Ok all you newbies... this one is directed at you.
Since Tennessee was slotted to draft at #3... this forums membership rolls are off the charts. I've never seen such Kool-Aide consumption...

I think it is awesome! I've got to know... tell us...
Are you a ex-Texan convert?

I want your story, as long or as brief as you care to make it...
Vince Young is a Tennessee Titan.

He is what we are going to build this franchise around for the forseeable future. I see all these new screen names like CapricornHorn... BlowDaHorn.. BustAHorn... MeSoHorny... you name it. It's freaky! This team is 9-23 over a two year span and everybody is trying to ride the Vince Young Fantastic Dream Machine... It's great... I know there are Longhorn Fans all over. I found one on the Concrete Board f2fa Eagles message board...

But I's got's to know!!! Are you new Titans fans ex-Oilers that are coming back to Luv Ya Some More Blue or are you just done with the Texans and going with the favorite son of Texas, Vince Young...

I understand any way you cut it... I just want to know who's who that's new and where they are at in this regard... Do you feel me? I welcome all new comers regardless of motive... even if they are Colts fans I'm glad they are here. I think it is awesome that any given afternoon lately there are 200 people surfing Titan Jeffs forum... that's awesome...

So, please come out and let us know about the Oilers, the State of Texas, Houston teams... Longhorns and Vince Young... Whatever your story is I want to hear it! I really do...

I understand the mentality that loves a NCAA player enough to become a fan of their pro team. I live in Chattanooga, Tennessee and let me tell you...

It is Big Orange Country around here... Peyton Manning straight up robbed the Falcons of fans... I get it... People here that didn't give a jack about the NFL all of a sudden were big time Colts fans...

I understand... When Manning was coming out the Titans were developing a new fan base... Manning being in Indy did not help that end at all. I remeber all the UT homer crap at work back in 1999...

Factor in the Houston Texans chronic failure... it makes sense.

I'm posting a poll here. It's public... Come out and we will give you a good old fashioned Tennessee Titans group hug...

I'm so glad Vince brought his own fans... I'm a fan of Vince and have been for some time now. Vince is awesome.

Please note that you may select both options.
 
In less than fifty days goTitans has picked up 178 members.
On March 21 there were exactly 2384 members.
As of today there are 2562 or more. That averages well above 3 new members a day. Roughly 3.75 a day. And that is conservative/precise.

That is crazy short term growth.
I'd just like to gage the scope of this Vince Young spike.

I'd really like to hear what anyone thinks of this phenomenon.

now we have to wade through more useless post from Young's groupies:brow:
useless? :bs: NO WAY! How about all of your lynch P-man and hang McNair rhetoric crap? I like the influx hater man beer drinker nosebleed ticket holder guy. :brow: whatever. Everybody and their brother is going to show up at the Coliseum in a #10 jersey and you know it. Those posts aren't useless. Hell, I want to see more of them. I loved the post by the one dude who photoshoped out an avatar sized crop over where his face was. That was soooo funny. I really got a kick out of that.:lol: He ought to use that as an avatar. That would be hilarious.
 
Hey, the more the merrier, keeps things lively around here... Otherwise I have to stick my head in the video game thread every now and then and get confused...
 
I'm from Texas so I grew up as a fan of the cowboys, but when the Titans moved to Tennessee I started following them and became a fan of guys like Eddie and Steve. As soon as it looked like McNair was going to leave the team I started looking at gotitans.com for news and joined the forum. Drafting Young was just icing on the cake because I go to Texas Tech and he's been kicking our tails for a couple of years now, so now he won't be beating my college, and I can route for him in the pros.
 
I grew up an Oiler fan when Earl became an Oiler back in 78. As a 10 year old I could think of nothing but football and my hero Earl Campbell. I was a diehard Oiler fan for many years, throught the Ed Biles years, Huge Campbell and Warren Moon, I watched choke after choke after choke. And then the Oilers left to Tennessee and I was heart broken. To be honest to this day I have not watched an NFL game since the Oilers left. Not even super bowls

The only reason I am coming back to the NFL is Vince Young. I decided that if I were to ever watch the NFL again it would only be as a fan of Young and the team he went to.

So fast forward to now, I have decided to become a Titans fan for the same reason I became a fan of the Houston Oilers so many years ago.
 
I think the membership growth is more than Vince Young. Young is the biggest factor of course. The Titans made some good moves in free agency and had a very good draft - they are on their way back. This site is great both for the information about the team and to trade views with other fans. I registered before but wasn't active.

I have been a fan of the Titans/Oilers since the early 1990s. I live about 10 miles outside of DC and about 40 miles from Baltimore- the news media in this area barely admits that teams besides the Redskins exist.
 
These are just the kind of replies I was hoping for.
I hope to hear more testimonials over the weekend.

Welcome all new members and all new Titan fans.
This forum is special. Titan Jeff really pours his soul into it to make it the best out there. It gets better all the time. Seems there are more and more features that appear over time... that stuff does not happen on it's own.

for TJ...:applause:
 
I am not a convert, just a brand new fan. As a poster on my home site hornfans.com says. "Vince is the revolution." You are starting to see some of the stuff that endears Vince to so many. (Giving his jersey to a sick child in Houston, and honored to do so. Already talking team first, wanting to meet his "new family"....ect.) Besides being straight up money on the football field, Vincent is more importantly an outstanding indiviual and man. He has been and is everything that is right with organized sports. Charles Barkley once said..."I am not a role model.". Vince is the opposite of that.


Not wanting to do anything half-assed. I am also diving headlong into Titans fandom. I want to get to know the team, and players. It's history. I look forward to very good times ahead and I hope you are all patient with me as I learn.
 
I grew up a Oiler fan since the days of training camp in San Marcos, TX. When the Oilers left Houston I vowed to become a Houston team when they got a new one, but since I was a fan of the Oilers I still followed the Titans because they had ex Oiler players. Once Houston got a team I thought it was time to have a favorite team again. By this time I had moved to DC & I had no tiess to Houston or the Texans. After trying to watch the Texans terrible play for a couple of years & moving to Nashville I have decided due to location that I should be a Titans fan. It's easy to like the team in the city where you live; thank God in this case it's a team that I used to love. I am a longhorn fan & getting Vince Young didn't hurt.
 
well everyone that is new here welcome, i am also a longhorn fan but i have been a titan fan since they moved here and were still called the oilers, they are easily my favorite football team, and i am very glad we got the best player from my favorite college team who is aruabely the biggest playmaker in college football
