    Off topic, but I have to ask...WHY would your high school take a trip to Indy when there are so many other places to go?
    And I have to ask, how are you a Colts fan? JT take a lot of about bandwaggoning, but you never seen to get questioned ...

    Since 2001 when I took a high school trip to Indy and hung out at the mall all day, wandered into the food court and had lunch with some Colts fans who converted me.

    I have never claimed to have been a pre-Manning Colts fan but I have been around for the whole Dungy era. I'm nowhere near as lame as monosylab1k who probably trolled google and wikipedia for a week before deciding to out himself as a Pats fan so he could play the "I've loved them forever!" card.

    Do you think you will be a post-Manning Colts fan?

    I wonder how many who claim to be Spurs fans when TP, TD and Manu are gone. There may be about 5 of us left.

    Some national marching band compe ion that's held at the RCA Dome. I wasn't a participant so I pretty much just got to hang at the mall and hotel the whole time. I had a good time.

    At least you didn't pull the pre-Manning card. My BS detector would have exploded

    I used to be a fan of the Spurs, Oilers and Expos. I only got one left. Luckily, it's a pretty good one.

    I will. When you spend several years rooting for one team, it becomes a part of you. And I feel like part of my soul dies every time I touch something with a Cowboys star on it.

    , I will be one of those five. If I haven't given up on the Rangers, what makes you think I would ever give up on the Spurs?

    Then it balances out because my soul is enhanced when that happens.

    I don't mind the Pacers, and I'd like to see them do well...I just wish they weren't an embarrassment to this city. But, if I didn't work nights/weekends, I'd probably have tickets.

    Long story short, I grew up in San Antonio; still consider it home. I've been a Spurs/Cowboys fan since I was a child.
    Now, I live in Indy. I wasn't a Colts fan until I moved here, but it's hard not to get caught up in being a fan of a team when you live in that city.

    Oh, and I also lived in South Bend for several years...the Irish grew on me.

    After this run is over, Spurs fans disappear and the Spurs move, I'll know who is to blame.

    This time I'll just follow them.

    Does it really matter when a person becomes a fan of a team. I became a Spurs fan when i moved here in 95, and you can't blame a someone from out of town knowing much about the Spurs. The media doesn't exactly hype them up. I must admit thou that i was a bandwagon bulls fan in the late 90's as well as a spurs fan.

    Funny story about the Lions...
    Ryan Diem and Jeff Saturday come into the station every Sunday to do a round table with our sports guy, and one weekend, they were asked which stadium is their favorite to play in.
    The answer? Ford Field because it's the only stadium where fans of the home team will root for the visitors.

    Unfortunately it matters a lot because rooting for an out-of-state team to some people is tantamount to cheating on your wife.

    I have never claimed anything different

    I still wasn't even a Spurs fan after the 99 le. I'm a Duncan fan first and foremost. So I have watched most Spurs games since he came into the league. I grew up a Suns fan. I spent a little time as a Jazz fan. I had Lakers and Clippers season tickets. So, in general, I'm just a basketball fan.

    I didn't really start loving the Spurs til 2001 or so.
    I'm all hey! She started the best forum for Spurs on the whole interent. She doens't need to prove herself! that! yeah I'm drunk/

    I don't think its necessarily when you start being a fan of a team but when you leave a team that bothers people. To me, and this is just a personal opinion, you stick with a team no matter what happens. When people bail on a team that starts losing, some tend to see that as a bad thing.

    I agree with you JT, as a Spurs fan up here, I hear the whole "you're in Michigan, root for the Pistons" thing.

    I understand the sentiment. I can't stand local Laker fans, especially when there's really nothing to Bandwagon for.

    I was a Spurs fan all my life but I wasn't a die-hard til 97 when we drafted Timmy. Before then I liked Rockets (when Horry was there, I also liked Hakeem) and the Bulls (because of Michael Jordan) as well.
