Hey guys
The Pats have a lot of fans who don't, or have never lived, in the NE region. I'm one of them. I grew up in Saskatchewan, Canada then moved to Iowa as a teenager where I went to high school and college, and I now live in South Carolina. I'm a huge Patriots fan.
My story begins at a sporting goods store, I spotted a New England Patriots t-shirt, this was about 1995. I just thought the name and colors were so cool, it's like it called out to me. This was going to be my favorite team.
I started to watch Drew Bledsoe, Curtis Martin, Ben Coates and co. and I owned NFL Quarterback Club '96 for the PC, so I tried to be the Pats whenever I could. But I became a huge fan during the 2001 season. I saw the beginnings of the run with Tom Brady at the helm and I was just hooked for life. I've never been to Massachusetts or any of the New England states, nor am I related to anyone from there, but I feel as part of this team as the fans who've grown up right next door to them. I'd love to go to a game someday and watch and cheer the greatest NFL team in the world with the rest of my fellow Pats fans!
So tell me, if you're a Pats fan not from NE, what's your story? How did you become a fan?
