OK I will school you.
Dallas wins a bunch of Superbowls. You follow them and they are your team. Now they suck for 5 of six years, but you hopped on the wagon during the superbowls.
Hence
BANDWAGON JUMPER.
Like a Yankees fan.
It's not that difficult of a concept.
Uh and ES has alot more posters.
Hey, Moron........Do you even know when I became a fan?
Let me tell you........1982. My family went to Texas Stadium on a Monday Night to watch the Buffalo Bills play the Dallas Cowboys.
Did the Cowboys play a SB in 1982? Did they win one in 1982? No......That was the game that made me a fan....I followed them since. I cheered them with Danny White at the helm, handing off to Tony Dorsett, and passing to Drew Pearson and Doug Cosbie. I cheered them on with Steve Pelluer as the QB......which was an adventure.
We moved to Missouri in 1986....by then, I was a true blue Dallas fan. My friends ridiculed me harshly in the late eighties...yes, I took their insults on the chin, but still wore the Silver and Blue. The worst season was 1989 when we went 1-15 (who did we beat that year, BTW?), my friends didn't razz me, but merely felt sorry for me.
By the time the ninties came around, I was a "hardened" fan. I could take anything....but something "miraculous" happened. We started winning....
Anyway, I supported this team in the "hard" times, the "great" times, and the "hard" times again. How is this "Bandwagon"?
"Bandwagon" fans, are fans that jump from winning team to winning team. They're fans that have Cowboy jerseys, Packer jerseys, Bronco jerseys, and now Patriot jerseys in their closets.
My closet only has Cowboy jerseys.
You want "Bandwagon" fans....come to Missouri. You'll see them switch between Chiefs jerseys and Rams jerseys from week to week. That's more "Bandwagon" than anything I've ever seen. But I guess by your definition, that's OK because it's from their "home" state.
If I were weak, if I were "Bandwagon" I would've jumped ship a long time ago.....But I'm a Cowboy fan forever.
I speak for all those that are "Displaced" fans of the star. If we were "Bandwagon" fans, we would've jumped ship long ago......
That's what "Bandwagon" fans do......BTW.....I bet you have a Ravens jersey stashed somewhere in your closet....Doncha?
