Are You A Titans Die-Hard Who Lives Out Of Market? Here's Your Chance To Shine!

DirectTV is holding a contest to discover the Ultimate Displaced Fan. They're searching for loyal and passionate fans who are cursed to live outside of their team's locale, and just can't take it anymore!  

What's at stake?  The winner get tickets to the Super Bowl, the chance to do a media tour with their favorite player from their team and they'll get to play in a Beach Bowl game with celebrities and NFL personalities.  Now, normally I'm not one to shill for a corporate entity, especially one that isn't giving me a dime, but I thought this was a pretty cool contest since we have so many loyal and passionate Titans fans here at MCM who go the extra mile it takes to be an out-of-market fan.

So if yo think you fit the bill head on over and enter for a chance to win, and if you have a good story about being a displaced fan, be sure to share it with us in the comments!

might have to look at this....

I live north of Indianapolis. So not only do I not get the games, I’m surrounded by fans of team from the same division. Heck, even my wife and in-laws are all Colts fans, so I can never get away from it.

That being said, I probably won’t win because I am too cheap to pay for Direct TV and their Sunday Ticket programming. We’ll see though….

Does being deployed to iraq and having to watch the game on yahoo gametracker thing qualify?

It most definitely should

Thank you for your service. Stay safe.

Ball, oskie, cover, block, cut and slice, pursue and gang tackle... for this is the WINNING EDGE.

Channel 5 sucks

They’ve been making news up for years.

What about us placed fans?

We don’t get to win tickets to the Super Bowl?

I mean, it’s not like I can afford to buy those things…

in hell

I’m a die-hard Titans fan, going back to the Oilers. Now I’m living in Baltimore, in the shadow of the Ravens stadium. The city even hung a giant Ravens flag on the street where I have to see it through my living room window. I HATE me some Ravens!

Displaced

I’ve been a displaced Titans Fan from the beginning of their era.

I’ve gone from So-Cal to NJ/NY area and I’ve met a total of 3 other fans in those areas in the past 10+ years. Being a Titans fan on either coast is a very lonely gig. I cannot find any Titans gear, games are almost never on (unless its national or they play the regional team).

Sunday I will be going to the Titans/Jets game..and I’m going completely decked out in blue. After the game I should have a nice story for this contest :)

Titans diehard stuck in Kansas City

I won tickets to the channel 2 local affiliate luxury box back in the super bowl year. The box was right next to Bud Adams and there was a partial glass partition between them so we could just check out what Bud and his crew were up to anytime we wanted. The game was awesome. It was the regular season Rams game the year we faced them in the super bowl. Rams missed like a 40 yard field goal in the last second and the Titans won by two I think. One of the greatest sports experiences of my life and one I probably will never have a chance to repeat. I am also too cheap……..or maybe just too broke to pay for NFL Sunday Ticket but that would be a great prize. I think I would pick either Cortland Finnigan or Kyle Vanden Bosch to go on the media tour. David Stewart might be a lot of fun too though. Well anyway……….GO TITANS! Beat the Jets!

I entered

I am from Columbia (the town in Maury Co. not the country,) but am in the military and since the Titans moved to TN I have a year in Germany, 6 years in Korea, 1 year in Iraq, 2 years in Barstow CA, 2 years in Colorado Springs CO. and I am now in El Paso Texas. This year with Direct TV Sunday Ticket will be the first year I get to see the games every week. Pretty excited about that.

Maybe

MCM should run their own Displaced Fan contest with better rules. Jimmy & August could pool their fabulous wealth to buy the SB ticket and other perks for the winner. :-)
