Remember,

We're ready, Richard!!! Even got to take in a Falcon's practice when they were here, in Greenville, at Furman University, for their preseason activities.

I voted that they are going to the Super Bowl...wishful thinking, I'm sure, but I WISH they would!!!! :)

Logan,

you have to dream don't ya????

hopefully you can dust off the 'dirty bird' for some post season fun this year!!

there is a new rule in the league...

The Franchise crowned as the World Champions are ineligible to repeat the following year.

;)

I voted that they are going to the Super Bowl, but, being that they have been in the league since1976 and the best they have done is the championship game against the Raiders, I'm not holding out a lot of hope. Oh, btw...my team.....the Seahawks.

How many teams are there?

My football team here wears navy blue and white, and they lose a lot. Is there a similar Superbowl team so I can follow them? ;)

That sounds like the Dallas Convicts.....ooops....I mean Dallas Cowboys!

MM,
take your time and choose wisely!
a one out of 32 chance is the best odds we can give you!

By the time the Super Bowl in January comes around you should be able to host your own party and regale your friends with your knowledge about the game!

some Super Bowl Trivia for you!

Last year the Tampa Bay (florida) Bucaneers won the title. They beat the Oakland (california) Raiders...

the Bucs coach, Jon Gruden coached the Raiders the year before, left for Tampa Bay, took his new team to the championship game, leaving the Raider's owner looking kinda dumb!!

There are Mammals, Fish, Characters, Birds and even the Cleveland Browns to choose from.....altho I still am trying to figure out what a 'brown' actually is!!!


:eek:

EW.. I just went to the NFL website... Jets and Redskins- not my pick! :o

Nah you guys got it all wrong, the Stampeders are gonna win it all. Oh wait that's a CFL team, and they're in last place. Never mind.

If I really have to choose though, I'd have to go with the 49'ers or the Cheifs because they have ex Stamps on them.

It's good we have 2 T.V.'s.
I become a football widow every year.
First I loose him to college football than professional. :rolleyes:

Do you guys scream at the T.V. set too? :D

My friend's brother either still does or used to kick for the Roughriders.

of course!

how else are the players gonna hear you when they go on the road?:rolleyes: every football fan knows that!


Mugs,
are you mad at me?????:p
Oh, the seahawk games were some of the rowdiest on the planet....
one year i sat a few rows above some Marines, one kept waving a Seattle can cooler in another guy's face......when the fight started they rolled about 7 rows down.....the Seattle fan won the fight;)

Now THERE'S a dubious honor!! lol Nah...not mad at you! Why?? It's just a game! hehehe Maybe one of these days we'll actually win one of them. I'm glad that we are a thorn in your side though....there is some satisfaction in that. :p :p

They all look like boofheads, don't they! (including Britney ...) :)

I might go for the Seahawk chappies. Blue and white, and my partner is a Seahawk helicopter mechanic so it's a good omen. But the most important criterion: are they losers???

What's a depth chart? Do they dig underground when the ball's up the other end of the ground or something??? :eek:

YEAH!!! Another Seahawks fan!! A depth chart is how many players they have that can play certain positions and of course part of that is how good they all are! lol

since mugsy won't share the website;)

MM you'll find that American football fans are some of the craziest, loudest and most animated
people on the planet....i have been in a stadium with 100,000 people and you absolutely cannot help but get carried away with the atmosphere!!!

Welcome to the sport!!! have fun!!!!

britney is a boofhead!!!!!


is you seahawk pilot friend land or ship based??

Yay! Some of the games are televised here, so I'll have to bring on the beers and chips and take over the remote control ;)

So the depth chart is how boofy-headed they AREN'T? OK, got it :)

Richard, Shane is land-based these days. Not enough helicopters, too many trained technicians to overservice them. The base is near Sydney but he left the squadron so we could move back to Melbourne, so he's desk-based in a different job where there are no helicopters ... or boats ... or submarines ... bit dull, really!

Just be ready to be depressed when playoffs come around!:rolleyes: ;) :p

I'm just thrilled to have a team to root for again,
even if they don't have a prayer of going to the
Superbowl. And I love our logo too. :) Go Texans!

Par...

My mom blows this fog horn we keep on our front porch when the Bucs get a touchdown.

