I've been a skins fan since birth ( I actually came home from the hospital in a skins onsie) and I was born in TX. My grandparents were fans and my family is from the DC area, so I was brainwashed very early. I didn't really start watching and understanding the game until I was 11. (I watched it all the time, but never followed players and such) and after the 91 season its been pretty much down hill, but my love for my team has done nothing but grown.

Having said that, I don't understand the fairweather mentality. I can't see how you can jump on board for one team without really jumping on board. Its kindof like a marrige... better or worse ordeal... and thats why I feel like the winning and the redemption is more for me than all of the people who only watch when we are winning. Its just a feeling, and I know it doesn't amount to much, but Its a good feeling and if we get into the playoffs or even if we don't this has been the best season I've seen since I serisously started watching football. (I was too young to really understand the game, and therefore apprecieate it when we won in 91).
