I started watching football young.  My stepdad had always watched and I started getting into it.  He was a Buffalo Bills fan, so I naturally watched alot of and became a bills fan. Thurman Thomas was amazing and made the run game my favorite aspect of football.  But then the Bills went to 4 superbowls in a row and lost every one.  At my young age, this was crushing, and I lost faith in the Bills and realized they werent MY team, they were my dads team.  I kind of drifted for the next year or two without a team.

Then the two expansion teams hit. Panthers and Jaguars.  I decided to choose one of them, because I didnt have a history with any team, and new teams seemed right for a reletivley new fan.  I ended up choosing the Jaguars for no real other reason then I liked their colors logo and team name best.  It helped that after that first rough year they had a solid couple seasons, which helped cement this budding football fans loyalties (And Fred Tylor showed up and was an exciting runningback).  Since then there has been alot of suffering, but its years like this that make it all worth it.

So I've been a fan  since literally day one.

Just came up with this post because I was looking back on the rough times and realizing how it made the current trend of this team even more exciting.  Ah nostalgia, the sweetest drug.
