santoro770 Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 When I was leaving the stadium yesterday I had an old guy and his daughter start taunting me telling me to enjoy shoveling snow.....I live in Orlando so obviously this didn't apply to me. The guy proceeded to tell me that my allegiance was all messed up because now that I lived in a Jaguars market I should automatically become a Jaguars fan and the fact that I no longer live in the Buffalo area means I have already betrayed my team. His reasoning was as follows, "we moved from Denver to Jacksonville a year ago and you don't see us wearing Broncos gear anymore do you?".... To which I had absolutely NO response.....so for all you Bills fans who live outside of the Tri State area - according to these Jags fans you have already alienated your team and have to switch... HA!

Florida_BillsFan Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 I was at the game yesterday (also from Orlando) and was amazed that when the Jags got the ball back following our field goal with 4:01 left in the game - hundreds of Jag fans headed for the exits...... Way to support your team
dib Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 I get the same cr@p You live in the Dolphin market you should root for the Dolphins. I tell them I would rather chew broken glass.
marauderswr80 Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 I live in Jets & Giants country mostly. Some Bills fans sprinkled in. I used to live in Nevada & Iowa and I have always been a Bills fan. Where you live shouldnt matter.
VOR Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 To which I had absolutely NO response..... The only response is "real fans never abandon their team."
santoro770 Posted September 15, 2008 Author Posted September 15, 2008 The only response is "real fans never abandon their team." I wasn't sure that this would actually get through, the only Jags fans I cared for were the skinny little females wearing bandaid sized skirts and a Jaguars bandana tied around their chest....excellent, we picked the perfect postgame tailgating spot. Being my first away game ever, I was amazed at the stupidity at some of these sun drenched Jags fans - as a side note, I STILL have not ever seen the Bills lose in person!!!
CJPearl2 Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 I hope that guy moves to LA soon, cuz that's where the Jags will be.
rednecksbasketball Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 Dont think I've ever gotten any comments like that. But I live in Salt Lake City and we dont have a team so I can root for whoever the hell I want. or maybe I dont get comments from people because they just feel sorry for me.
MarkyMannn Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 The only response is "real fans never abandon their team." Agreed. However, and I hate to say this, if early this decade I had moved to Boston, I would have become a Pats fan
cåblelady Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 I get the same cr@p You live in the Dolphin market you should root for the Dolphins. I tell them I would rather chew broken glass. You GO! Dave.
AlbanyBill Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 I hope that guy moves to LA soon, cuz that's where the Jags will be. That's what I was saying throughout the whole game. Turn that piece of sh-- stadium into a parking lot and move the team to LA. Jags fans should be ashamed of their inability to sell out games. losers...

Way to support your team Dude, you don't have to lie. There aren't "hundreds of jags fans" anywhere. Tens maybe.
flomoe Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 Orlando here too. I wasn't at yesterday's game but I went to J-Ville a few years ago for the Bills game and the Jag fans are pretty clueless for the most part. Most of the people I talked to were from elsewhere and didn't have any previous allegiance so they decided to follow the Jags. They just don't have the same passion as us Bills fans do since we're born with the Bills and live and die with them. It's more of something to do on a Sunday to kill time it seems. It's not a football town and probably never will be. On a side note to dovetail what Santoro mentioned, Jacksonville has by far and away the best looking fans attending the game fo the 3 Florida teams. There are many many more young women that attend there and aren't afraid to dress like they're heading to the beach. Miami has too many 175lb.+ Hispanic women cramming into their size 3's and Tampa seems to be an older crowd for the most part.
Lurker Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 NO response..... All those people (at the home opener, no less) dressed like blue seats or black tarps are all you need to know about JAX fans...

HA! It's funny you should post this. Did anyone else watching on TV pay attention whenever they showed a crowd shot (and there were plenty)? I swear I remember thinking, "Holy fug...this is one ugly, inbred, white-trash-looking group of bandwagon rednecks." Seriously. Mullets, cheesy moustaches...awfulness personified. It was something straight out of the How-to-be-a-Trailertrash-Frontrunner handbook.

Rhode Island Red Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 Agreed. However, and I hate to say this, if early this decade I had moved to Boston, I would have become a Pats fan What a gayblade comment.... So you count yourself a real Bills' fan, but readily admit to bandwagoning w/ all the NE* 'fans'?? pathetic. I have flown my Bills flag in New England for 12 years, and caught a proper amount of grief for it; from neighbors, passersby, and even family... but NEVER was tempted to hop on the Patsies fagwagon... Bob Kraft makes me puke, and Belichick is worse...
BEAST MODE BABY! Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 The only response is "real fans never abandon their team." Actually, I was thinking something along the lines of "Well, that just means I'm not a fair-weather douchebag."

Chances are that the type of person you saw in a gator fan.
