How Long Have You Been A Fan???

[rome108]

born in 70, first exposed to the Skins in the mid 70's. My parents were/are big fans. Also, Roy Jefferson use to have a local kids show on like PBS or some local channel where kids would come out and hang with him. Anyone else remember that show?

Also, we use to go to McDonald's and get hamburgers cuz of Chris Hanburger.

Became a serious fan in Gibbs' first year. I remember my best friend (who really was into football and was a cowboy fan) said to me - the Skins could still make the playoffs as a wild card team this year, so I started really watching. They did not of course that first year make the playoffs, but they finished 8-8, after starting 0-5. Of course we all know what happened the next year (superbowl win!!), so it was a perfect time for me to seriously jump on board. But I guess you could say a cowboy fan got me to be a serious skin fan.

My friend who is still my best friend and still a cowboy fan some 23 years later, still lives in the DC area. I now live in Florida. When Gibbs was rehired in February, he called me up and said "I have to admit - I'm a little concerned about this". I thought that was funny, I laughed in his face and told him the cowboys were going down!

Unfortunately, he got the last laugh after the loss to the cowboys a couple of weeks ago, he called me up to break my balls. I told him the refs lost the game for us. He laughed at me and said whatever, but he knew I was right. Although for now, he does have braggin rights.

I know we'll get there though, If Gibbs can't turn this around, no one can. Wait til we go to Dallas on Dec. 26. I just hope the game means something!
