It Is Almost That Time Of Year

And now for another non-porn blog post and the 400th post for my blog.

One of my other passions in the fall of each year is NFL and College (NCAA) Football. Some think it is odd that I am a football fan, but I have been one for as long as I can remember.

The first team I was a fan of is the Oakland Raiders. Now they have had some bad years recently but I have always been there to watch the games. When they moved to that southern city in California, I was disappointed. As soon as I heard they were moving back I was very excited. Now I will admit that as for names of players I suck at that. I just watch to see a good game. I have not seen them LIVE so maybe one day I will.

The next team I am fond of is the University of Oregon Ducks. This year will be an interesting one as it will only be the third coach to have coached the team since I became a fan. The first coach was Rich Brooks, then Mike Belloti (who is now the Athletic Director) and now newly crowned coach Chip Kelly. I wish Chip and his team much success this season. I am hoping, if it works out, to attend the game against Utah on September 19. That just happens to be my birthday.

One other team that I keep an eye on is the Ohio State University Buckeyes. A very good friend of mine, Presley, is from Ohio and a Buckeyes fan. We always support each others team. Maybe one day they will meet in the championship game with the Ducks winning of course.

I will blog the scores and, if possible, some of the highlights a day or two after each game. I will also keep the scores updated on my personal website, torath of romulus' homepage. Just click on the Football link on the second page.

Below are the schedules for all three teams. Home games are in bold.
