Cincy wants to love the Bengals. I didn't even like football in 1988 (I was 7 years old), but I do remember how electric the city was. Super Bowl shirts being sold all around the area, "welcome to the jungle" being blasted everywhere. It was a great feeling.
We wouldn't recognize the fanbase after a championship. I think the change in attitude would be significant.
Agree. Hell, I crowed after 2005....for a bit....until the losses became redundant. You'd be hard pressed to find a happier fan than me. I waited 15, then 6, then 14 more years for National Titles in NCAAF after a few "wide rights", it's been four years since, and I'm still pleased as punch with my squad. I still sport Reds gear, and it's been 27 YEARS! I understand the plight of the Reds, and the Seminoles.....I don't get Mike Brown.
