[QUOTE="PtownIllini8, post: 1436603, member: 646012"] Almost all of my close friends and brothers (say 25 or so) picked teams when they were young and still today 40 or 50 years later follow the same teams. There were a couple that didn't really follow baseball when they were young, but came to be Cub fans as they grew up, so 30 or so years ago. Probably 90% or so have the very same teams. When talking about fandom, we're talking about while one is living, so not truly eternal, but yes, ceaseless and ending only in death. Illini, Bears, Red Sox fan since the late 60s and will be to my grave, irrespective of how they do. Fans that don't view it that way are casual fans, front runners or bandwagon jumpers. [/QUOTE]
