I knew a lot of the players, and I definitely wanted them to win. But let's be honest, I really had no idea what was going outside of a typical 10 year old's understanding of football.
I started playing football that very next fall, as we couldn't start until 5th grade. It was then I started getting into it more and more. So, my appreciation for the game, with a religious following of the team started in 1990. In 1992, when I started High School is when I really got into it.
It's been one long, painful journey. And to add insult to injury, I can tell this story in pretty much the exact same way if I insert the Reds for the Bengals.
tldr. Born at the wrong time, in the wrong town, set up for 30 years of suffering.
What do you mean "had"?
