Made it home and have been up since yesterday early morning, took the Red Eye express.
Just wanted to thanks once again to everybody that was at the game.
Well maybe not Nightcrawler, B I T C H stole the beer that I stole from him.
Do not deny this!
Was fun making the trip and going to the Raiders headquarters.
Making the tour was cool, even though I had to crash the party of another tour group since the girl working behind the desk was not aware of the POWER of the dark side. This Aussie knows how to blend into the environment; I am a regular 007....a mute Aussie 007.....with a sun burnt nose.
Been a Raider fan ever since the days of the Mad Bomber and if you would have told me last year that I would be walking down the very same halls as Al Davis, I would have told you that you were smoking the crack pipe.
ASFPOR's Alegate X was being represented. Took plenty of pictures so I need Sac D to let me know what e mail addy would be the best to send to so he can put on his website for all to see.
I had no idea that Amy Trask was such a small woman, I will not give Sac D any pictures of that but I will be putting them up for bid on E Bay.
Going to Ricky's was a blast, Raider fans from all over the world drinking a few beers together to get ready for the revenge against Gruden. I can not describe the energy the fans were giving off that night; the chants could be heard from miles away. Fun was had by all and I got to shake the hand of Jam master Pirate, your work is an inspiration to all in the Raider Nation.
Waiting in line at the gate I meet up with Sac D and his clan, thanks for the work you also put into making the out of towners feel welcome. Have a great time in Texas, paint the lone star state Silver&Black!
When it came to game time it was a mad rush to try and get into the HOT, thanks to tRoar for clearing a path so we could make it into the stadium without missing too much of the game. I think we got respect with you wearing the Otto jersey and myself wearing the Stabler jersey. Looking into at all the fans in the Silver&Black tRoar made the profound statement that no other football team has the devotion that the Raider fan has. He then asked me if the trip from Ohio was worth it, I told him that I was finally home.
Watching a great game with great friends, that is what it is all about!
Thanks to all that were there.
Very special thanks to Izzy, Queen B and the Princess B for the making me feel at home in their home.
One final note, if you have never been to Oakland for a home game then get off your ass and go. It is an experience that is second to none, you will not be disappointed!
