Every once in a while, someone here remembers ever so fondly the raucous and glorious times back in RFK Stadium. Folks go off on riffs about how great it would be if the Skins can go back and play there and how that would be a benefit somehow to the team - - minus about 30,000 seats for each game.

So, for the folks who love nostalgia, there will be a football game at RFK on the 29th of December this year. Maryland will play E. Carolina in the "Military Bowl" - - a game with a storied history that goes back at least a couple of years.

Head on out to the game. I guarantee you will be able walk up to the ticket window 15 minutes before kickoff and get a seat - - just about anywhere you want a seat. Then you can experience the exquisite lack of facilities/amenities of RFK Stadium on a day when the weather is most likely to be less than wonderful.

For those younger Skins' fans who never had the opportunity to enter America's version of the "Black Hole of Calcutta", this is an opportunity to experience RFK Stadium in a football setting.

Me? I will definitely be elsewhere. I will probably tune into the game to see a few plays and recall why RFK Stadium is as relevant to major sporting endeavors in 2010 and the future as Urkel is to linebacking.
