[QUOTE="Terre Haute Cheesehead, post: 402719, member: 3410"] When BF went to the Jets, I said, "bah bah, and tough Schlitz," Like Coach Dale said in the movie, Hoosiers, "My team is on the floor!" I'm really going back quite a way, but immediately after the Dolphins went undefeated, Miami gear was flowing abundantly around here and stuck for awhile, then began to drop off until Marino's tenure. And now? Seeing a Miami jersey is pretty much like spotting a dinosaur. Long droughts between winning a SB [I]{didn't send me packing during our 30 year wait for #3} [/I]tends to exterminate the bandwagon fans I have seen pop up around my area. Throw the Rams jerseys in there, too, for one and done. And no doubt the Colts moving to Indy has attracted fans like a giant magnet, as it should, just as is the case with the Packers representing the state of Wisconsin.
