Just thought this might be interesting. I often am curious (see the justin update thread) about the people that post on BGN. Not to profile anyone based on age, race or gender but... again i just think it is interesting.
On top of that I'm going nuts waiting for another game to erase the taste of the dallas loss so it's something to kill the time.
I'll start:
I'm 25 years old, a white male, living in South Central PA and have my entire life. I'm a professional in the field in which i work, which unfortunately does not include pylons or an endzone. I am happily married to an Eagles fan. I've been on BGN since very near the beginning and chose the name 700 Level because I love the passion of the fanbase.

Married at 25?!?!?
NOOOOOO!!! Are you nuts? Why would you do that to yourself?!?!? Haha, just kidding.
Grew up in South Jersey, now living 5 miles from Giants Stadium.
32 – Married as of last month.
Not now...
turned 17 6 days ago (11/4 to be precise). Live 1 hr. south of State College in the ghost town they call Altoona. Junior in High School. My school’s football team is a joke. I live in Steeler Country and my dad is a psycho Steeler fan. Reggie White was the man that brought me into football (yes I used to be a Packer fan because of him. I was 5 at the time and didn’t know how great it was to be an Eagles fan then) Hated football from 2000-2003 (artist phase), then I saw 4th and 26. The rest is history.

No...
Didn’t come to the Pittsburgh area, Hershey, and or Bryce Jordan Center. Closest they came to where I live was either Philly or DC. I wish though. I listened to The Count of Tuscany live on a YouTube clip. Lets just say I went to a happy place.

Born and raised in Philly and spent many a game at the Vet. When I was in high school, I could get into Phillies games for $1 by saying that I was 13.
Temple MBA, with my undergrad at the one and only Beaver College (now Arcadia). Spent 7 years in the Army, and settled in DC after I came back from Iraq and left active duty.

What about Foos05, how old is he. I saw him post a little a few days back. He is a huge Phillies fan as well.

Foos is older than me he’s 27 although he might be 28 now not sure.
I keep trying to get him to come back and he drops in every once in awhile, but I understand his apprehension, it has become a little yard barker-esque here during the bad times.

you are right about that there isn’t another Eagles blog out there to rival BGN. That’s the problem with good things … word eventually gets out.

the only other way to do that is to limit member and make it more of a club… the pro of that is you keep out the morons… but the major downside of that is you keep out good knowledgable fans as well.
I think you have to keep it open… and just put up with some of the dumb stuff.

He’s 3 now (new years eve baby) and am going to take him to his first Eagles Home Game once he turns 6. I don’t figure he’ll remember it otherwise.

I'm 31, Born and raised in Philly.
I actually remember the fog bowl, and when Cunningham had his ACL torn by Bryce Paup. I remember when a Punter named Tom Tupa was filling in for the Arizona QB, and beat the Eagles, mostly due to a James Joseph run that was stoped centimeters from the goal line.
I remember Wes Hopkins and the body bag game. I guess I’m a old head. Sucks. Good to have some young talent around here.

26 years old
Born and raised in Delaware County, attended Strath Haven High School, graduated from Elizabethtown College (Lancaster County) in ‘06. Bought a house in Aston (Delco) in May ’08 and live with my girlfriend and my dog. I work in finance in King of Prussia.
Great idea on the post, it’s nice to learn a little bit about everyone.
Oh yeah?
Nice! I spent 1 year in Founders, 1 year in Royer, and 2 years off campus. What year did you graduate?
’99.
There’s been a lot of changes since then. “Back in the old days” Royer was all girls, Brinser was all guys, and they’ve updated a lot of the buildings.
TJ Rockwell’s is still there, though, and that’s the important part.
Yeah they have made a lot of changes
and the campus was looking really nice the last time I was up there. Brand new business building, new student center, and new athletic building. Royer is mixed gender now, and Brinser is all girls. They started lettinga good number of people move off-campus in 2004, which I took advantage of.
And yes, Rockwells is still there and going strong from what I hear. Other bars in town haven’t stood the test of time, but TJs is good and will be around for a while I am sure.
Brinser all girls….wow. That’s amazing. They must have really fixed it up because it was a foul dirty shithole in 95-99.
I think campus still looks nice, and the facilities themselves are much nicer, but some of my classmates think they’ve ruined the ambiance that we liked about it in the first place. But, I was back visiting in April with a friend from France who lived on my hall Freshman year, and walking from Founders down toward Myer, which was where the cafeteria used to be, it seemed like nothing had changed. Very weird feeling.
I usually go back at homecoming and hang out at Alumni house and visit my old department, but this was the first time since graduation where I’d just walked around on a quiet regular day and not part of a big (well, for Etown) event.
The Blue Terrapin, my other old hangout, is long gone but Rockwell’s will outlast the college and probably eventually take over the town.
*Schlosser, not Brinser
My bad on that. Brinser is still coed, but Schlosser is all girls, as is Myer.
Yeah I think they did a good job of keeping all the buildings brick which really helps maintain that ambiance that you’re talking about. I haven’t been up to campus in about 2 years so I am sure there have been other changes that I haven’t seen yet, either.
Either way, glad to see another E-towner on here. Take it easy, man.

