While you might find that you really like this new team I don't believe you will ever achieve the true love of your love of the Jaguars.  Memories start to haunt you and make you realize that you really do love the Jaguars and want them to play best.  I switch for selfish reasons (sick of the draft picks by GENEious Smith)... That was a mistake. I was truly a Jaguar and invested way too much in our team... including many times cheering so hard for our guys.  I guess, instead of all that word soup, just be SURE this is what you want to do.  I thought I did when I did it... I truly didn't.. I live in Kentucky and have attended more Jaguars games than the "local" team I began supporting.  You love a team for a reason.. Some time that reason is very hard to understand.  I wish you well. and GO JAGUARS!!!

I feel ya.

Being a fan is an intangible thing, completely separate from logic and reason.

I am British, I now live and work in Mexico. I have never lived in Jax in my life. I do have family there though, and I remember being at the landing Christmas 1996 and everyone celebrating after a jags game. I was 12 and had no idea what was going on, but that kind of thing sticks with you I guess. I didn't really become a fan until 2001 when I really started following the sport, and all subsequent trips to Jax I made sure we went to games. 

There is almost nothing that could stop me being a fan... With the obvious one exception being if they moved the team (which I guess is true for most of us). But even that isn't logical, considering I'm not from there, I don't live there, and I obviously I can't go to games much at all. But I would still feel like it was a betrayal.

Once a Jags, always a Jag.
