Everything in moderation. Full, but controlled support is my mantra. These are kids playing this game so I maintain level-headed positive support. And I have more important things to consume my life and eat away at my arteries (like barbecue).

I’ve just always associated frontrunners with teams like the Yankees, Lakers, Cowboys, Man United, Team No Fat Chicks, teams that have a long standing history in our life times of coming out on top. I associate bandwagon fans with something like the Washington Capitals.

but bandwagonners are fans of a team for a long time that only pay attention or care when they’re good.

I’m considering consciously deciding to be a bandwagoner Tennessee fan. the amount of pain in my life would drop drastically and I’d get a lot of fall Saturdays back for the next few years*.

You make a strong argument. I will consider your proposal.

(the Spain example here, god all you white bitches with “espana!” in your twitter profiles need to get beat to death)

I agree. It’s one thing to admire how a team plays, but the way non-spaniards cheer for Spain, you’d think they came out of their mother’s womb wearing tiny general franco outfit.

Bandwagoners = fairweather fans?

That’s the way I’ve always viewed it, guess others don’t though.

Bandwagoners = fairweather fans?

think front runners are people who pick teams just because they’re winning

So new Yankee/Red Sox fans since 1995?

Just an interested party. You’d have to go out and buy some fresh gear to be a frontrunner and/or bandwagonner.

Does that make me a front runner or a bandwagon jumper?

fronsatzkommando, i believe.

I think there’s a lot of mixing of front running and bandwagoning going on here and that’s not really accurate.

It’s not like I’ll take off my shirt and run around if UGA wins national title. I probably won’t even watch the game. But if I find out they won, I’d be like “oh, that’s nice”.

how so? i always considered frontrunning a subset of bandwagoning.
