Raiii-derrrs! Raiii-derrrs!

Just a reminder that you can help make the First Drive Experiment a success
on Monday night. To recap, the goal is to chant the familiar "Raiii-derrrs"
war cry during San Diego's first offensive drive in order to freak out
Philip Rivers and the Chargers; to pump up our team; and to serve notice to
a national television audience that the Raider Nation is still loud and
proud.

This idea has been met with considerable enthusiasm on several Raiders sites
and forums. I have also received several emails about it (thanks to Chris P.
for today's email). As stated before, I think there are three keys to making
it happen:

1. Keep the concept simple by focusing on the first drive. The chant might
emerge at other points in the game, but the initial concept needs to be
clear and simple in order to get the word out.

2. Spread the word. I encourage other Raiders
forums and outlets to also run with this idea and help spread the word. It
won't happen unless we can get reach a critical mass of fans.

3. Get the Oakland Raiders organization involved. How can we get the team to
flash "Raiii-derrs" on the scoreboard during the Chargers' first offensive
drive? That would really help get the crowd into it. If anyone has the right
connections, please speak up.

Wouldn't it be cool if we could pull it off? Personally, I would freak out.
Imagine 60,000 fans chanting "Raiii-derrrs" in unison to kick off the
season. Let me know what you think, and thanks again for spreading the word.
