    Nothing inherently wrong with it.

    No problem with new fans as long as they aren't full blown retards like the VY crew was. That groups would be very hard to match though.

    I grew up a Chiefs fan...never thought TN would get a NFL team...we probably all started with a different team...that of us that are older than about 18 or so anyway.

    Everyone becomes a fan for a (usually arbitrary) reason if you trace it back. It's extremely dickish to tell somehow he or she can't be a fan and act holier-than-thou.

    And as someone mentioned, the Titans have one of the NFL's smallest fan bases. The more the merrier.

    I started following the Oilers when they drafted McNair. The move to TN cemented the deal for me.

    At some point, none of us were fans. For me, i was a chiefs fan (and a soccer fan) when i was growing up. Because my family is from germany and kansas city. But, then i started really liking mcnair and followed him to the oilers. Then it really helped my fandom when they moved to tn, where i have lived most of my life.

    I live in Philly and I am honestly die hard Philly with every sport other than Football. I remember hating the Eagles even as a kid. I just couldn't stand their choke artist stigma, rude and arrogant fan base, and McNabb's horribly inaccurate/chuckling after throwing INT's a##.....I have family and friends in TN and always like Moon previously as an Oiler, then Titans with George (a hometown boy) and co. Never looked back.

    I think the attention is awesome. Of course you draft a fan favorite and great guy the fans are going to follow. I say welcome, maybe our luck is changing. Go Titans. Some of us are die hard Oilers/Titans. I was 2 years old when became a fan. That was 54 years ago. I stay through thick and thin. Last year was hard to watch. We turn it around this year.

    I welcome the new fans too, but I don't wanna hear any bitching if things turn south. :3 maybe the stands won't be so empty this year, though, that'll be nice to see for sure.
