Duck Fan Before..Duck Fan No More

[kaipo07]

I sat through:

1. Ducks seasons when Lew Barnes was the second coming of christ.
2. the 0 0 Civil War
3. Countless Beat Downs by the Fuskies.

I was there when

1. The Ducks tied ND
2. Terry Obie End around beat the Fuskies
3. The Pick

Now, I go to Autzen and all I see is a bunch of bandwagon geeks in Darth Vader and Skeletor gear.

My allegiance has changed to the Beavers, who actually recruit Oregon thanks to their home grown coach from Corvallis.
And yes, the Ducks will Duck it Up and lose a game this year.
East Coast Coach after so many innovative west coach coaches we've seen over the past years??? Blah.

Go Beavers!!

Glad to see you return from the dark side! I'm not old enough to remember the 0-0 game. The first game that made me care about college football was the 1998 Civil War. I kinda like Oregon State already because when I was growing up in Edmonton I didn't get a lot of college football but I did get a lot of Oregon State games late at night from FSN NW. Now I'm in Tucson so I get to see the Beavs in person this Saturday. Might be our first loss in Tucson since the mid to late 90's, but it's been a good run.

I'm sorry, but how can you change favorite teams just because they get some bandwagoners? By this logic you cant like any team ranked in the top 15. Every good team gets bandwagoners and bad fans in general. It doesnt make the program any less good.

This is like those guys who hate their former favorite band when they go "mainstream". go bruins?

I agree.

Being a Cowboys fan, you probably can relate as well.

If you can change that easily you only cared about as much as a bandwagon fan anyways.

That's exactly what it sounds like.

Your team starts getting success, so you stop liking them....good for you I guess. I can imagine a ton fans would love to have your predicament.

Yeah, although we're experiencing a down year on the bandwagoners at the moment, and I'm not sure if thats good or bad.
