NEW GUYS THREAD

[Southieinnc]

Welcome to all you new guys. Please post here and tell us something about yourself, where you came from before SportsHoopla.

 

[PatsFan2003]

Patsfan2003. The 2003 is when I joined my previous forum KFFL and not when I became a fan which was in 1986 with Squish the Fish. Now the name is just too comfortable.

I was actually a rabid Baltimore Colts fan growing up in Ballimer. That is until they snuck out of town in the middle of the night. Now I hate all things Colts whether I think Andrew Luck is a player or not. I think my first following of the Colts for real was in the 1964 season.

I do like the Ravens though (except when playing against the Pats) but it's not nearly the same.

Originally from Mouth Off then KFFL. I don't post a lot. But I'm always reading. Been a Patriots fan since the 4th grade when I read a book on Jim Plunkett. That was 37 years ago. Damn I'm old.

 

[Yankee Traveler]

Welcome aboard fellow fans.
Yankee Traveler has nothing to do with the NY Yankees. Born in Mass, raised in VT, makes me a yankee (Wikipedia says so). And I travel, I have worked in 11 states and visited more.
Currently living in TN but missing New England everyday, at least some aspects anyway.
I've been here since the CBS boards went ass up. Haven't visited CBS site since.

Fannation refugee. Been a Pats fan since the days of Plunkett to Vataha.

Looking forward to another year of excellent football.

 

[Hyped]

Pats fan by default. Originally from Boston (Metrowest to be specific). Was briefly a Redskins fan in 1990-1992 when I lived in D.C. (c'mon the Pats ALMOST didn't even have a team during those years). Jumped back on the Pats bandwagon when Parcells signed up and we drafted Bledsoe...been into it ever since. Have not missed a game since October 20th, 1996...Pats @ Colts (Marv Harrison's rookie debut)...ONLY because my friend did not record it correctly on VHS!

Anyway...I now live in San Diego...and been watching the Pats from the left coast for a long time now....love it..10AM on Sundays! Married with a dog and a cat. Corporate gofer...nothing interesting. And I make idiotic messageboard posts (anyone from KFFL can vouch for that). Originally started posting at "The Sporting News" messageboards in 1997-1998ish...then Jetsinsider.com (still visit there time to time...love the misery over there, LOL)...then "The NFL Forums"...I got banned from that site by a Raider admin..following the snow game of course...and moved on to KFFL.com...from 2001-present. Now I am posting at KFFL and Sportshoopla...don't know how much longer I'll be on KFFL. To be hones, if KFFL is "saved"....I might go back ya know. It's been a long good 13 years there....kinda like an old girlfriend that you just can't quit....

Kffl refugee. Still posting there. Been a Pats fan since grogan, Sam Bam Cunningham etc.

Don't post as much as I used to. Much more going on in my life with family, job and taking up golf.

Old Shaffer with the metal bleachers... fun times

most High School stadiums in Texas are better than that piece of shit was. But you could go to a game buying cheap seats and move down to the lower levels.

Old Shaffer with the metal bleachers... fun times

I had been to Shaeffer many times even with the metal bleacher seats in the middle of winter.

I still haven't been to Gillette. I have been offered tickets. I've either been out of town or the game is against a terrible opponent with heavy downpours or sub-freezing weather expected. For $200 a pop.

Someday.

December 7 pats in sandiego

Trying to get tickets...but they are expensive.

A Chargers season ticket holder (sweet seats on the 40 yard line about 19 rows up) wouldn't sell me his tickets....I offered $720 for two tickets ($120 face value and I offered 300% FV).

Looks like I am just gonna buy some nosebleed seats and walk around the stadium....

And I hate that the game is likely gonna be flexed....

And the communal piss trough...

I remember being at a game as a kid...we were waiting in this long ass line for those piss troughs...I am talking about 100 people deep at least...

Some dude just started pissing at the chain link fence (on the concurse level...facing down to the old racetrack)...and everyone started to line up next to him.....
