We have positioned this inquiry before however it is constantly an excellent one to ask periodically as we are always adding new website participants and also some of us are simply old as well as forget what we had for morning meal so right here's the concern that I asked- "What brought you into the Miami Dolphins family of fans?" Below are some of your responses and ideas on the concern of the day-budohly is another fan from Ohio with a fascinating story of what brought his family members right into the fold!I invested my really early years in Warren Ohio. Our house was nearby from Warren G Harding High Institution where Paul Warfield played. He functioned for my dad at his shop during senior high school. Met him when I was 5. Saw him play in high school, and saw him at OSU and Cleveland various times. When he mosted likely to Miami we jumped with him. Been a fan ever given that. I've seen the excellent years being a Dolphin fan. My 27-year-old son hopes he obtains to see some excellent points quickly. My kid as well as I participate in a couple of video games a year as well as await success to return!daytonadofan picked from what was there to pick from. Likewise, no person desires to read about your "fin". The year, 1969. The young boy, 11 years old looking for a group to follow. The team, the just one in Florida at the time. It's like it was suggested to be! Then the "best period" took place and I was hooked for life! When they bury me, my "Fin" will be up!FlyerFinFan is a long-time follower from Winnipeg that picked Miami over Minneapolis. Who would not make that choice?Some great tales here wonderful post. I expanded up in Winnipeg and like my Bombers still yet the NFL came to be king. NFC North was chilly and also uninteresting. Being a smart youngster why not choose a nice cozy place for your team? Minneapolis or Miami? No choice is needed! I additionally suched as the team's colors and also logo design still choose the retro. I remember coloring as a child as well as would use peacock blue and orange. Think it or otherwise, in Canada, we would certainly see a great deal of Miami video games much more in the 80's with Marino yet they were constantly on the Canadian feeds. My Cuz is a follower also. I'm a wild fan Seeing my initial video game in Detroit Fins killed them with Zach I had the ability to decrease to the very first row as well as cheer the team on after Lions fans left. Mosting likely to the Giants video game will certainly be the first one in Miami been a long period of time coming. Go Fins!!!!!!!!!!!!! dolphinfan1323 was brought right into the fold like a great deal of followers, attracted by the success of Dan Marino!Well, the 1st football video game I saw was the Super Dish Expenses vs Cowboys I didn't desire the Cowboys to win so I adhered to the Costs the next period we had 3 channels at that time with football NBC and also FOX, and also then Monday evening got on abc I'm from Wisconsin yet simply couldn't stand the Packers. Miami and also Buffalo video games were on television and also Miami always seemed to have a couple of Monday evening games didn't take long to view Dan Marino playing to leap off the Buffalo train give thanks to God for that one to think I was practically an Expenses follower I have Dan Marino to thank for saving me from that can't also visualize being a bills fan sdphinsfan does not bear in mind anything. I honestly do not understand why. Asked myself many times as well as still got nothing. but it's been in this way since Christmas Day, 1971. And also it's not around to change.heatforlife moved from NY to S. FL et cetera is history!Moved from NY in 1966 as well as saw them from a newborn till currently. Considered Shula as a papa figure.

I'm a The golden state native as well as came to be a fan at 9 years of ages in 1972. I have not missed viewing a Dolphins game given that 1994. I have yet to check out Miami Dolphins Store, yet have actually attended their games several times in California and also Arizona. Phins Up!Cooter _ the_Genteel ended up being a fan because of previous RB Mark Higgs being from his home town in Kentucky. When I was a little child maturing in Kentucky in the early '90s, the Dolphins' current RB was from my home town and attended my secondary school. His name was Mark Higgs (the Dolphins leading rush from 91-93). After satisfying him I came to be a prompt fan of the Dolphins as well as have actually been since, for better or even worse. I still have that # 21 Higgs jersey. In the last 33 years, there have actually been great times as well as there have been bad times. Yet one thing is for sure - I'm fed up with hanging my hat on a '72 period that I wasn't to life for. Allow's obtain Johnathon Taylor as well as be a legitimate contender.homphgomph obtained below with some aid from his sibling! I grew up/still live around Chicago, when I was young we 'd most likely to a family members close friend's residence that had Tecmo Bowl, me and also my sister would play it as well as she would certainly always pick Miami as a result of the correlation to the Dolphins due to the fact that she liked the pet (that video game didn't really have the NFL permit, had the gamers though) and due to the fact that of Dan Marino. After that through some osmosis of her being my large sibling I started to choose them every time I played, learnt more about the players by doing this, after that I began viewing them when they got on which's essentially it. Would certainly always enjoy NFL Primetime with my Father and get delighted to see how the Dolphins did due to the fact that they generally weren't on up below beyond Monday night or if I obtained lucky they were the other game on when the Bears weren't on.herbert pollack got right here like I did, by means of a little help from a grandparent.My Grandparents relocated to Miami in 1977 (I was 7) and also they kept sending me Dolphin things, and also after that Dan appeared. I still have actually the packed pet dolphin wearing a jacket as well as helmet. It rests on my kid's shelfWaitT suched as Shula's Style which secured the deal!In 1970, I saw a television meeting with Train Don Shula in which he was asked what he did to get his gamers to do things they normally really did not do extremely well. He responded something like this: "I do not ask my gamers to do what they can't do. Instead, I inquire to do what they can do and also to do it extremely, extremely well." I came to be an instantaneous fan.krammm picked from what there was to pick from.Born in Naples Florida and also aint never ever been no whear. Only video game in town.Lone _ Star88 is one more person that was absorbed by the success of Marino!Living in the panhandle, it was slim pickings when it involved NFL teams. TB sucked and had the ugliest uniforms in the organization. Atlanta was absolutely nothing to boast around. And afterwards someday this individual obtained prepared, and also that was all she wrote.Photo by Christian Petersen/Getty Images Alpha6 was as soon as 11 years old!I matured in Miami. In '69 I was 11 taking place 12. At any time my buddies chatted football it was the Dolphins or the Cowboys. I was (am) a Dolphins fan. They mosted likely to the Super Bowl '71, '72, '73. In '72 (the Perfect Season) that night was jangle. In midtown Miami, especially around the Orange Dish. Every (and I mean every!) vehicle was honking their horns as well as swing per other. Unique. I existed. Those years cemented my fandom. Yarganaught was transformed from the wicked Dallas Cowboys by means of a bar mitzvah!IDK when I came to be a Fins follower, to be sincere. I am a 4th generation Floridian who expanded up in South FL, yet I was a Dallas Cowboys follower as a kid. That began when I saw an episode of BJ and the Bear (I think that's the program) and one program had a person attempting to abduct the Dallas Cheerleaders. I knew at an extremely young age that I suched as girls. I can recall supporting for gamers like Tony Dorsett, as well as Randy White, as well as I also met Ed "Too Tall" Jones one evening at Wilt Chamberland's sporting activities bar (in the 90s). I think the initial time I remember cheering for Miami to win was an AFC Championship game when Marino was a novice. I went to my buddy's bar mitzvah and all of us were standing in the guys's shower room at some country club watching the game. I would certainly need to claim that started it.Dolfanjoe is still older than me as well as that's truly all that matters in this tale of his!Moved to Palm Bay Fl. in 1968. 10 years old, Months younger than that old person daytonadolfan!
