Re: Memory Lane: Post your best Redskins Home Game experience (RFK or FedEx)
I have been to 3 games all this year @FedEx
Bears, Chargers, and Cowboys. EASILY the cowboys game. I started first getting there early with one of my better friends that I really haven’t spent as much time with out of school and we will be going to different colleges next year so it was all good times on the way there. WE got there and we went to the player’s lot. I saw Christy, Cooley’s cheerleader buddy, and got some autographs from our fearless players. We went in and I was disappointed with the lack of we want Dallas chants (if you all remember I was just posting posts that said we want Dallas that whole week). The anticipation before the game was unreal. I didn't know if we would win or lose and we all knew it meant the season. Then... We kicked some Dallas ass. The game wasn't close, it wasn't a 'good' game, other fans of other teams must have thought it was boring, it won't be remembered for a last minute drive or a toss up at the end, but only for how bad we kicked their ass. It was amazing that I didn't feel the lead was ever big enough. I never felt bad and I just wanted more and more. It started with the BS late hit call on Marcus but it was a big hit and told Dallas that it was going to be a long night. It was 7-0 and I wanted a defensive stand, it moved to 14 then 21 and I wasn't satisfied. I wanted more and Cooley was on my fantasy team. We saw daniels put up his career performance and saw cooley put up the best half a h-back has ever played in NFL history. Marcus picked that ball off and took it back so far and led to the Cooley TD before the half. Regardless of the score it was the best experience ever. The you suck chants echoed back and forth atleast 3 times and it was deafening when we were on defense. The people around me were all entertaining. To my side there was two college girls, sisters and one was drunk out of her ever loving mind. Behind me was some really cool guy but he was a dallas fan and that made the night so much better just to hear him grunting the entire game and laughing at him. Later some old guy decided that he would have that drunk girl sit in his lap so there is this 22 year old cute blond sitting in some 60 year old's lap. Everyone was happy and I gave a few high fives to those infront of me and the girl next to us insisted on giving everyone hugs after ever TD. THe dallas fan was just sitting there upset at first but by the end he coudln't help but smile when I turned around bobbing around and laughing. It was a really entertaining section to say the least. Late in the game I got to move down and down as the seats cleared out. I ended sitting section 101 row 1 seat 1. I was feet behind the players and could hear them yelling. Ramsey was so excited and it was great to see. He was just running around hitting people and running away. I called out to Portis and waved my glove at him. I was telling him to give me his glove. He started to walk over and I was like he is going to throw these up. I started to box out. Arms out and my ass sticking out. I was going to catch these gloves. He walks over and HANDS them to the girl a few seats over. That was the worst part of the night but I didn’t go to the game expecting to come out with Portis’s gloves. Later a guard asked us if we were thirsty and I said sure and he gave us Gatorade right off the field. I don’t know if anything could wash that win down better. I didn’t go to the player lots after the game but I really didn’t need to. I just wanted to get back into the car and yell out my pride. That was the best game there ever was. |
