All I’ve learned during that time is whoever said “luck has a way of evening out” was full of ****. Ok cool whatever. Dont have to throw shade just because you've been a fan for longer.

Unless you started cheering at age -10 it would be tough to match that. 😁 if you want real horror stories talk to us old timers who survived the 70s and 80s.

That was my team but I went to college in Miami and now I hate them as much as the Gators. I can definitely see it because I lived it That's different, You actually went to the school. You were a part of it. Everyone becomes a fan of their alma mater. In terms of NFL teams, he never was a a part of the Falcons/Bucs and had no further connection to it other than being a fan. youngbloodz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister pudding Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Growing up an hour outside of Philly, when i was 12 I decided to change from my homer status for my football and baseball teams. To avoid being called a front runner, I picked the 2 worst teams in the regular season from the previous year... the Falcons and the Cubs. Some things never change 😕.. but I've stood by them for 33 years or so now Herr Doktor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herr Doktor Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 56 minutes ago, BlazerSlayer said: Why would anyone change their team? If I reached a point of enough with Falcons, I would just drift away from NFL, not find someone else. This is where I was a couple years ago. This board was toxic, the fans were not the greatest and the team found ways to simply suck. I just said **** the NFL all together. Started enjoying soccer again...the United are a lot of fun. The fans are insanely positive and supportive. Then they fired TD and Quinn. Made me pay a bit of attention again. Change was OVER DUE.

Seemingly because the owner is older than dirt and wants to "win" now. Winning what, I'm not actually sure of. PokerSteve 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

falconfansince66 Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Been a fan since its' inception and making Nobis the first overall pick of the franchise (Now, 55 years ago). The disappointments still outweigh the highlights by a huge amount which does makes moments like stomping Green Bay in the NFCCG a few years ago something I cherish about this team the most but then to lose a 25-point lead in the second half of the SB when I finally felt 'safe' about us winning our first Lombardi crash and burned like nothing I've ever seen before. I don't have as much time left as many of you and will go to my grave a Falcon fan. I just hope they can win it all SOON! On the other hand, it's really good that I'm also an Alabama Crimson Tide fan and that 'revenge win' versus OSU in the Natty Game was just too sweet!

I also had a young former coworker that grew up in Phoenix City, Alabama who claims he has been a Pats fan since the Drew Bledsoe days.

Godzilla1985 Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Man I am sorry you made that choice. Honestly I’ll never be anything but a Falcon diehard. I know we’re supposed to say it’s just a game but with everything rotten I’ve been dealing with the past few years it would be nice if the outlet of my sports team would provide some hope instead of the constant nut kicking it’s provided me for the past 4 plus decades.

Falcons because they're home team and Steelers was always a childhood crush. As far as other teams, I'm a habitual bandwagoner. Think I'm about to start pulling for the Chargers as my side team. ya_boi_j 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
