Jumping on the Bandwagon, NOT !!!!

LongTimeFan · 05-02-2006, 03:31 PM

I already have seen people in general who said the Saints would never amount to jack and not worth watch to now saying they'll watch them and can we catch a game?, I said hell no, I'm going with a fan like myself who has followed this team even in the worst days..
A few weeks ago Benson said on WWL that there was going to be big things that will happen to the team and that Saints fan would be happy with the decisions, man he wasn't lying.

Just with the addition of Bush, we have gained alot of fans. Its the guys who watched the saints all these years though all the bad seasons that stayed positive every off-season, that when we become Contenders, it will be the most rewarding.

Yep, that much sweeter.
I remember years ago there was this chick I wanted to date, she put me off for 3 years and one day out of nowhere she asked me out, can't tell you how sweet it was, really I can't, not here anyway (smile)

Bandwagon? Not here.....every grueling year since the beginning of the Sunday Ticket offers I have sat and watched and cheered my Saints. You know what I say...let them jump on. It would be nice to walk into a store here in Miami and see actual Saints merchandise for sale. I am sick of nothing but Dolphins(which is obvious) and a bunch of Vick replicas and a few other teams but NEVER EVER THE SAINTS!!
No hats...jerseys...not even friggin shot glasses....NOTHING! Let them hop on the wagon...if there is one thing I would love to see is actual representation of our team in the malls and sporting good stores.

My friends ask me how do I do it. I tell them patience...cause the day it happens...I may actually cry. And that never happens.

The bandwagoners are more than welcome. The money is still green. I also like the idea that high schools across America will be full of kids wearing Bush's number in black and gold instead of the 90 different variant Vick jerseys floating around.

The bandwagoners may not last long, but they can at least be walking billboards for us.

I agree. Support is support. We should encourage those wanting to support the Saints.

Are you in?

try being in my area where 95% of the people are steelers fans.....there for a while i could find a common bond with the people that admitted they were bengals fans, but now they laugh at me too. to hell with them though, if and when we do win it all, itll mean more to me than they can imagine.

I feel you man. Every wear around here I have to put up with Steelers and Falcons. I just can't wait to rub it back when we become an elite team. And Jeebs, I couldn't have said it better myself.

I live in Iowa. I get ragged on every year for being a Saints fan by Vikings, Packers, Bears and even Steelers fans (where there is a contingent everywhere). I know this year I'll see at least another Bush jersey in the bar. I will smile, I may even go and talk to the guy/girl. I'll also smile, knowing he or she doesnt own a Deuce jersey or a Brooks jersey (yes unfortunately) or a Horn, Ricky Williams, Stallworth, or Turley jersey. I already called the local sporting goods store and they said they are definently going to be carrying Reggie Bush jerseys. Small victory for me, I save on shipping
