Room on this Bandwagon?

leilung · 01-10-2007, 02:28 PM

Do you think there's room on the Bandwagon for any old body that wants to jump on now?

Some of you guys (especially the long suffering) have some definite feelings on this matter. What's your take?

Hell no! I really don't like hearing people pick us as favored to win. We have been the joke to so many people that now, just because we have the team we always wanted and knew they could be; people want to say they are a fan? No way. I, as well as most of you have listened to the laughter when we tell someone we are a Saints fan. They can be happy for them and us all they want. Just don't call yourself a FAN.

We obviously get the title of "America's Team" just because of the tragedy we had. When I talk to some people out here in CA it feels like they are giving Saints their pity support. I dont need that, we're all grown folks. I was so sick of not being able to watch any of our games in the first 5 or 6 weeks this season without them showing Katrina footage going to commercial... we're all watching the game to not think about that. I thought the "Saints Homecoming" in NY was a slap in the face. Just let the true Saints fans and people of the South enjoy this and everyone else support their own team.. The Saints winning is truely lifting the spirits of the whole area affecting by Katrina and beyond, and I know a lot of people are truely sympathetic to the people of the area so they give their support to our team, but it comes off the wrong way to me sometimes.
Saints fans can all relate on the same level, we've been through the same pain and agony together without even talking about Katrina. We're a unique breed, fans that stick to their team regardless and never just give up on 'em no matter what they put us through. So if a bandwagon fan wants to get on now, pleeeeease.. we've paid sooo much dues to get to this oppurtunity.. I dont think the term "payed your dues" does justice!

...I just had to vent, sorry so long

**** anyone that jumps on the wagon....... bastards laughed at us during the late 90s and up to now.

I am a Saints fan for over 20 years now (ever since I was 9 or 10), we all endured some pretty horrible seasons. I think the only people who I approve jumping on the bandwagon are the younger fans looking for a team to cheer for, but once you're on you're on for good, for better or worse, in sickness & in health, & til death do us apart.

I just recently started watching football this season. I had no intention on liking the game so much but talking with the friend of mine who got me into football I told him if I was going to pick a team it would the Saints. He asked me why and I said that I used to have a job that took me to new Orleans very year and that I loved the city.

So I might be jumping on the bandwagon this season but it is just because the team did so well. And while I have not been there through the lean years. I would have been. I am proud to be a fan adn will countinue to be.

Thanks,

Newest saints fan.

Welcome, but no jumping ship.

saintsfan1313 · 01-10-2007, 08:28 PM

yea, ive been a saints fan since i was a youngin.....i know all of us hate the saints bandwagoners, but remember, if any of those bandwagoners buy tickets, or saints gear, or anything that has to do with New Orleans football, they are helping keep the saints here.....so dont forget that....they can jump on board as long as its helping keep our Saints in NO
