The sad thing is they will and we'll still be on his board and instead of bitching about players, coaches, GMs, etc, we'll be complaining about the fans. It should be fun.

It's kind of like when you follow a local band that makes it big. You're happy for the band, but it sucks that instead of paying $5 at the door and having a beer with the drummer after the show, you're shelling out $50 to ticketmaster and fighting a parking lot full of traffic after the concert.

Excellent analogy.

Wow. That is the most succinct summation of how I will feel when the cardinals win the superbowl that I have ever heard.

Nice job Pariah.

But when they win "Allright maybe we can keep it going we are going to win next week too". I mean either be down on em or up on em.



Umm, there's a Cards bandwagon? Where? :confused:

I find most fans -- of any team -- are usually up on their team when they are winning and down on them when they are losing. If your team has a really bad game, then true fans vent their frustrations. If your team wins, you hope they can keep the momentum going. That's not bandwagon, it's just the way it is. Just because we bash the Cards for losing 44 to 6 to THE BROWNS doesn't mean we are no longer fans.

And, if you REALLY want to talk about bandwagon fans, take a look at your fellow Cowboys fans. They have been MIA for three years and now they're reappearing everywhere.

Cowboy Fans BANDWAGONEERS!? Please tell me you were kidding. We/I've supported my team Forever. Even last year when we were pretty bad. I did not trash them, like most Cardinals fans.

I am dead serious.

That's great that you have supported them through the bad times. My sister has, too. That's what you're supposed to do. I'm saying that, five years ago, I saw lots of Cowboys fans. The past three years? Not so many. Now? They're all back.

BTW, my sister DID trash the Cowboys. After every loss she called texas stadium and left a long message for the coaching staff. (I'm sure lotsof people got a good laugh listening to these messages. I know I did.) Is she less of a fan than you because she stated the obvious? That they sucked last year? If that's your contention, then I'd be happy to put you in touch with her. I'm sure she'd love to debate this with you.

Saying that Cardinals fans are bandwagoners is ridiculous because NO ONE gets a bandwagon for winning two games in a row. Plus, you say this after listening to a radio show where fans are venting their frustrations. How can a fan NOT vent frustration after a 44 to 6 ass kicking? Does calling a radio show and venting make a person less of fan? My take is no.

So, I guess in essence, our definitions on bandwagoners and what makes a bandwagoner differ.

On a side note, I never though I'd be called a bandwagon fan by someone who is a Cowboy's fan, infamous for their abundance of bandwagon types. :rolleyes:

AMEN!!!!

:thumbup:

Obviously this kid lacks life experience big time!

Oh, yeah the bandwagon has fallen apart! All 30,000 of us!

Kid, (Phil) I really hope that you aren't the poster child for education and the critical thinking it's supposed to teach. Because if that's true, then we all have a lot to worry about.

Thanks, but Im not a bandwagoneer. The only time Ive been a Cardinals fan, was when I was little and did not know they were the worst franchise in all Major sports. I did not know much back then, but now have converted into a Cowboy fan, and have been for about 6-7 years. But thanks for the compliment on being smart.:thumbup:

Theyre are some bandwagoners in the world of Cowboy land, but I am not one. I supported my team last year. I supported them the year before, and heck forever. I loved when we had Deion, Emmitt, Aikman and the man Micheal Irvin, but I know those days are gone. I love watching Roy Williams, Terrence Newman, Dexter Coakley, Quincy Carter, and Glover all play. Plus bill is the god of all coaches. I will always support my 'Boys as long as Bidwill is not the owner. I mean this guy is a moron. IMO.

Any Cowboy fan that lives in Arizona is a piece of crap.

Sorry you were brought up wrong.

Cowboys' fans in Arizona are the epitomy of bandwagon, go ask your dad why YOU are a Cowboy fan.

Get a heart son, you live in Arizona not Texas. Have you OR your Father ever even been to Texas? They put the City/State in front of the team name for a reason. Also you will learn that 6-7 years is not forever.

Yours Truly, The King of Cards!

:biglaugh:

Wow you converted to a Cowboy fan 7 years ago?

2003 - 7 = 1996.


Bandwagon child joined the Cowboys wagon when they beat Pittsburgh at SDS.

:rolleyes: How old were you then? 5?

You front runner.

Ok, I think that after reading all the posts in this thread that I have lost sight of the original subject.

What's the point again Phil?

I like how Phill11 jocks the Suns/Dbacks board as a huge fan but always bags on the Cards. Is it because the Cards are never good? Get a life bandwagoner.

********. Most Cards fans are diehards.

Most Cowboys fans are bandwagoners. Kid, you are totally full of it. I'm sorry, but our attendance is always so low because we have a small, but loyal fanbase.

Dallas has large crowds when they are good, small crowds when they suck.
