But if someone likes a team when they're good, sticks with them through some tougher times, they can't be a fan??

And dont get me wrong about bandwagoners, I hate them too. I freaking can't stand the Sabres right now because everyone here acts like they've been with them since day one, when the arena was empty and they almost contracted a few years ago....but I dont think you need a real reason to like a team. You just start to like them and if you stick with them I dont see why that can't be your team.

I'm just being very general. I mean I'm not a die hard Duke fan or anything, I root for Syracuse every much as I do Duke, so it has nothing to really do with them. I just think you can start liking a team because you enjoy watching them and become a fan.
