Introduction Thread

As I scrolled down the list of new fanposts, I realized that I only recognized one or two of the names on there. I thought that it might be a good idea to have a thread where new members can introduce themselves, share a little bit about their background (if they choose to), and get acquainted with the website. I believe that this will help us build a tighter knit community where everyone at least knows each other somewhat.

Sounds like a plan!

I like the way you think bud, and ignore anyone who gives you crap about this.

I’m Jacob and I live in Portland, CT but I attend school at SUNY Potsdam for most of the year, where I’m majoring in History, Anthropology, and Archaeology.

I’ve been following football for about 10 years now, starting from the time I bought a used Madden 64 game for N64. That’s how I taught myself the game. I’ve been an Eagles fan from the start (liked the uniforms, kinda like Vick and the Panthers). I don’t claim to know the most or be the biggest or best fan out there, but I love the Eagles and fully expect greatness every year. I also root for the Vikings, but I’m always a Philly fan first. Oh yeah, and I’m also team McNabb, yeah! haha.

Hopefully this gets things rolling here!

Hi, I'm Bob!

No, not really, I can’t back that up.

I’m not really new either so I guess I shoudn’t really be posting here.

We had one of these threads a few months back

It was called BGN Demographics. I never got the chance to post in there so I suppose this might be a good idea. I’ll post back here when I finish with my finals.

I guess I should post a little something about myself too!

I’m Chris and I live right outside of Philly. I’ve been an Eagles fan…well…forever. It runs in the family, I guess! Of course I also support the Phils, Flyers, ad Sixers, but not nearly as much as the Eagles.

Sadly enough I will be relocating into Steelers territory next year when I attend the University of Pittsburgh. I plan on wearing my Celek jersey everywhere when I’m there. ;)

When I first posted a fanpost, I introduced myself, but it still felt a little weird since I had been reading but not participating on the site. I’d love to see a thread up for all of us to introduce ourselves.

i've been posting/commenting on and off for a few months..

but, i’m matt, i’m 16 and a young eagles fan, about 90 minutes outside of nashville tennessee.. ha i’ve lived here my whole life, but i’m a diehard eagles fan. i actually became an eagles fan in 2003 when i played madden with my brother.. he always picked the titans so i had to find someone else and the eagles popped up. i’m a hardcore fan now, and i’m hoping for a superbowl 45 victory parade in philly ;) oh, and my least favorite bgn member is kolberahasbegun.

The Eagles WILL redeem themselves in the '10-'11 season, with a win at SuperBowl 45 in Dallas!

Yeah that's me...

I’m not sure if I’m playing now cuz I am applying for the ROTC scholarship and if I get they they may not allow me to play.. And quite frankly when it comes down to it if I have to choose between playing football and getting my school 100% payed for + wont have to work then I’m taking the latter of the two..

But my intentions are to play.

Hi, my name is Matt and I'm an Eagleholic...

I’m from Bucks County, currently attending Lehigh University (we’re gonna wreck Kansas! go engineers mountain hawks) & everyone in my family is an Eagle fan & I attend most home games, but when I’m watching other games you’ll probably see my name on the game thread.

Hi, my name is Scott and the following is copied from my bio on here:

Current college student at Rutgers New Brunswick (freshman). Born and raised in the Philly ’burbs, on the Jersey side. Calls a roll with meat/cheese/veggies on it a hoagie and hates the Cowboys. Looking to major in Journalism and History/Political Science, with the hope of entering the Sports Journalism industry after college.

My dream would be to work for 610 WIP or The Inquirer – depending on whether or not I intend to write or talk for a career. Ray Diddinger is my hero and inspiration, both for writing and broadcasting. On 610 I enjoy listening to Angelo & the Morning Team but Glen is the guy that I can say I’d like to emulate. At the Inquirer, Gonzo has the job I’d love to have – page 2 columnist

My name is Richard Muffin (my friends call me Dick).

I am located somewhere on God’s green earth, don’t know where that is though. I’ve been lost for some time, and survive on various woodland creatures and local shrooms I find along the way, plus the occasional pine-cone for fiber. I’ve been a die-hard Eagle’s fan ever since I raided one of their nests which resulted in one hell of a breakfast. I’ve hated the Cowboys ever since Enis and Jack came to my campsite and……..well…..lets just say that’s not the kind of ride I was asking for. :(

I'm Mathias

And I am, as far as I could see skimming down this list, the only european (I might obviously be wrong though). I’m from Copenhagen, Denmark. I’m 19, played football for a year and a half, went from DE to Will/Mike as I moved from junior squad to the senior this offseason. A senior in our equivalent to high school. Been an eagles fan for two-two and a half years or so (basically since I started watching the NFL).

Intro

I guess since I am still relatively new I qualify for this.

My name is Nate and I have been watching football since 1993. It was never a big thing at my house but my friends house was a different story. I,sadly, started off as a 49ers friend because that was my best friends favorite team. I only intermittently watched the games and was at best an average fan of the team, but a huge fans of the players. (namely Young, Craig, Montana, Rice). In 1998 I joined the Army and heard a lot of negativity from other people about the Eagles. They were fans from all over and so I decided to stick up for my hometown team and have and will be an Eagles fan ever since. My hatred for the Cowboys has been my longest ongoing football memory and stems from my time as a 49ers fan, so it was quite an easy transition. I have started hating all things Dallas since encountering a person from Dallas in the Army and subsequently beating him with a clothes iron. (not just because he was from Dallas, but other reasons too). I am very passionate about the Eagles and have gone to great lengths to show my support, including betting $400.00 that they would win against St. Louis in the 2002 NFC Championship game down 2 scores and with only 4 minutes and change to go. I lost that, but nobody ever questioned my fanship again.
Anyway that is a little of me.

just to clarify

By hating all things Dallas I have extended to other sports I don’t even watch that often.

I hate the Dallas Stars, I hate the Dallas Mavericks and I even hate FC Dallas, their MLS club. I hate musicians from Dallas, I hate the Kansas City Chiefs because they have some connection to Dallas, can’t think what it is but I know I heard it. More recently I started hating the Gaints more and more. I have not wasted any time hating Washington too much because when was the last time they were any real threat to us. Okay enough clarification.
