Fair Weather Fans

It probably is what you say it is. But sometimes people who are already diehard fans of a team just don't usally fly the colors and when they finally have something to cheer about, they take a leap to wear something they normally would not get caught dead in (style wise or for whatever reason).

I have a neighbor who bleeds Ohio State scarlet and grey, yet he never wears their gear as normal attire. The guy flys to half their games each year. When they made it to the title game (vs Florida) a few years ago, he flew an OSU flag and even sported a ball cap one day. Same thing happened with a Texas tech fan two blocks down when they busted into the top 10 two years ago. They were not even remotely fair weather fans. I work with a Saints fan of 25+ years who had a Saints pin on yesterday. It's not his style to wear sports stuff, but yesterday he made an exception. Good for him.

No question the Saints have some fair weather fans they also have some hardcore fans who have suffered since that team was formed in 1971. Their history has been nothing but losing to the point that fans wore bags on their head but they were still at the stadium bags and all.

To those fans congratulations on a championship and hanging with your team all this time. For them this is a long time dream come true

Amen.
The Saints have a HUGE group of die-hard fans who have followed them through thick and thin. They used to pack out that Superdome on a regular basis even when the team was sub 500 or worse. I lived there for 7 years in the 80s...those fans were crazy in love with their Saints.

True. LSU has been the one beacon for the fans in that area and when the Saints were bottom dwellers the football fans looked to LSU but no doubt the true Saints have endured allot over the years
