Why you chose to be a Redskins fan:

I was 9 and was watching them on tv and the uniforms got me..then the players Charlie Taylor and Larry Brown were my favs and so many others thru the years . And that know I'm 46 I'll go to my grave be a Redskins fan. Its been like riding a roller coaster and all the feelings riding one.

everyone in my family roots for Dallas YUCK!! I just was different I guess.... My brother is a Dolphins fan since we were born in Florida.

So I notice you were born in Florida but you currently reside in Norman, OK. Who were you cheering for when the Gators beat "Big Game" Bob Stoops and the Sooners in January?

I love this team but I really don't care for the owner or Vinny C. As Sfredskin fan said, they're like family. I can remember in 1977 when I was 7 years old and they started off 6-0 and ended up not making the playoffs. They were the hometown team and that's how it started for me. I've lived in the DC area my whole life so I follow this team closely.

It was #9, always Sonny, thow'in to Taylor and handing off to Brown! I grew up near Mt. Vernon, just outside of DC. Washington was crazy over the Skins, and I'm older than you!

It was either the Redskins or Broadway Musicals and I chose the Redskins. Do I ever regret my decision? Sometimes on opening nights, I ponder whistfully what might have been, but I've made my bed...

O dude I had to root for Florida!!! I love the Gators man but it's funny my wife just graduated from OU and she is still mad at me lol! I hope Tebow and the gators can win 3 out of 4 next year!!!!

But I give mad props to OU because their Stadium And Fans are Amazing, and they have won 7 national titles so you can't hate on them too much.

Hell yeah. I don't hate on OK. I've got nothing but love for Stoops. He got the OU job because of his performance as D-Coordinator under Spurrier at Florida. Florida's D sucked, and he came in and we won our first title in his first year coaching the defense. I actually met him a few times during offseasons in Gainesville. Super nice guy. I'm friends with the son of one of the bigger boosters for the Gators, so I had the opportunity to have a few beers in the company of Stoops and Ron Zook. Both really cool guys. Zook can drink with the best of them btw.

I became a fan around 1974 or so...I loved those old uniforms with the yellow pants.
I remember seeing the old bumper stickers on cars all over town, "I am for Sonny" or I am for Billy".
Getting those free Redskins drinking glasses at Shell or was it Sunoco (?) gas station if you pumped 8 gallons or more. I still have a lot of them.
7-11 had those plastic player collectors cups. Even though the skins were not very good then, it was easy to become a fan.
Sonny, Billy, a young Joe Thiesman returning punts, Larry Brown, Charlie Haraway, Roy Jefferson, Charlie Taylor, Jerry Smith, Chris Hanburger, Ron Mcdole, Diron Talbert, Coy Bacon, A young Dave Butz, Pat Fischer, MIke Bass, Ken Houston, Speedy Duncan...
It was rewarding as a fan to suffer through those early losing years to later have George Allen take us to SB 7 (loss) and then the Gibbs/Bethard dynasty.
I now relaize that for you fans that are too young to watch the Gibbs 92 SB win live, have suffered through 17 years of average to below average football. That is a long time.

LOL yea Stoops is the Shit! Real cool and down to earth guy! But Honestly I think Urban is a little bit ahead of Bob, but stoops recruits so good that OU will be damn good as long as he is here! BTW Adrian Peterson is the coolest player I have met so far, it was funny how he always drove around in BMW'S and Benzes lol.
