It was Oct. of 1963 for me. One month shy of my 8th birthday. Rams v 49ers. This was a rare win for the good guys. I became a Rams fan that day. Not because of the win, but because of the uniforms. That helmet had me hooked but good!

This was a pretty hilarious shot from Christmas 1974. I was nine. The sad thing was: I am the one in the DOLPHINS jammies. My little niner-loving front-runner brother is wearing the Rams stuff.- Early Blue and Yellow era. (Mom got the teams wrong on her shopping trip.:mad: Maybe that explains the shocked look on our face) Funny thing is, the little niner-lover was a Redskins fan back then- (Joe Montana was still in high school.)

Oh well. My Ram love was 3-4 years old by then. I had a John Hadl poster on my wall around 1971-72. I don't clearly remember the blue and whites. But I remember Jack Snow and Harold Jackson, Despite my ROD name, I don't remember watching Roman Gabriel- just my dad talking about him. We were in the early years of Knox here. En-route to our STILL STANDING NFL RECORD 7 straight division titles. 1973-1979. (y)

*Hey @Tron check out that TV buddy. State of the art! You were born too late. Suck it pal! :banana:

Pretty amazing all the oldtimers there are on here! Lots of guys who became fans right within a year or 2 of me, (which makes me feel NOT as old...):D

Absolutely.. I don't recall if he had thrown any other td's. It was a shock. I remember all the talk about Bleier and Franco Harris. But the best running back on the field that day was Wendell Tyler, and he was throwing up all day. I was so happy to see him run through the steel curtain.

True....
But, you know, everything is a trade off.
Sort of makes me laugh when people here would get all up in arms and protest the Yucca Mountain nuclear waste storage facility. Their logo was "Nevada is not a wasteland".....um, yeah, it sort of is.

Umm...
No, it sorta' isn't.

It was around 72 or 73 for me. I was 6yrs old.

My family moved to Pearl City, HI back then (we are Floridians though)... so I became the 2nd Haole kid going to school there at the time. We were a rare sight in those parts. Back in those days cartoons were only shown on TV on Saturday mornings... kids really looked forward to that Hahahaha. But I always enjoyed Sunday mornings more because we always got the Ram games televised. The time difference made the games come on in the mornings over there... Sunday mornings and the Rams always beat the hell out of cartoons for me. I've been addicted ever since.

I think I am in the 1973-1980 category. I have just always been a Ram (born in 67). Dad says I came out of the womb asking for Rams gear.
My cousin was the LT for the Steelers during the entire 70s (Kolb #55), so that side of the family has Steeler disease. The other side are all Cowboys fans. It was difficult being a Rams fan at family reunions.

I'm sure this has been posted in some form here, but I didn't see it. (Yeah..I suck with search functions) I'm curious what the age demographic on this fine site is? For Me, I became a part of the Rams Family in 1969 at the tender age of 6. Really got into them and football rabidly around 71. Suffered with many of you through the ground chuck years all the way to '94, never winning a championship. We were finally rewarded with the GSOT in '99, where I saw one of my life's dreams come true. Attending the Super Bowl in Atlanta was one of the top 3 experiences of my life.

One of the other top 5 experiences came with the January announcement that our Rams were returning to LA. While I feel extreme empathy with my St. Louis brethren, this was something I NEVER thought I would see in my lifetime and I am beyond ecstatic.

When did you become part of the herd?

I became a Ram fan the year they drafted Bob Waterfield. I lived in downtown San Francisco and still followed the Ram. Did not have a bunch of friends, but I made a lot of money betting against the 49'er. I listened to the Rams play Cleveland on radio from West Virginia. I followed them from North Carolina. while in the service.
