Ms. Christie is a married type person, so she understands the Rule of the Second "Us" Team.

Once your team goes out, if you are a married type person, you are automatically qualified to cabbage on to your spouse's team as your Second "Us" Team, for the purposes of saying "We this" or "We that" or "Such and such happened to us" until that team goes out, which, upon that happening, you don't have an "Us" Team until next year when we start over.
When the Stillers or Pirates or Pens go out, and we're still in, SteelersFan is a Broncos, Rockies, or Avalanche fan by virtue of the Second "Us" Team rule.
(Later in the thread with BiT's encouragement, I re-named the rule from SUT to SUITT.)
Clem has expanded the rule even further! When you're engaged, you may apply the rule at any time during the season; if doesn't have to be playoffs. Welcome to Stiller Nation, Clem!

Now Fanny's going to get you for this whole "we" business, and ask when you, or StillersFan, or clem, or the GFSH ever played for any of these respective teams....

I feel like I said that I would root for them because when GFSH is happy, it's good for me. I still don't think I'd use the term "we" even in that instance and certainly not whilst my team is still in the running...SportsFan68 wrote:He can be taught!
