I think you would probably agree that a lot of people our age weren't exactly running to the Jungle. I knew some pretty hardcore fans growing up, but a lot of people in my district (Sycamore schools) turned to other teams. I think a lot of people our age were hoping the Bengals could give them a reason to care, but for most of my childhood they never did. I can remember the excitement around KiJana and Big Daddy, and even some hopeful people for Akili could do, but they definitely weren't the hot ticket item in town. One of my favorite commercials growing up was on WLW where a Reds player was telling fans to come down to the park, and one of his lines was 'Just remember, the Reds win more games in a week than the Bengals do all season."
