Sawsheezle is just a bandwagon fan

Sawsheezle has been keeping me up to date this year on the Arizona football team with info on when and what channel each game has been on. Well, the Arizona football team got blown out of the water tonight. He stopped watching the game before halftime but I decided to keep sending him updates. He thanked me and told me he appreciated the support. I was taken aback by this. Did he think I was only watching these games because he had asked me to? Did he think I wasn't actually a fan? For shame. I have been an Arizona fan for longer than he had. Here's my story...

Back in 1996-97, Mt Dew ran a contest during March Madness where underneath each cap was a team name (It may have been a Pepsi thing but I don't remember. I know my cap was from a Mt Dew bottle.). I can't remember when they started the contest. It must've been during the regular season because how could they print all the caps and get them out after the teams have been decided? Anyway, you kept the cap all the way through the tournament and depending on how far your team made it, you got a chance at certain prizes. Underneath my cap was the word ARIZONA. Now I was 11-12 so I did not know a lot about college basketball except for what my dad watched. I kept the cap even though I remember my dad saying that he didn't think they'd even make the tournament. Still, he helped me find out their schedule and we followed them through the tourny. They won their first game and I thought "Cool." Then they won their second, third, and even the fourth. They were in the final four! Holy crap! Now here's this team I've never even cared or heard about making it to the final four. They won the semifinals and were on to the championship game. Imagine my excitement when they won the championship game. I was pumped as all hell. We mailed my cap in and waited. Then one day I get a package in the mail. Damn, what could this be? I didn't win any of the big prizes but I did win an official NCAA 1997 march madness jersey. I wore that thing all the time. I even had a pen explode in the bottom corner and tried to get it out but it didn't work. Who cares, I still wore that fucker. Unfortunately I don't own it anymore but I've always followed Arizona ever since. I've also always loved their "A" logo. I will admit though, I didn't start paying attention to their football team until Sawsheezle started going there, so he did beat me there. Anyway, that's my story.
