skyline Posted October 26, 2004 Report Posted October 26, 2004 How great is this? When was the last time you saw so much time on sportscenter devoted to the Bengals!?I actually had some of my students today talking about how badly Chad burned Champ Bailey, and these are kids that until last night couldn't name one player for the Bengals.One of them even said he was headed out this weekend to pick up a Chad jersey I don't like bandwagon fans, but still...it is nice to see the attention, even if it's only for one week.

vettespd20 Posted October 26, 2004 Report Posted October 26, 2004 Its good to see people getting excited but ya its no fair to us DIE HARD fans Quote
BengalBobNC Posted October 26, 2004 Report Posted October 26, 2004 Keep in mind:The bandwagon fans do not suffer as much as we do when times are bad.Therefore:They do not enjoy it as much as us die hard fans when we win, pull an upset, etc.For us die hard fans, this whole week was a gift from the Bengals! I'm going to enjoy it all week long!Note to Bengals: I'm greedy...I want more! A lot more! Keep up the great work and improve on some of the mistakes! We get to celebrate all week, you guys need to get busy preparing for the Titans.Do it! Quote
kevnz Posted October 26, 2004 Report Posted October 26, 2004 Hell I love bandwagon fans...The more the better. How else are you gonna get Bengals gear in stores outside of Ohio? How else do you get the networks to devote time to the Bengals? How else are they gonna get back on prime time TV? Winning only does but so much. People have to want to see the Bengals play. Besides, get enough people on the bandwagon, win some more games and boom...That constant national attention that teams that have huge quantities of bandwagon fans get....Have you ever looked at what some of the other teams have in terms of fan support? Look at teams like the Dolphins, or Raiders, these are teams that haven't won a championship in years, but they developed a nice bandwagon base. Yeah you lose some, but you also build up the fan base and that's what this team needs....Now if they can continue to win it's a nice problem to have. Quote
