    When the 'Canes were bad...I was at damn near every game...some away games too.

    When the 'Canes are good...I'm at damn near every game...some away games too.

    When the Jaguars are good, I'll watch every game, will travel up to Jacksonville to catch a select few games. Will see them when they play the Dolphins, pre-season or not.

    When the Jaguars are bad, I'll watch every game, but won't travel and spend my time/money on a product that is inferior...the pro game is a bit different for me...I think fans and the team need to have a symbiotic relationship. If you are an owner and not putting in what I feel is due diligence to make the team a winner, I'm not going to keep giving the owner money. However, if the ownership is putting together a solid product, I will support it monetarily.

    Difference between college and pro game...pro game, I'm merely a fan...college game, I am a Miami Hurricane...bit more of a connection there.

      Sadly, I'll be a Raiders fan until I die. I can't even root for any other team at this point, I have no interest in rooting for any other team.

      I root for the logo, the name, the uniforms, and the players that done the Silver and Black. Whether the team wins or loses has nothing to do with how much I watch them or how hard I root for them.

      I don't watch every game in its entirety any more nor do I go to every single home game like I used to when I was a kid, but I watch as much as I can and then usually flip to another game because above all else I love football more than anything.

        Have had Cardinals season tickets for the past 6 or 7 years.
        Got sunburned so bad at Sun Devil Stadium,that i would have to peel my shirt off of my back.Went to every playoff game last year except for the SuperBowl(Not for lack of trying though..just a couple hundred short for tix).
        I will support this team through anything...

          I've also only left a game early once in that time, and that was in 07, when the Colts were beating us like 30-0 and Peyton was out of the game before halftime, and it was entirely evident the team was giving 0 effort. So, like Killa Pand said, as long as I see the guys out there giving their all, even if they aren't very good, I'll watch them. If I see guys dogging it or otherwise, then I'll turn it off or leave.

          If you support your team, you support your team through the good and the bad. If you don't, then you aren't a fan.
          lol ur either old or full of it. idk if i remember the last time the colts were below .500.....
          EAGLES!!!! 13-3 :pepsi:

            I've always been a Bama and Falcon fan. Even when both of them sucked, I still watched every game.

                I've supported the Ravens since 1996 when they first came to Baltimore and me and my family watched the news the night they came. We were so psyched. I didn't follow them game to game though until about 1998 cuz I had a child mentality and couldn't really follow anything strictly.

                The Ravens slide up and down year in and year out. Occasionally we do well several years in a row, but every now and then we have a horrible year (ex. year before we got Ngata).

                But hey Baltimore had losing records from 1996-2000, until they won the Superbowl. So I've seen the best of bests and worst of worsts i guess.

                  Ill always root for the saints even if they are bad good or mediocre(which most of the time they are) but every now and again theyll have a good season and feels like it pays off struggling through a few seasons. Havent missed a game in like 6 years or so even though ive moved out of Louisiana for a few months i still catch all the games on justin tv every sunday.

                    When I was young, I would watch every game and buy every football magazine. Now that I am older, I don't buy any magazines and I watch much fewer games. I like the Steelers, but they are usually pretty good so its not a chore to watch them. In other sports, like baseball with the Cubs or college football with the Illini, I won't watch them if they suck. I'd much rather spend my time doing something else.

                      Like spying on the L.A. Avengers and their habitual drug usage from the comfort of whatever roach motel you are staying in during a business trip?

                        You make fun, but it was possibly the most miserable experience of my life. Fucking POS Arena football players taking shopping carts full of liquor down to the complex's pool, then literally partying for days on end. Screaming and blasting music all hours of the night. Every week.

                          Next time, PM Viper and tell him to calm his teammates down.

                            I haven't won a playoff game in 13 years and some of you consider me to be a raging homer.

                            Nuff said.
