This may not be the appropriate place for this. If not move it.

I am a Cowboys fan, have been all my life, always will be. Born and raised in TX I was a big Horns fan too. When I was 18 my family moved to Virginia, leaving TX behind, but my family never forgot our Boys and Horns.

In VA I became a Tech fan, rooting for VT and TX avidly, but sorry Horns Im strictly a VT fan now, and will be for life. I hope the Horns and the Horn-Nation can forgive me for this decision. I will be moving back home next year.

If you can turn your back on the Horns just like that, one wonders how much of a real fan you were to the Horns. Not that it matters, but if your that wishy washy on your college team, you coud be the same with the Boys. Maybe your a closet Commander fan????

If that situation happened at say Washington University, would you be a huskies fan now? Sounds like a bandwagon thing to me.

Either way, I will be pulling for the Hokies a little bit myself, but always an Irish and Horns fan till death.

I can't even put into words how bizarre this is coming from you, eldorado.

Whys that. I never stopped rooting for the boys. I will admit I hate the man you called me, but I never stopped being a boys fan. Like you guys have never hated a player we picked up.

But while I may not like what my boys do sometimes, I never stopped rooting for them. No one can call me a bandwagoner. From day one, its been Boys, Stros, Spurs. I can truthfully say it will always be this way. Again I may not like all the things my teams do but I dont stop rooting for them just because of a single player or event.

But I am flattered you guys see fit to give me a nick name. While I would prefer 'The Anti-el dorado' what you called me is not as bad as it could have been.

You may not have had the stones to go through with it, but you sure talked a good game. Like I said, bizarre.

I think it's pretty easy to change allegiances to college teams if you never attended said college. I can root for Old Dominion to not get their butts kicked too badly in the tournament every year, but I'm a Terps fan given their more established program and proximity.

If I moved to Southern California, I'd probably like USC. Just how it goes.

There's not enough love for LSU on this site!!!

Some of it may have to do with David Lafleur, Bradie James and Marcus Spears, but that's just a meaningless coincidence, ain't it?

I'll admit I was more pissed then I should have been. But then it was pointed out to me that I was not giving my son enough credit. That was my biggest concern, I did not want my son to worship or even like this guy. He is not a role model in any way shape or form. After taking a few months off after all that crap happened. I realized el dorado cant touch my son. He hated him before I even knew my son knew who he was.

So if I did not appoligize to this board after all that (I thought I had, meant too) let me do it now. I did behave badley. I did not handle that well. But its all better now. I still hate the guy, but no longer feel the need to rail against him. 2 reasons. 1) my sons not in jeopardy of falling under his spell and worshipping him 2) he sucks. He cant hold on to a ball. 3) He wont be on the team this year. (hopefully).

But in any event. I never said I would root for another team, I said I would quit watching football all together (or something akin to that). Never confuse passion with bandwagoning.

So to this board and all the pple I annoyed with my rants (thanks mods for not actually banning me, especially WG, we had a few personal notes exchanged, Sorry) I do apoligize (even if it was a year ago, man you guys have long memories). I hate the dude today, but hes benign now and I could care less what he does. I will still jump at the chance to voice my opinions, but I realize I can not do a whole lot about the situation if the boys sign someone I dont like.

In any event. thats the deal. Not a bandwagoner, was just a pissed off, scared little fan that did not like what my team did, but I am over that and back to the normal rah-rah fan I was before el dorado got here.

We still friends?

It's not that we have long memories - but when someone harps on the exact same thing over and over again - and aggravates everyone with it, it sticks in your mind and that person gets labeled when you see their posts.

Don't worry about it. I hate everyone, and I'm a horrible person.

Umm...someone is proclaiming their new allegiance to Va Tech...days after the massacre there. I guess some people need some drama and the spotlight on them. Lame.

So, you became a die-hard Hokies fan, because of the massacre??

One hopes there is no similar massacre at Commanders Park... :D

This Horns fan can certainly forgive you, we don't want no bandwagon fans anyway... there's got to be something wrong with you, though, living in Virginia and becoming a Gobblers fan... anybody with any taste in the Old Dominion roots for Mr. Jefferson's school...

What makes you say that? What I mean is that there is a very small possibility of that happening. I understand where you're coming from (believe me, I do), but the only potential obstacle keeping Owens from being on the roster this fall is his $5 mil roster bonus due this June. Jones has made zero comments stating that he would not pay Owens his bonus. In fact, he has said (paraphrasing) that there isn't any reason to believe that Owens WON'T be playing this year for his team.

But, you never know. Owens may dig his weight set out of storage, set them up in his driveway and call for a press conference. It has happened, you know.

Nothing wrong with that with the exception being that wishing alone doesn't make things happen on their own.
