I understand what you're getting at but obviously you don't know some of the same fans I know. Whenever a team wins SB's there are ALWAYS people jumping on the bandwagon. Some of the ones I know don't watch games but wear Steelers gear and couldn't even tell you what their record is right now or what division they're in. BTW...I was a fan of the Steeler's for years. I have a lot of respect for this organization but because of Ben and the new "Fans", not so much anymore.

I lived & worked in Pittsburgh for 5 years and the fans there are nuts, its 24/7 Steelers. They arent bandwagon, they are hard-core. I wouldnt judge the loyality of Steelers fans by a few shirt wearers in southeast VA.

Funny you mention that. They had the actor from the primetime show Mike and Molly on Moving the Chains yesterday afternoon on SiriusXM NFL Radio. He is from Pittsburg and talked about how hardcore the Steelers fans were. How they eat, sleep, breath Steelers football. They shut down church for playoff games. Indoctrinate their kids before they can even read. The host Pat Kerwin was saying he was at a Steelers game one time and someone made a comment behind him that they thought they needed to get Santonio Holmes to do punt returns (this was Santonio's rookie season) and Pat turns around and it's a 6 year old kid talking about this stuff. You can't go by the Steelers fans here unless they used to live there. I should know, I have enough of them where I work. Adult and adolescent. Makes me sick.

I'm sure there are hard-core Cowgirl fans too as there is with all teams but that isn't the point I was trying to make nor the fans I was alluding to. I'm talking about their ABUNDANCE of new fans who wouldn't know a basketball from a football. They are fans because of their last 2 SB wins and there are PLENTY of them. Is that clear enough?

I would say that they are some of the most loyal. Bandwagoners follow whoever wins. In the '80s there were tons of Skins fans, then 49ers, then Cowboys, then Patriots, etc. These are also the most obnoxious when someone else's team loses because they don't really care about a team.