I'm sure our neighbors are sick of us! :rolleyes: :p :D

I went with the "tight pants" option.. NIIICE :)

I love college football too. People in this state and this part of the country are diehard college football fans. It's just too bad that we always have such pitiful teams these days!! We were so excited about the season opener last Saturday. Clemson opened at home against the University of Georgia. I even heard some sports commentators saying Clemson would win. WRONG!!! :o It was a miserable showing and we gave up at halftime and quit watching and went ate lunch instead! LOL!!!

I'm not a fair weather fan, and my hope is that one day Clemson will have a good team again, like they did when I was in college. It's been a long time sine 1981 when we won the National Championship. At least I was there to see it!!!! :D

GO GREEN-BAY!

Well, I don't have a home-town team to root for, and its an unwritten rule that those of us in Portland NEVER like anything that comes out of Seattle:p , so there goes the Seahawks. I leave the Vikings to my Mom who is from Minnesota, so I'll go with the Cheese-heads.:D


I like the fact that they are owned by the fans and the one year when they made the playoffs, a bunch of townspeople showed up to shovel snow out of the stadium. (They had to actually hire people for liability reasons, but I love that kind of home-town spirit). I also like the idea of outdoor stadiums - football is meant to be played in the cold and the rain and the mud and the snow.

oh oh oh!!
thanks catland!!!


Miss Meow,

wait until NOV-DEC when the weather gets real crappy!!! THAT'S the best time to watch football!!!

RAIN MUD AND SNOW!!!

oh, and should you have the chance to see an Oakland Raider game make sure you look at they way the fans dress up!!!!
:eek:

there is a story about a gent who would go to all
16 games during the season....he'd fly all across the country to follow the team.......

until they cops finally caught up with him....

he financed his trips by robbing banks!!!!


lololol!!


Great game last night and what do Britney and Snoop dog have to do with football???

Yes, it was a good game. Why does the NFL waste its time on losers like Britney and Snoop? I stopped watching when they were on!

Dad is from Kansas City (Cheifs) and Mom is from St. Louis (Rams) so I'm not allowed to have a choice in football teams. So I try to ignore football and take cover when "our" two teams play each other. ;) :p

I'm sorry Richard, I can't vote in your poll :(

My team is not going to the SB this year. As much as I love the Bengals, I just can't live that far in the fantasy world...maybe in a few years ;)

My husband enjoys watching football, but it doesn't keep him home in Sundays...hionestly, I am more likely to stay home froa game then him :)


I'm much more interested in the game then the attire...there are a few guys that good good, but come one, someo f those linemen...yikes!!!

No question, I know that the SB is :)

I guess the closest answer would be about Monday...though I would have to say I'm late the next day, cause I stayed up too late atching the game :)


Football season does make things interesting arounf here...Ralph is an Ohio State fan, I'm for Michigan. Ralph like the Browns and well....

Go Bengals!!!!


At least we booth root for the Bearcats (U of Cincinnati) ...too bad they aren't sucah footabll school. Oh well!

Andie,

Tell your dad that my dad, when he was in 8th grade in Gary, IN and Hank Stram was in 4th grade, my dad and his friend put together 2 playground football teams and Dad and his friend coached. Dad told his buddy that he could have ANYBODY for his team as long as Dad could have Hank on his team. Friend thought that was an excellent idea, so let Dad have Hank and Dad won every game! lol.

Amy,

Well, Mike likes Green Bay and the Bears and I like the Bears and the Seahawks, so there is some antimosity here too. He also doesn't like the Fightin' Irish and I'm a diehard fan....makes for interesting Saturday and Sunday afternoons!

Your Irish pulled it out today, Mugsy...close call though ;)

And how 'bout those Falcons (Bowling Green) over Purdue!!! Gotta love it when the little school knocks off the Big 10!!!

Okay. You're gonna hate me but....

football? yuck.

There I said it. Football ruins an otherwise good primetime line up.

(In case you are wondering, I was raised by a rabid cowboys fan, during the Roger Staubach/Tom Landry era.... I just think it's dreadfully dull!).

hate me? :cool:

Don't hate you, but how does football ruin the primetime line up? There are only two primetame games, Sunday night and Monday.

okay, okay, so maybe it doesn't "ruin" primetime. :) But I still think it's as dull as a meeting with my CPA. :D

and eveyone is allowed their opinion ( even if it is wrong) :D

:eek: :D

Yes, my Irish did pull it out, but, they sure didn't deserve to win. Wow! Did they look bad or what?

See, now there is a difference of opinion. For me, Monday night and Sunday night (and an occasional Thursday night) are only worth watching during football season! :D ;)
