you wouldnt consider it bandwagoning... to only like a guy because hes good in the pros??.. b/c he didnt do anything in college worth noting... if he had been a dud or mediocre i wouldnt see 20 people a day in TENNESSEE wearing INDIANAPOLIS stuff... i dont understand how people love the vols and Tennessee and then root against the TENNESSEE titans... blows my mind... its clearly bandwagoning at its finest

the Titans have very little to do with TN. Rooting for UT is a completely different thing than rooting for an NFL team that just happens to move in near you.

of course i am... same reason im a vols fan... and i PROMISE standings will never change my fan hood... by god im a grizzlies fan

Standings will never change mine either. It makes no since to pull for a team just because they are in the same state as you are. So you are a Titans fan, what if they move? Are you no longer a fan?

I am taking it you don't live in or close to Nashville. Nothing but Titans fans and homers here.

most Colts fans in TN started following them when their record was 3-13. To say it's because they're good is ridiculous. And blindly following a team because of their address is no different than following one for a player. There are no rules around being an NFL fan. I'm a Tennessean and hate the Titans. Peyton gave more to my #1 team than the Titans have ever give

i also like how you act like there is no correlation ... isnt it ironic that this board has 0 bengal fans... 0 cardnial fans.. ive seen on patriot fan... but 1,000 colts fan... i guess its just a coincidence ... cant even go to a local bar with out 3 manning colt jersey hanging up

What correlation? You said "because a team's good" which was absolutely not the case when PM was drafted.

Also when he was drafted the Colts marketed the hell out of TN (especially in Knoxville). All their games were on tv and there was Colts gear at every store. Meanwhile the Titans were taking shots at UT football and not making any friends. Is it really that hard to understand?

Some fans here and around the state could be fans because of Peyton, but who cares? What difference does it make why they are fans?

I don't care what the record is, I am a Colts fan. 16-0 or 0-16. Doesn't matter to me. I am not sure what is going on with all the Peyton hate by you, I guess because he has generally owned the Titans. And you mentioned jerseys earlier, for the record I have an Addai and Wayne jersey, no Peyton.

terrible example. Ainge had much less of an impact at UT and was drafted in the 5th round. He was also destined to sit the bench. If you can't see the difference then you are clueless

and I can assure you I would never be a Titans fan

the Colts were on tv in Chatt during his first few years I can assure you.

and you're the one who decided to post "bandwagon fans!" in a Colts thread which could be the reason you're catching grief. Go hang out in the Titans thread if you want some love

I get/understand the second part criticism.....the first one you lost me. A team playing in a state though seems to have alot to do with said state, especially considering how much the players of this one are involved in the community of the city they're in

you're getting grief because you went to another team's thread and started calling out and criticizing their team allegiances


there is a big titans thread on this board

so all those titans fans weren't following another NFL team at all before the one moved into town? I don't see what they do for the state that all residents should be forced to follow them or be called bandwagon fans.

no one should be forced to follow anyone. I'm of the near same opinion of utchavis that it's just "you like who you like for the reason you like" and that's that. Saying someone "should be a titans fan because of location" falls under that same category as that guy a few days back saying "if you don't support manning and his NFL team, then you're not a real fan of UT" to me


The they "have very little to do with TN" part is the one I think that I don't get / I don't think makes sense there...they have quite a fair amount to do with the state (esp. with the city they're in)

That said, no it's not enough of a reason to say "You HAVE TO LIKE Team A"....none of these things said have been

Let me start off by saying I care WAY to much... If it isn't obvious lol... Sports has always been the biggest part of my life(sadly) .. I used to be a die hard vols fan (90"s") but since the colts have outnumbered titans.. It has put me on the brink of not being a vols fan anymore.. I just can't stand the constant nut swinging by locals.. I might need an intervention... Lol... But not he'll from you guys ... More with my friends and people I work with .. Who mostly admit that that's why they are fans and some who will be Titan fan after he leaves.... But some like people on this board who have KNOW that's why they are a fan... Have though about it so much now they have built up hate for the titans(one of the worst NFL franchise) just to cope with their bandwagoning

both are crazy. I understand the "follow the home team" thing but the titans are more of a Nashville/middle TN thing than statewide. I followed the Cardinals when I lived in AZ because I was about 2mi from Sun Devil. Probably seen more games there than most Titans fans. Not really much to brag about though :p

Same thing can be said about UT to an extent (especially when looking at recruiting).

if it's that easy to drop a team then I'm guessing you have no ties to UT. Maybe try the Mocs

and you repetitive "bandwagon fans" is not helping your case any. It seems like your friends are the issue and not the Colts fans. Maybe you should talk to them or choose new ones

I mean i understand the concept like who you like for whatever reason... Because honestly who gives a ****... But to me I've always had respect for fans o teams like the lions who have followed their team through some good but A lot of bad.... I also relate it to me being a grizzlies fan... I live 6 hours away and I go every year to watch their games... And set through
Many 20 win seasons even taking a greyhound to Memphis during one of those season.. And I know I they were to draft/get a Kobe/lebron player now every one and their grandmothers are fans... But like I said who honestly gives a flying crap... Lol just a little banter

I don think it easy.. It's just obvious i like pros more ... I like the building of a franchise instead of a new team every three/ four years... Plus the bcs is complete turnoff.. And on a sidenote it's sad to say but ID say 65 of my post are in this forum.. Lol
