Whats up Raider Nation, Im a Raider fan from ohio. My dad tried to raise me to be a bengal fan but in 1988 (i was 9) i watched the Raiders vs Bengals game with him and I've been Bleedin_Silver ever since Cool

I continued to support the bengals too until the 90-91 season, when Bo got injured. I remember being so mad at the bengals, i looked at my dad and said "I hope your team sucks forever" and they went like 10 years of being a joke, i kinda felt like i put a curse on them lol I've been coming to these forums for a few years now, even tried to become a member a few times but for some reason it never worked for me. Its been along time coming but i really think next year is the year we take back our division! As far as favorite Raider goes, I'd have to say Tim Brown, mainly because i grew up watching him and he was our best player during that time period. Cant wait to see whats next for Raider Nation, a GM and real defensive coordinator Shocked

Future is Bright

Hey guys, I come in peace, I swear, but I was wonder if any of you live in the bay area and would give me advice about finding a place around Berkley or San Francisco. Just a decent apartment. I like San Fran more than than Berkley.

Hey guys,

I've been a fan for a about 5 years, but only been able to watch a full season worth of games for the last 2 seasons. I'm born and raised in Australia, though my Dad was always way into American sports (So I'm also a Orioles, Maple Leafs and Nets fan {Really strange selections, I know. But when you have no geographical allegiances, it's all a bit random}). He's a big Jets fan, so for whatever reason I picked the Raiders to follow.

I love the way McFadden plays, so I guess he's my favourite. I think McClain might have the brightest future if he keeps his head on straight. I also love watching Jacoby run in space, he's a little machine.

So, please feel free to correct me if you see me posting, I've been lurking for a few years, but only recently signed up.

Cheers.

The Nation's from all over, it doesn't matter where you're from. It's awesome that you're from Australia and like the Raiders. I've always wanted to visit Australia. Welcome aboard

Hey guys I'm new to the boards been of fan of the Raiders for about 12yrs now, only got to experience the good times for about 3yrs unfortunately, but I feel in the coming years we will turn it around. New management & picking up productive players should get us over the hump and hopefully make it over .500

Hope to talk more Raider football with my fellow Raider Nation.

Hey Raider Nation! Been a Raiders fan since 2000 when I met my husband. Didn't know a single thing about football before that but he taught me the ways of the Silver and Black. He and I go to the Raiders @ KC game every year and this year we are also making it out to the Bengals game. I look forward to talking with everyone here.
