Can't help it if i recognize GREATNESS in its purest form. And i won't be switching, EVER! Trust me, this was a hard choice and i still have feelings for my childhood sweetheart, just chose to marry up, so to speak and could careless whether my fanhood comes into question (re: ESPN commercial)  .
Raider Ronnie, it's never too late.................
YOU too can recognize dominance and supremecy and
i know a good tattoo artist should you decide to join Patriot Nation.  |
I am surprised by your latest post, The Dad, as you are usually the voice of reason.
Pile on, if you must. Please read the above. More importantly,
Perhaps why i switched is somehow also related to my SOONERS,
because in Norman and across the State of Oklahoma we are used to National Championship Caliber College Football. In fact, we still hold the two longest undefeated streaks in NCAA DivI History under Coaches Bud Wilkinson and Chuck Fairbanks.
That being said, i do empathize with your above post Kevin, having been there for three Orange Bowl debacles and the single greatest CHOKE job in Collegiate History at the hands of Boise State two years ago. That was Buckner squared, from my perspective. ironic that both crushing defeats happened in AZ, one year apart from each other and both in the football arena
.
Albeit a short ride, the 2003 "bullets in my tank" fiasco by the SOX manager 'whose name will not be mentioned' felt like a swift kick to me jumblies and resonates still every time that the walk to and from the mound gets replayed in my mind. that one hurts very badly to this day, and is at least a taste of what you "lifers" know far better than i ever will.
Doesn't make me any less of a FAN, just makes me a NEWER one.
Also ironic that they almost go undefeated, AFTER i join Patriots Nation.
"......the things that make you go, hummmm?"
just joshing, hell i predicted them to go 38-0!! but that's just me, i'm crazy like that.
anybody else okay with 37-1?
