That would prove what exactly? Despite the fact I can rattle off plenty you're just going to turn around and say we googled.

You can,, but you're a real rangers fan

Also my question was rhetorical

My point being that these new fans have no idea about any rangers players before 2010 besides Nolan Ryan

Can rangers fans even name any players before 2010 besides Nolan Ryan?

Such a dumbass question. I grew up three miles from old Arlington stadium and played in the Jim Sundberg all star game.

Oh my god!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


There are more cities in Texas than Houston and Dallas!!!!!!!!

OBVIOUSLY WE ARE NOT CALLING DFW PEOPLE BANDWAGONERs!!!!!! It's the people in other cities that didn't follow the rangers until 2010

And again, the same would hold true for Astros fans outside Houston if that's your belief so what the hell is your point?

I guess I have no point. You can only be a "true" fan of a team if you live in the same area code as their stadium

Guess I'm not a true fan then. Good lord.

Yeah me either. I have a 512 area code

Everyone is salty.

Cant wait for the first series

I still like our idea of AccidentProne hooking this thread up with a suite so we can all watch an Astros Rangers game. We can wear the "Hello, my name is (Texags username)" stickers.

---

Everybody can continue to post all of these ******y comments during the game and we will see what happens in the suite.

---

It'll awkward to actually have all these Arlington fans call me daddy.

Well we know who will be eating all the popcorn...

A suite would be fun!

I wouldn't really expect there to be a bunch of hardcore Rangers fans in Austin and San Antonio. My expectation would be that whichever team is winning at the time would see a lot of people hopping on the bandwagon. It's pretty dumb to base your thoughts on Rangers fans on people in Austin. It's 3 hours away from the Rangers and only 2 hours away from the Astros. Honestly, the Astros should be dominating that market rather than being overran with bandwagon Rangers fans as you claim.

Obviously the die hard fans for each team get more sparse as you move further away from the teams location. You will find plenty of Rangers fans in towns outside of the metroplex in North Texas and out West though. Places Astro fans want to pretend don't exist.

I realize that Astros fans will say that this just shows how big the bandwagon is and these are not "true fans", but here is a map from the New York Times comparing the fan bases. Go ahead and say it, fake news.

Oops

Extra inning game in Houston and the stadium is empty. What happened to all the true fans down there?

Will the gayangers win a game this year?

This made me laugh a lot more than it should have.

Facebook likes? Really?

More scientific than the claims "Snoop Lion" has been making.

You guys may have started the 2017 season by getting swept at home in disastrous fashion, but yay for Facebook likes! Right?!

It's a Wed night in April. Did you see the crowd earlier in the game?

By the way I need a loan do you know a good Lindor??

Oh, so a game was played by the Astros at home and the "true fans" didn't even bother to show up at all. Interesting showing from such a renowned baseball town.

You're trying too hard dude, is getting a bit pathetic.
