Grew up force-fed the Dallas Cowboys through the early 90s as a kid since my dad was from there. When the expansion happened my dad said it was a good chance to get my own team to follow for my life like he did the 'boys. He told me since I was born in South Carolina that the Panthers would be a good choice but we were living in Florida at the time and I had no real ties to Carolina (moved from there when I was still a baby) I picked the Jaguars and haven't looked back. I was a bit too young to really enjoy the earliest years. I was 10 in 95 as well... but I watched when I could catch them on TV in NWFL. Once the 99 season came around I was more of a football fan, really understanding what I was watching. That great (and terrible) year really hooked me and I've been die hard ever since. Still chasing the dragon it would seem.
But it is great to actually have a team I've been watching since its inception. A team I grew up with. I get to know that I've been a fan, through good times and bad (mostly bad) and when/if they ever win the big one I'll know I was there from the start.