Off topic...
With my Jamaica wedding approaching, and my undying love for the Eagles…i thought it would be cool to combine the 2. A lot of my guests are from Philly, so i told them to bring an eagles hat or shirt. Then, while i was in Philly for the Tampa Bay game, i bought 15 of those cheapy Eagles hats from the dudes in the parking lot. I am going to give those out to the pool bartenders, the waitstaff, and the other people that are around during the day. It should hopefully work out to be pretty cool pictures! I plan to post a ton of them when i get back!!

Got married a month ago in North Jersey – The bride’s side was all Giants fans.
Anyway, I had a “Philly station” at the cocktail hour. It had cheesesteaks, soft pretzels, Italian water ice, pork roll and cheese, and other Philly foods, as well as Eagles, Phillies, Sixers, and Flyers paraphernalia, and a “Love Park” ice sculpture.
it was a HUUUUUGE hit. I’ll see if I can find a pic.
That sounds awesome. I did a vow renewal in Jamaica at the end of ‘06. We didn’t invite anyone down with us, but there was a huge contingent of Eagles fans there for two other weddings. It was 2 days after the Christmas game against Dallas, and while Jamaica was the last place I expected people I didn’t know to be yelling at me to sing the fight song, I was happy to oblige.

Born in New Orleans. Lived in Minnesota, the Bay Area, Austin/Santa Fe briefly before moving to West Chester, PA in eighth grade. Fell in love with the Eagles (even though they were still shitty that year) and have been a diehard ever since. Went to Syracuse and I live in New Orleans again (job market for architects was/is better here than the northeast).

born and raised in Monterrey, Mexico… yea kinda wierd to be an eagles fan here but i’ve been bleeding green since I can remember…
Pues hablas espanol. Que bueno, no soy el unico que hablas espanol.
Por favor no llamos los Eagles los Aguilas! No es no mismo.
For those of you who are curious, I learned spanish 10 years ago, I used to speak some french, but haven’t spoke that for years. I started to learn greek, that was way to hard so I didn’t get to deep into that. Its nice to speak a few languages.
Bleed green, or don't bleed at all!
Yo puedo hablar espanol. O, casi. Mi problema es una falta de vocabulario. Estoy tratando aprender mejor, pero es dificil porque no tengo la oportunidad hablar espanol cada dia.
About 10 minutes ago, I was pondering my own existence. Then I decided that it didn't matter.
I was about to turn this post into Telemundo
I have the same issues, My spanish is OK. I still struggle with el and la. Y tampoco tengo oportunidad de hablar espanol diaramente. Trato de mantenerme practicandolo para no perderlo. Pero me defiendo todavia.
Is that your car bro in your avatar, If so, Sweet.

Yep. Its a frustrating bastard, but I love it. Thanks.

Damn close. It’s the 944S (16 valves rather than 8).
I’m impressed you were able to guess the year. They all look the same from the front.

Born and raised in Belfast, Ireland, came to Philly about 14 years ago as my cousin lived there…. i guess i loved how rabid Eagle fans (somewhat like soccer fans) are and i fell in love with the passion. been married for ten years and have two beautiful kids who are 6 and 4.. my wife is a converted Pats fan, but she knows what is good for her. been living here in the Fort Lauderdale area for around ten years and there are tons of Eagle fans here also.
What futbol team do you follow (I hate saying soccer haha)? I am a Liverpool supporter. Been a LFC fan since I was young just because being a Red’s fans is exactly like being a Philly fan; loyal until death! Love it.
Sadly, there is not enough emphasis on the beautiful game here in the States. Yes, I am American (born and raised in US) but I am actually 100% Australian. Parents born and raised in Sydney.

56 ....Damn! I guess this will have to be my last post.
Although I look forward to the great posts and banter on this site, it looks like (as the oldest one here) it’s about time for me to retire. Reading some of these “profiles” makes it easier to understand where you all have come from in your comments. Most of you can barely remember the Eagles before the Andy and Donovan era.
If you havent guessed by now, my handle is where I lived early in life (the 50’s). 17th and Shunk is just a few blocks north of the current stadium complex. My first recollection of Eagle fandom was in the early 60’s when I lived in South Jersey and used to hang out with Pete Retzlaff’s kids. So, as a “bleeding green” eagles fan for over 45 years, I’ve seen it all. As frustrating as the team has been in the Big Red era, you younger guys should enjoy this time. Trust me, it could be alot worse.
As for this site, I think it’s great and love to read the comments and opinions. As a younger fan, I would have loved to have this opportunity to read so much about my Eagles. Try to imagine a time, where all you could look forward to was a column or two in the daily paper (in season only) and 20 seconds in the sports segment of the evening news on TV. No internet, No sportschannels on cable (no cable), couldn’t even text a fellow fan during the game and “bitch” about it.
Keep up the passion.

