So I was ecstatic when we finally got one and jumped right on board. Still wish we would've got the NBA team over Memphis though. I've really tried to get into the Preds but hockey just isn't my thing. I have a good time when I go to the games but it's just never got its hooks in me.
