A little Raider Memory...


PanthersAlv

Recommended Posts

I grew up a Raider fan and owned season tix for several years after they moved to LA. When I moved to the east coast I gave them up... but they weren't PSL's, just the good, old-fashioned season tickets that cost me about $750 a year for the pair.

I was die-hard Raider Nation guy until Al Davis fugged over Marcus Allen and Art Shell. Then he started messing up drafts and going total Alzheimers while refusing to give up any control. Al Davis, as much as I loved the guy, pissed me off and screwed up the Raiders for years to come.

And the worst? Kerry Collins coming into BOA in 2004 and beating the Panthers 27-24. Jake throws 3 TDs, Panther running backs Nick Goings and Brad Hoover total less than 30 yards, Collins throws 0 TDs and a pick....

The best? In 1982 when I was still in the Navy I actually got to slide a Raider Super Bowl ring on my finger from their 27-10 victory over the Eagles. So what it belonged to a player personnel guy- it was still a Super Bowl ring!

i remember that williams went looking for a panther fan to give the ball to and ended up having raiders fans spitting on him.

I lived in Ca at the time and went to the game. It was fun, but got out quickly. We weren't waiting around for any trouble.

Here's my Raider memory. Walking across the BART ramp (basically the subway train through the SF Bay Area, connects directly to O.co Coliseum and Oracle Arena) in enemy territory wearing my Smitty Storm jersey. I took my sweater off (in right hand) and told my mom to take a picture because she feared I'd get killed. fug the Raiders.
