NFL Fans (Page 2 of 6)

Good weekend for Football around here....  Been raining for three days straight!

Sorry Cam, as you predicted with the support of Jerome, Alabama TRASHED Duke 62 to 13.

We had two NCAA games within easy driving distance here yesterday.  Oregon State vs Portland State (cross-conference) which is almost within walking distance (but not).... Portland might just as well saved the fuel and not bothered, lost 69-0. U of Oregon is only 45 miles South, and beat Louisiana 35-28.  Traffic was a mess!  A friend went up to Portland yesterday and it took 6 hours round trip & it's only 85 miles each way!

My Seahawks are in Denver this afternoon, so we'll see.... only a couple hours to kickoff.

I used to support the Rams when they were still in LA, then "adopted" Kansas City, but support my Northern Neighbors these days.

Take Care;

Forget about Tuesday morning, that loss took til Sunday to get over.  What a disappointment. Good run defense was the only positive.  Today will be another test against Beli-cheat and the Pats. 

And my worst nightmare, the Dolphins are 2-0 already.  Waaahhhhh

Sad day in Seattle....  The Seahawks were humbled by Denver.  So much for a good start this year 1-1-0.  San Diego this coming weekend, and darn it! It's supposed to be sunny, so those Southern Californians don't have to play in the wet & cold.

Credit when credit is due. Kudos to the Jets. Patriots D made Sanchez look like an NFL QB. I'm not sure if he's coming around or if the Pats D is just that bad. We'll see. As for the Jets going to the Super Bowl...the ought to concentrate on making the playoffs first. They won 9 games last year during the reguar season.
They've annointed themselves contenders...great defense but I'm not so sure I'd be running my mouth.

I stopped watching in the third quarter, got a glass of wine, picked up the guitar and strummed away for a bit.  It looks like the Patsies are back. As for the Jets, lets see, top receiver, Braylon Edwards arrested for DUI with a blood level of 1.6.   Revis out with a hammy.   The Jets better be careful, they don't look like a team that can cash that Super Bowl check promise.

Remember, fellow Chordians that I am not a Johnny Come Lately Jet fan. I am a professional when it comes down to knowing how to suffer better than most.  40 years of hope, excitement, and promises to be followed by certain heartbreak makes for a very humble and "non-cocky" fan. 

We had to endure Shula's mud bowl in the 82 AFC Championship game, with 3 INT's by AJ Duhe.  Then the following year Ken O'Brien being drafted before Dan Marino, who consistently whipped our asses, including the infamous fake spike touchdown.  Losing to Denver in 99 AFC Championship, Missed FG's by Doug Brien in the playoffs against the Steelers....there's countless more.

Rex has made it fun this year, but every team will be gunning for them.  This week against the Fins promises to be a war, as was last year's MNF game which went down to the last minute.  Two good defenses, average at best offenses, I would bet the under myself.

Bottom line? With a glass of wine or a cold beer, some tasty snacks and a big screen TV, what's better than a Sunday afternoon and football?  And a small suggestion for Badeye, you need to watch more "chick flix" with the wifey on Saturday nights... it pays off big on sundays!

That sounds like the Patriots from 1960 until 2001.  The Jets did make history as the first AFL team to win a Super Bowl in the greatest upset in Super Bowl History.

Since 1892;
Va. Tech and Baylor have never played, not once. And the Hokies have played Duke 17 times in this time span. Duke won 7 of the meetings, Va Tech won 10. (ahem..)

The bottom line in college football is victories and bowl games. Since 1993 Va. Tech has never missed a bowl game. Correct me if I'm wrong but that'd be 17 straight seasons going to a bowl game. This feat is 2nd only to Florida State ( 27 straight ).... Hmmm?

Next issue, there is no denying, even by the "eternal arguing 'till blue in the face one that shall remain nameless ( hehe..)" here on Chordie that Virginia Tech is one of the top college football programs in the nation andw has been for quite some time. There are two teams that have won ten games or more in the past 6 seasons, one one which is Texas(9 times) and the other is Virginia Tech ( 6 times). The final score on the scoreboard is indisputable, period. And this poster will be the first to admit that the team I follow, always have always will, has been extremely lucky on numerous occasions ( especially this past week against a great N.C. State football team, much respect !!!) but a win is a win and over the past 17 seasons there ain't too many teams that can claim to have more wins than Va Tech.

Okay,so finally, enough about this poster and his passion for Va. Tech football !!!! ( haha, it's a family thing) I've been trapped and briefly maddened( not really..) by the infamous arguing machine here on Chordie( some things/people never change, it all good though,ahem...) but it's been fun and enlightening doing a little research between feedings, naps, yard work, 2 guitar lessons, and marinating some chicken for the grill tonight.

So do tell jerome.oniel, who is "your" NCAA team ?

ps... if you're ever in a Blacksburg, VA  area Radio Shack you might wanna consider a slightly different approach to the employees...(:J)

College or semi-pro football is not something I care about or follow.  Then again, I've never been much of sports buff to begin with.  I have my guilty pleasures on ESPN and ESPN2.  JRIB, Around the Horn, PTI, or Sports Nation.  But only when my time allows and when I need a good smirk.  LOL

I agree Dino... They just insist on shooting theirselves in the foot, I'm not sure how you get past that but somehow they've got to.

Cam

They beat Duke!

Don't forget Georgia Tech was Co Champs one year, Though I will agree The ACC is kinda weak in football overall compared to other Conference's.
We are more of a basketball conference

Don't look now but the Kansas City Chiefs are the only unbeaten team in the NFL.

Whoda thunk it
