I think that is from the language of the Boers of South Africa and Rhodesia.

You are a Steeler fan if .......you would stick with that team and be loyal to them even if they had 10 or 12 or 20 years of lousy, losing football.

There is the real test. How many of the bodaghs that come on here professing to be Steeler fans really fit the bill?

You might be a Steeler fan if you have 2727 or 1388 posts on a Cleveland Browns message board.

Nevertheless, all evidence points to the fact that even during the week before the Pittsburgh Steelers are to play in the Super Bowl, the thing that is foremost in your mind is the opinions of the fans of the Cleveland Browns.

Thank you for being aware of the priorities in life.

Again, ask this simple hypothetical question:

Does anyone here think the Steelers fan base would be as avid as the Browns fan base is now if the Steelers had a dozen years of piss poor performance on the field?

To be honest I think the people in Pissburgh would still be dedicated but all these bandwagon fans outside of PA would jump ship in a heart beat. That even includes all these Ohio trolls roaming the forum.

Someone needs to open up a store that lets you trade in team merchandise so they can milk these bandwagon fans for all they have when the stoolers start to lose. Im pretty sure you would lose money though seeing as how they all buy they're jerseys from walmart and wear it a hundred times between washes. Not to mention the damage done to the back of them from all those greasy mullets rubbing on it.

actually the reason i'm posting here this week is superstition.

i have come here every day this season and posted whenever i felt like it, but since the playoffs have started i don't deviate from my routine at all.

and i'll reply to your question with a question.

what on god's green earth make you think the Steelers ever WOULD suck (like your team has) for a dozen years or more?

in the modern era of free agency you have the ability to turn around a woeful franchise in 3 or less years.

don't you think the Steelers would be able to do the same? do you really think our FO would LET something like 12yrs of bad football happen?

nope.

but anyway, to answer you........i think we would lose some "fans". your typical bandwagon/casual fan. you know the ones...................don't mind if they miss all or part of a game..........don't know the starting players names.................don't watch unless they're in the playoffs...............root for any team from their hometown no matter the sport when their winning.

don't act like you don't know what i'm talking about..........if you need an example just look at your cavs.

hardcore fans never go away, and we've got plenty of those in pittsburgh and around the world.

Your Routine:

1. Wake up and eat sh*t for breakfast.

2. Troll the George Michael message boards for possible restroom hookups.

3. Eat sh*t for lunch.

4. Have a restroom hookup.

5. Troll the Browns Board looking for restroom hookups.

6. Eat sh*t for dinner.

7. Go to sleep and dream of restroom hookups.

And no, I'm not interested.

What is it about the word "Hypothetical" that you don't understand? Yes, I know that word is far above the intellectual level of all but a few Steeler fans, but I was hoping we might have a few of them on here (truly, I didn't expect you to be one of them.

But to answer your question: the reason I think it, is because it will happen sometime. That is not a prediction, it is a fact. When? I don't know. Sometime.)

in the modern era of free agency you have the ability to turn around a woeful franchise in 3 or less years.

don't you think the Steelers would be able to do the same? do you really think our FO would LET something like 12yrs of bad football happen?

nope.

What makes you think that any organization "lets" 12 years of bad football happen? (except maybe the Bengals). It happens despite their best efforts.

but anyway, to answer you........i think we would lose some "fans". your typical bandwagon/casual fan. you know the ones...................don't mind if they miss all or part of a game..........don't know the starting players names.................don't watch unless they're in the playoffs...............root for any team from their hometown no matter the sport when their winning.

Ahh, see here, your small mind doesn't get the distinction. There are 3 basic kinds of fans.

Fan type A. The true, hard core fan. The fan that, YES, would stick with their team even if they had a dozen piss poor years. I believe you when you say that you have plenty in Pittsburgh and some around the world, though I believe that they deserve the opportunity to display how hardcore they are, as you claim..

Fan Type B. What you describe above. The Fairweather fan. The Casual/bandwagon as you say. The ones that pay attention basically only when the team from their town is winning. And of course I know what you are talking about. I essentially invented the classification system. Yes, the Cavs had them, the Indians had them when they were winning.

They are fans of a team when they are winning....but, they are not like the Type C fans in that they won't switch their allegiances at the drop of the hat.

Fan Type C. The FRAK. The FrontRunnerAssKisser fan. The fan whose loyalty is essentially for sale. They will root for the winning teams, but switch allegiances when they find that that winning team is no longer successful.

The Steeler fan base is replete with those types right now in my opinion. Another example recently were the Chicago Bulls. You saw Bulls jackets everywhere. As soon as Jordan left, all those jackets ended up in the Salvation Army bins, only to be replaced by Lakers jackets. The Yankees probably have the biggest pile of FRAKs on the planet, maybe followed by the Cowboys, the Steelers, the Celtics.

If the Steelers suffer a few years of bad play, the FRAKS that follow them will run like rats off a sinking ship, just like all those FRAKs of the Bulls ran. (some of them may have even likely run over to the Cavs when they got LeBron)

Nah. I will just let you tell us about him if it is that important. Not sure what he has to do with The Cleveland Browns.

Did he bowl with Nixon?
