I'm officially jumping bandwagons

When I first moved to Nashville, I vowed that I wouldn't forget where I came from, and would remain loyal to my hometown teams. It wasn't too big of a deal. After all, everyone here likes the Braves and no one cares about Alabama or Auburn football, so that was easy enough to avoid. But for the first time, I was living in a city with a professional football team...the Tennessee Titans. After having a 4-12 season in 2005, while my Carolina Panthers almost went to the Super Bowl, there wasn't really a lot to cheer for. So when the 2006 season rolled around and ESPN predicted more of the same, I was ready to cheer my Panthers to victory.

...but then halfway through the season everybody got hurt, and Vince Young stepped in and started winning games. I was torn. After all, I'm way too fairweather to cheer for a losing team. I just don't do that. So I finished the 2006 season with mixed loyalties.

So then last night preseason football was on and I got to watch the Panthers play the Patriots and the Titans play the Bills simultaneously. It was a dream come true (and Lyndsay's worst nightmare). The Panthers lost, the Titans won. Even though the Panthers played a much harder team...the Titans played better.

So...I'm officially jumping bandwagons.

Go Titans.
