I know I have been inactive around here for a while.  I haven't bought tickets to games in a long time either just because I had 4 kids in a span of 4 years.  Although I've become more of a casual fan, I know there are alot of fans who  have still been going to games and watching every game this team plays.  Cheers to you!

The last time I bought season tickets was during the Gabbert era, and literally every home game was like a blowout loss.  I know people at those games are still going today and suffered even greater through the Gus days.  As a casual fan I would just not watch the games.  I would just change the channel or go do something else with my day.  I had no desire to continue watching the team break records for being horrible, but congratulations to the ones who kept going to games through all of that.  This is what it's all about.  Investing in a team that will one day become great again.  The day has come.  The time is now.  Enjoy it while it lasts.

This post should be added to Wikipedia and Urban Dictionary under the definition of "Fair Weather Fan"

Not attending games does not make you a fair weather fan lol... if you still root for that team, you are still a fan of that team.  A fair weather fan is someone who goes from team to team based on who is winning at the time... aka 99% of today's youth.

Whoever the hot team is, is who people follow, that is fair weather fanning

So many "elitists" around here, are you more die hard maybe if you continue to go to games and pay money for tickets while watching blow outs? Sure I guess, but someone who doesn't go to games is not a fair weather fan
