Football is almost here

American Football, that is. Get your chips and dip all ready.

**raijin1** · August 23rd, 2006, 09:25 PM

Damn skippy beeyatch...

The outlook for my teams...

Ga Tech is going to suck this year (maybe not totally, but pretty bad)... They lost their star running back and QB Reggie Ball hasn't found any kind of consistency yet...

Atlanta Falcons... Who knows... Could be great if Michael Vick gets his game together... But they just traded their best short yard back for a receiver, so I don't really see them being any better off...

Blah, I am over-analyzing... Break out the brewskies!!!!

**cracken** · August 23rd, 2006, 09:43 PM

Yep, can't wait, especially seeing that the Red Sox are going down the toilet.
Go Pats!

even though I'm from Texas, these are MY teams

**lukebeulah** · August 24th, 2006, 11:07 AM

Yes!!!!!! I can't wait for football to actually start in a few weeks!!

It has been a long summer waiting for opening games- and I don't mean pre-season BS-

Let's get it on.... Go Broncos!!!!

Yes I can hardly wait for the season to be over so I can say, once again, "Well, maybe next year." For my 2 teams.

I am a Raider fan, but Dallas doesn't look half bad. Look for the wild card.

walk right in.

becomes one of the state's largest cities.

Concessions

TEXAS: Drinks served in a plastic cup, with the home team's mascot
on it, filled less than half way with soda, to ensure enough room for
your favorite beverage.

goes to the nearest package store for additional beverage supplies,
and planning begins for next week's game.
