We all know that there are a whole lot more Charger fans now than there were at this time last year, and I'm sure we all know somebody that we would call a bandwagoner. So in your opinions, what is a Chargers bandwagoner?
IMO, a Chargers bandwagoner is a fan who started becoming a fan like yesterday to 2 years ago. Up until 2 years ago, the Chargers were one of the laughing stocks of the NFL. It was sad times in San Diego. Only seeing like 2 or 3 games a season because they were being blacked-out and such.
Great post.
This is where I draw the line when it comes to the Chargers fanwagon.
Do not tell me you're a die hard Charger fan if you've only been a fan of the Chargers for a span of 3 years. I'm not going to knock that they're a Charger fan, but I'm going to knock that they're saying they're die hard. Do not say you bleed blue and gold if you have not been through hell and back with the Chargers. If anything, hell for these fanwagon fans was last season's 9-7 season.
Example. There's this dude I know who will remain nameless. I've known him give or take 3-4 years now. Real cool cat and very nice dude. When I first met dude, it was during the Chargers 4-12 season. I rocked the same Chargers SD hat that I still rock, a Chargers Satin Jacket that I still rock, and my authentic Seau from 02 that I always wore around him. Not once did he say that the Chargers were tight. Hell, they were complete doo doo in 03. But yet I still repped, just because it was SD.
Now, this guy has a Chargers tattoo on his body and claims that he bleeds blue and gold and is a big time Chargers fan. SMH. It's cool that he hopped on the Chargers nuts after the 12-4 playoff season but what really bugged that crap out of me was that he said he was a die hard Charger fan.
Get the eff outta here. You want the true definition of a die hard Charger fan that really bleeds blue and gold and has been down since day one. Ask Alvarez, the guy that runs Bolt Pride. Those guys are the epitome of a die hard Charger fan.
Just because you've been a fan for about 3 seasons and you have a Charger bolt tattooed on your body does not make you a die hard Charger fan. You have no idea how it feels to go through hell and back with the Chargers.
Yes, the Fanwagon is rolling hard right now in SD. Yes, SD has the hugest fairweather fan base. It cracks me up when Charger fans accuse Steeler fans of being bandwagonners. Because Chargers fan are the worst at being loyal. The paper bags have been off these last 3 seasons.
My season ticket neighbors have been holding about 7 seats since 1993. I've only been holding since 03. To be honest, I don't think I'm ever going to stop being a season ticket holder unless they move out of state or somewhere close to the bay. Ride or die with the Chargers, that's how I roll. Just like how I roll with my Lakers.
Something fanwagonners cannot take away from us fans that have been down since day one is the fact that we stuck with the Chargers for God knows how long. They can't take away the faith that we put into the team that one day, we could actually finally win a Super Bowl. They can enjoy the feeling of winning a Super Bowl, but they can't enjoy the feeling of winning a Super Bowl knowing all the blood, sweat, and tears we put in as Charger fans for all these past seasons.
With that being said, big ups to you OG Chargers fans. Whether you began during Air Coryell or the Boss Ross era.
Big ups to Rodney Culver and David Griggs RIP.
Remember those tears of sorrow some of us probably shed back in 94 when the 49ers handed our heads to us in the Super Bowl? Well, this season, I hope we have tears of joy because this could be the season that history is finally made in SD and a chip is brought home. It's destiny folks.

Well I'm not gonna lie...I was a big 49er fan when i was kid,
I'm not going to lie either, growing up as a kid, I was a 49er fan also.
You've got to be a damn fool if you weren't a fan of Joe Montana, Jerry Rice, and Ronnie Lott.
I guess that explains my soft spot for the 49ers.

I have a favorite but not for baseball... eww boring. hahaha I don't care if they win the world series I will never be a fan again... If only SD can bring a bball team I know about the clippers and rockets.
How can you not love baseball bro?
It's America's favorite past time. As boring as it may seem on tv, watching it live whether it was at the Murph or Petco just has a mystique to it.
I dunno, I love baseball. Maybe because my favorite athlete of all time, next to Magic Johnson, is Tony Gwynn.

I still hate Harry "Holding, number 72, offense" Swayne, our O-line this year is what has me convinced (except for Shane Olivea).
More than Leander "The Human Turnstile" Jordan?
I hate Leander more than Swayne.

CHARGERS, PADRES, LAKERS<----- I'm a fan of them, not a hater of others.AIM:eBay:E-Mail: [email protected]

Anyone remember when the Chargers went to the Superbowl and Z-90 made a song for them. They used that "On Bended Knee" sample. That was the JAM
!
I don't remember that one but I do remember the "Tootsie Roll" Chargers remix...
"Cotton candy sweet as gold, Chargers going Super Bowl..."
Damn, that song was horrible.
CJM, I hope those are the kid sizes you posted in that pic. Because if not, you have to let us know if the men sizes really did drop.
EDIT: Nevermind, I saw your post in the LT Nike Forum Thread.
You had me fooled.

City of San Dieg"Clack Clack Clack Clack"

Let's just hope the City finds a new home for the Chargers in San Diego County...soon. All this talk about them leaving San Diego IF they don't find a new place for a new stadium is kinda pissing me off.
And to think, about 4 seasons ago including this current season, Charger fans wanted the Chargers out of SD. Remember the UT?
Now we want them to stay.
Fairweather fa sho.

'm not so-sure about Charger fans wanted them out of SD.
by the way whats UT?
No they wanted them out.
The UT is the Union Tribune. I clearly remember, because I was going to write a letter to the editor in regards to Charger fans, yes, even season ticket holders, that wanted the Chargers out of SD because they were just utterly horrid during the 4-12 season.
It was in the voice of the fans column.
As far as the mayor's stand point, yes, he really didn't side towards the Chargers, but all I have to say is, ticket guarantee. Remember guys, when the fairweather fans weren't filling up the stadium, the city was paying for all those tickets that were not bought.
In regards into getting the new stadium, this dates back to the 4-12 season also. With the Super Bowl being held in SD back in 02, that would mark the last time the Super Bowl would be in SD unless a new stadium would be built.
The Chargers tried to push that with the city, but unfortunately, a 7-9 season, followed by an 8-8 season, and then 4-12 didn't help to convince the city council members and the mayor.
Btw, Former Mayor Muphy and Donna Frye can eat a bowl of dog food.
