Cowboys/Mavs/Rangers

And I was born in Kailua, Hi. Nobody in my immediate family other than myself has ever been in Texas.

i think unless you are from LA and you saw the cowboys practice in Oxnard as a child, its pretty ridiculous that people are lakers and cowboys fans. yes, they can pick a team and then stick with it, but if you are just picking a good team you are still jumping on a bandwagon, even if you stay on it, you still did it. You should root for your hometown teams, teams near by, or at least teams that your parents or family members cheer for. if your parents were bandwagon jumpers and you have always cheered for the boys and lakers, thats one thing, but if you decided in the early eighties or early nineties "gee, i want to get into basketball and football, i think ill go with the cowboys and lakers! even though i live in cleveland or atlanta" then you are a bandwagon jumper, no matter how long you stay on it.

i know this form experience, my cousin is from LA (rancho cucamonga) yet he is somehow a yankees, patriots and heat fan? ya, that makes sense

One of my best friends from my youth is a Reds fan and a Steelers fan. He started being interested in sports in 1975. The Reds won the World Series and the Steelers beat us in the Super Bowl.

He still loves both teams. How is that a bandwagon? He followed his interests and sticks by them.

how is it not? he jumped on the bandwagon when the teams were good, he just stayed on the bandwagon, so at least thats commendable.

So if those teams had lost the World Series and Super Bowl he wouldn't be a bandwagon fan?

I really think you are stretching the definition too far.

Cowboys/Mavs/Rangers/Stars/Aggies

Aside from the Mavericks title last season, the last 13 years or so has been a series of repeated kicks to the junk for me.

 

[cowboyeric8]

Cowboys and Texas Rangers. All else don't really matter to me. I will go for the Stars if they are on TV because I like hockey but I'm not a die hard. And NBA I pull for the Texas teams.

in my opinion, the definition of jumping on a bandwagon is liking a team solely because they are good. At least he stuck with it though, but nevertheless, he jumped on those team's bandwagons.

Then you are a bandwagon fan of the Cowboys unless you became a fan in 1988 or 1989 or the Campo years.

It isn't because the Reds have been hot garbage for about 30 years.

I started following sports in 1992 which of course was the year Dallas won the first SB. I was 9 years old that year. I guess I'm a bandwagon fan.
Oh BTW. I'm also a Mavs/Rangers/Stars fan. Always have been and always will be.

 

[dargonking999]

I know im not a bandwagon fan, I started rooting for the cowboys in the 2000 season, when my dad forced me to watch football on sunday's instead of sleep. I had not even known a winning season until 2003, and had to endure the taunting of texan fans my first year of high school, thanks to the cowboys.

Do i get a cookie now?

no, you guys are not understanding me, i said the ONLY reason is that the team is good. StylisticS, you follow all DFW teams, prob because you were from the area or someone you knew as a kid was and rooted for those teams, thats not jumping on a bandwagon. I grew up in Austin, my dad is a cowboys/spurs/longhorns fan and so i grew up being a fan of those teams/school. In your example Hos, you used your friend who started following those two teams ONLY because they were good, and in my opinion, he jumped on their bandwagon. Its an entirely different thing that he actually stayed on it at least.

for instance, i have a friend who was born in mexico, raised in Austin, yet he is an eagles fan, he has never even been to philly, yet i dont consider him a bandwagon fan, why? because his uncle was a photographer for the eagles, born and raised in philly, and he taught him as a young child all about the team and so he followed them with him.

so again, i consider a person a bandwagon jumper if they follow a team JUST because they are good and no other reason what so ever.

:laugh2: taunting from texans fans? thats like joan rivers calling charlize theron ugly.

him staying on the bandwagon is another thing altogether.

yeah especially growing up in a family that loves the jets & the yankees.:laugh1:

 

[Cowboys&LakersFan]

Here's my take on this. You should root for wherever you wanna root for regardless of where you're from. I'm a Cowboy fan because it's in my family's blood to be a Cowboy fan. I really wasn't that into football until I started playing football back about 5 years ago. Pretty much since then I've been the biggest Cowboy fan in the family. As for the Lakers I started playing and watching basketball when I was 5. My favorite players were always Shaq and Kobe and I just immediately became a Lakers fan and have been since. Even through the tough years in the post Shaq era I still rooted for them and still watched the games even though times got pretty tough. You just have to realize if you root for glamour teams like myself the Cowboys and Lakers you're gonna get called a bandwagon fan that's just part of being a Laker/Cowboy fan. I'm not sensitive at all so I can take it. I love my teams and I'll continue to root for them regardless of how successful they are.
