What a great post! I think you nailed it! I've been a diehard Rams fan since 1978. Living in the Northwest made that 5 year stretch of losing even more unbearable. My kids always wonder why the heck I am a Rams fan because all they have seen is losing. Why did I pick such a crappy team to follow? Why can't we just be like everyone else around here and follow the winning Seahawks team? Those are tough questions and sometimes I've even started to ask them myself! Obviously, we don't know how this season will end, but it's given me a feeling that I haven't felt since 1999. After going through such fan hell, these victories just mean more because I didn't break my ankles jumping off the bandwagon years ago. I held on tight like a pioneer blazing the Oregon trail battling sickness and despair, but somehow I have lived through it and I finally see the ocean! Go Rams!
