Go Jim Zorn!

[VatorMan]

What's your fascination with seeing Snyder celebrate after a big win, anyway?

After whipping the Redskins for the last 8 years-I actually didn't hate them. Watching that little munchin Snyder do his happy dance shuffle in the locker room my blood began to boil.


I now officially call this a rivalry now. I hate the MutherFockin skins.Yep, I said it.

BTW-the number of brand new car skin flags doubled again at work today. At least you guys are on line. These skin mofos at work are killing me.

Yeah, looks like it's finally time for people to hop on the bandwagon. Buncha fairweather fans!

 

[Skins_Brew]

Yea I have seen a ton of em. I fly my skins car flag every season, all season. I even got a magnet schedule that I slapped on to my car and after every game I go out and put a 'W' or a 'L.' I hope I dont get carpal tunel syndrome from writing all those W's though.

 

[AnonyBrew]

I hopped on the Skins bandwaggon in 1982 and have never left. I have been quiet some years though....not this year.

GO REDSKINS!!!

 

[Skins_Brew]

Well, this is the year to come out of your shell brother. People are saying they have not felt this confident in the skins since Joe Gibbs' championship reign. I was around, but pretty young. All I can remember was the super bowl party my dad had for the 91 team.

 

[98EXL]

I love this team more than I have in years!

 

[Skins_Brew]

I will have to agree with you. I have always loved them but this year has been awesome. I had a few errands to run last Sunday before the game and I was wearing my Cooley jersey. I saw so many people sporting their redskins stuff and everyone is so much more nicer when they do. I hit a safeway and bed bath and beyond and had conversations with about 2 people at each place, and then another conversation with some guy who was walking to his car while I was waiting in my car for SWMBO to come out of CVS. This team truly unites this area. I was living in VA Beach for the last 6 years and its so fricking great to be home in Redskins country.

98EXL, you ever see the special they played last year on Comcast Sports net (Or maybe MASN). It was like a 2 hour special about the 75 years of Redskins history. Great special, I wish I would find it online somewhere. Also, the book "Hail Victory" is pretty good as well. I highly recommend it.

Lets do HIP HIP!!!

ARE is a clown. I love it!

 

[HighPlainsDrifter]

I came home today, checked the mail, and my wait is over!

I just sent the ticket office a deposit on tickets for next year. I've been on the waiting list for nearly ten years. There is some small print that says that tickets are only available on a first come first serve basis, so keep your fingers crossed for me. I should get my invoice in May.

BTW, I used the $$ I won in the HBT survival pool to help foot the deposit.

 

[Evan!]

Yeah, I got an offer this year too, but it was like $750 each for them tickets where you need a telescope and a oxygen mask. Eff that. I'll just get 'em from stubhub when I really wanna go. But hey, good for you, I hope you enjoy it...

 

[HighPlainsDrifter]

I actually like sitting in the upper deck. Thats where the true fans are, and you can really see the plays develop. I sat in the last row of the stadium a few years back and didn't mind at all. If I could pick a seat, it would be front row,, second or third level between the 30's, and on the aisle (I'm 6'4" and can use the extra leg room). When I sit in the lower bowl, I have a hard time seeing what yard line the ball is on (unless it's right in front of me).

 

[Skins_Brew]

You can get them from scalpers for a decent price too, especially as game time gets close and they start getting desperate.

I was at the Skins-Giants game on Xmas eve in 2005. My friend and I had had some nose bleed 400 seats. It was like 10 minutes until kick off and we were just getting through the gate. We started up the ramp when we heard someone saying, "No, we dont need any tickets." My friends goes over to the guy offering them and asks if he is giving away some tix. He says he is because he had to leave but he was trying to give them to a father and son. My friend is like 11 years my senior and look its and he tells the guys "This is my son right here, he just got back from Iraq." The guy gives us the tix. They were in row 17 located diagonally from the end zone. Talk about being close! I could see Moss' facial expressions when he scored a TD. We knew this guy who brought his kid who had 50 yard line row 13 seats and he had to leave to go to church at half time, so he gave us his stubs and we sat there for the second half. Talk about amazing. Not to mention the skins whopped the giants 35-20. I must have spent like $60 on beer because I figured these seats don't fall into your lap everyday. I probably should have gotten my ass kicked from the horrible things I was saying to Giants fans when they started filing out at the 3 minute mark and the things I said to them in the parking lot, but whatever, it was a BLAST!!!

Sorry for rambling on in this thread, I just love the skins and love talking about the great redskins related experiences I have had.

 

[98EXL]

wow, I got on the list 5 or 6 seasons ago

 

[98EXL]

Jason Taylor coming back?

 

[Skins_Brew]

I heard he was just practicing yesterday, so was shawn springs.

 

[98EXL]

Deon called Jason Taylor and Shawn Springs, Shawn Taylor the other day

 

[Eastside Brewer]

Same ol' Skins fans.... hope a mediocre 8-8 season won't cause Redskin Nation to implode like our current economy! It's early, let's talk in December when you all will be calling for a Zorn lynching!

Eastside

blah blah blah. They look solid. I've seen my fair share of implosions in the second half of the season with this damn team...believe me. But all the ones that I can remember, they were barely limping to wins in the first half, just getting lucky here and there, but they games could've gone either way. This time, they're solidly beating quality opponents. So I see where you're coming from based on past experience, but I don't see the same team this year. I just don't.

 

[blacklab]

If the line keeps giving Campbell some time to throw, they'll be good. He seems to get pretty squirrelly under pressure. He also seems to be making better decisions this year.

Whatever happened to that kid from Tulane?

 

[Eastside Brewer]

It's just good to be talking football, and 4-1 is nothing to sneeze at. I do believe that the NFC East is the best division in football (except the Eagles!), and I believe the SuperBowl winner will come from this division!

Peace

 

[Skins_Brew]

Nothing to sneeze at? I will have to disagree with you on that one. 4-1 is pretty damn good. Its not like we have squeezed by on each of these wins (well, yes, we have, its been a small margin of victory) but there is a certain 'flow' that this team has this year. I mean, we had 16 unanswered points with philly. We will be much better then 8-8. I am not saying superbowl, but I can see something like 10-6.

 

[VatorMan]

We just need someone to beat the freekin Giants a few times.

 

[98EXL]

well no one will beat the giants a few times this year, except the NFCE as a whole....but yeah, they need to face a real team for once this season

 

[ChshreCat]

I'm far, far, far from being a 'Skins fan. I loved watching the last few times Seattle bumped them out of the playoffs. But, being a longtime Seahawks fan, I gotta root just a little for Jim Zorn. Just not against the Seahawks.

You may as just root for the skins over the seahawks....you guys are going to blow this year, oh wait, already are

 

[ChshreCat]

Remind me to invite you over next time I want someone to pee in my cheerios. Bastid.

We shall see what happens next month, shall we?
