    It damn sure aint easy. I have several jerseys, hats and t shirts, a flag mounted to my mailbox, a lawn flag, flag on my car and a lot of other stuff too. I try to represent my team because of my passion for the Titans. I've watched every game since I became a Titan fan in 99'. I've been to 3 games...all of which were wins (thank God). When asked who my team is I respond "Titans"...and I Take all the "Oh sorry bout that" comments with a grain of salt. It's easy to jump on the bandwagon when a team is winning...I swear to God I saw more Titan fans come out of the woodwork in 2008 than any other year!

    Being a Titan's fan is what I am. For good and bad (last Sunday being a new low for me) I'll hold my head high and say I'm a Titan fan. I've enjoyed the good and endured the bad. Through it all watching them play still brings joy to my life...even though it SUCKS to be a Titan fan right now. There will be better days ahead I'm sure and of course more let downs. Go Titans!!! Looking forward to April.

    That is how you and a lot of us feel, but look at the fans of a team like the Browns. Those are truly some hardcore fans because their team has been garbage not for 1 or 2 seasons but for generations it seems, yet they still hang in here "hoping" for a break through. We are definitely tired and frustrated but it could also be definitely worse. I will keep "hoping" for a break through as well, because what else can I do?

    I love this team so much that even if we become mathematically eliminated from the playoffs I will still look forward to watching my Titans on Sundays. The off season is brutally long and boring. I don't want to be sitting here in March having football withdrawals and knowing that I took watching my Titans for granted just because we didn't make the playoffs.

    Regardless of what happens, I am extremely intrigued to see how guys like Kendall, Justin, and Taylor Thompson continue to develop. I want to see if our defense can maintain or even up their level of play. Long story short, playoffs or no playoffs the Titans are my favorite sports team period, I'm here for the long haul, and there's plenty to watch for.

    It's tougher being a Titans fan than any other fan in the NFL - other than maybe the Cowboys (since their last Super Bowl).

    And here's why... Most of the teams that suck genuinely suck. They aren't very talented. They just aren't good enough. We've shown we can compete and beat most teams this season. But it only gets us 4-5. And on top of that we had four championship caliber teams and came away with zero rings. I'm sick of it. At least the Browns, Jags, etc come in to each and every season with no expectations and just get to sit back and not worry about anything. We are too stressful. I really don't think I can be a fan in my 70s because I guarantee I would have a heart attack. I'd just watch highlights. My grandpa is that way with UK... doesn't watch their games because his heart rate gets too high.

    So maybe Vikings and Bills have it worse, but from 1999-present I don't think there's a more frustrating team than the Titans.

    We better get this sh*t right one day. I can't go to my grave without us getting a ring. At least I'm still young, but Jesus... Poor Bud. Couldn't even get him one damn ring before he died.

    I love this thread! I have been down ever since Sunday, but when I see there are still other hardcore fans out there. I know I am not alone. One day....someday...maybe 3 years or maybe 20 years. The Titans will find there way into another Super Bowl.

    That's what I love about NFL, the Ravens just won the Super Bowl last year and this year are a long shot to even make the playoffs. The Texans were 12-4 last year, yet only won 2 games so far this year. Chiefs were 2-14 now 9-0. Every year is different and I know one day we will be a top team again.

    And that day will make winning feel that much more sweet after all these years of salt....

    I have been watching this team since 92 since I was about 8 years old. I love this team but it loves to toy with fans emotions. Even in 92 the oilers went out in style up by 35-3 over the bills and manage to lose the game. I will always root for this team until the day I die but this year my frustrations have boiled over and I find myself losing control sunday afternoons. I WANT CHANGE and I think we all do.

    When I was 8 and I watched the oilers lose that game I cried, I was a kid. When we lost the superbowl I can't explain how I felt , it was a mix of feelings as I know Mac 9 gave it his best shot and we were so close. When we lost to denver in 07 on Mon night, I kicked friends out of my apt, punched a hole in my wall and had to pay for it. This past sunday I LOST it for a few hours and calmed down eventually. Many years of boiled up frustration, thankfully I have beer and Jack Daniels to help me out and some good fans on here to talk to that understand.

    The year we drafted Vince I believe we started 0-5...after that I lost IT! I took all my titans stuff out of my living room and threw it in an army duffle bag. I was so damn pissed! After that we won our first one at the Redskins. Go figure.
