    Fans are fans for various reasons whether it's a certain player(s), location, how well the team is doing, family loyality, whatever. Nice to have the excitement for a change to be honest.

    almost everyone did. there were a few waves of player fandom..

    1. Oilers fan who transferred when they did

    2. Fan once they moved to TN

    3.Fan during 1st season or shortly after.

    4.VY fanboys (Pretty sure they no longer exist)


    Pretty sure the Titans have not acquired any significant amount of fans since 2006, and most of those are gone due to VY flaming out.

    Most people here (that weren't toddlers or a little kid during 2000) became fans from 1999-2003.. Just an assumption. Since then, there's honestly no reason for anyone to become a long-term Titans fan.

    Hopefully that changes with Mariota... 3rd time's the charm (with drafting a QB in the Top-10) :toast:

    This franchise is in no place to be turning away fans, I welcome anyone who takes an interest in the Titans.

    Bandwagon fans are what they are, theyre easy to spot and easy to forget when theyre gone..

    I became a fan because my family is all Steelers fan, and the person I am, I like to go against everyone. So me and a friend decided to go with the team that had Heisman trophy winning OHIO STATE BUCKEYE Eddie George.

    Just so happen a year later, we went to the Superbowl so that pretty much cemented the fandom.

    I don't care why you are a fan, as long as you aren't a fair whether fan. Stick with your team no matter what.

    I have a ton of respect for Browns fans (they have suffered through a lot) ... I have 0 respect for Colts fans (bunch of whiny fans, and any that are around my age haven't really ever had to endure tough times). I honestly wonder how many colts fans will stick around when they suck (which will inevitably happen at some point)

    I assume you haven't met a ton of browns fans.. they are obnoxious, and overall not too respectable in any way.

    You are right on about Colts fans (at least a lot of them)
    They don't know hard times at all, as a fan. If it ever comes their way, they may bail..
    But sometimes bandwagoners are in it for the long haul (like we are/were)