From another 50+
We would have to buy bubble gum cards to get our favorite player’s stats. You couldn’t look it up on the internet. The gum that came with the cards tasted like wax and shredded the roof of your mouth as you tried to masticate it, but you always ate the gum anyway.
The cool thing about those days is that the players all needed off season jobs to supplement their meager football wages. You could always find a few in the neighborhood. A couple of the old Eagle linemen (names long forgotten) would unload produce at the local A&P near my house.

No way! Seriously
That is cool man. I keep hearing how many lived in the neighborhoods of Philly. Not in the burbs like today.

I'm not 50, but I know that bad gum.
That stuff crumbled like it was made from thin pieces of dry clay. That gum sucked, and had that dry powder that made it even worst. You could not blow bubble with that stuff, you would barely chew that garbage. The best part was the leftover gum powder that would lightly dust the cards. That small is so memorable.

Raised in Camden, now live outside of Chicago. Grew up listening to Bill Campbell calling the Eagles games. Still remeber listening to the 1960 championship game on the radio. Sure hope I get to witness another championship!!!.

So Eagle Ed, do ya think we’ll get to see another championship soon? I’d hate to think these “kids” would have to wait ‘til they’re our age to see one.

I think they're going to win it every year!!!
I hope they win one soon, I feel like i’m starting to run out of chances!!!!
we're running out of chances with McNabb
but I think Reid and Joe Banner have a done a great job with the turnover on this team so that we don’t deal harshly with growing pains. Our team now is VERY young…in all reality Donovan and Westy are really the only two guys in the twilight of their Eagles careers that have major roles.
While Westy is the best thing we have, and we need him to get well…I think Donovan is replaceable. In fact, I don’t think our record would look any different whether Kolb or McNabb were under center for the rest of the year.

Nah, we refer to St. Joe’s Prep (17th and W Girard) simply as “The Prep” because it was the first college prep school in the city.
I figured if anybody here actually went there they’d recognize the name. Sorry bout that.

Wow…and I think it’s a hike for me to get to Philly. You probably are about as close to halfway between Pittsburgh and Philly as you can get.
A little late but..
38, currently living in Reno, NV. Married with 3 kids. Originally from Philly and moved away when I was 7. My father still lives in the area along with a ton of extended family. I have visited at least once a year since I moved away and almost always attend a game when I am home. Have moved all around the country and can honestly say that there is not one city that has the same passion for any of its teams as Philly does for the Birds. It isn’t even close.
older than dirt...and living in CA
that would be me… born in wilm, de…. ex marine… 2 ex wives… 1 great kid (grad student at columbia) diehard iggles fan since the 50’s… I know what it is to suffer ( “joe must go”, etc.) … i now live in laguna niguel, ca… am going to the flyers/kings game next week… will have to watch the eagles/chargers game on tv though… ok… i enjoy BGN very much… it gives me a chance to rant… and more often than not read some intelligent things from other eagles fans…who also believe the eagles need to get the mcnabb era over with… but after seeing cutler throw 5 ints last night i’m beginning to think mcnabb’s 90 mph dirtballs and idiotic behavior might not be so bad after all… nah!!! he sucks…no matter what he’ll always be a bird brained goofball choker… just good enough to tease some people into thinking the team is better off with him than taking a chance and moving on… too bad but “fear” is a killer!!! best to all and semper fi…

Raised in Central PA, which is Stillers country. I never could hang with those fans and never understood why until I moved east. Eagles fans were kindred spirits.

Okay so maybe it's time to move on. Hopefully it'll be moving on to winning a Championship!

Grew up in North Philthy, went away to PSU on the five year plan, moved back to work. Been a Birds fan ever since my older brother taught me the basics of the game while watching the Eagles win 29-19 in November 1995 because I was bothering him by trying to get him to play Barbies with me.

Matt Bryant. That little fucker.

Some of us recall Matt Bryant in a little more favorable situation when he missed an end of game FG (I think there was a problem with long-snapping/holding too) in that playoff game where the Giants choked away a big lead to the Niners. Of curse, we went on to lose to, of course, Tampa.
So F Tampa, basically. That is all.
I think that was the same year they won the SB...
when they killed none other than Oakland.
