For Squidly

[[AK]Devil_Dog]

I was checking out your website....
Really cool!!!!
I like your pictures....
It's always nice to see a picture of the person your talking too....
I am a huge football fan too.....
What do you think of Mike Holmgren?????

[[AK]Squidly]

I think he's a great coach, and a promising GM who has had to make some tough decisions regarding the team. For lack of a better word, the team is "rebuilding", and is now going through the rollercoaster typical of that process. I expect the team to finish at or about 8-8 this season, and return to the playoffs next year.

If these things happen, then I'll be very happy with Holmgren indeed.

[[AK]Devil_Dog]

I think that's reasonable.....
I have a feeling they will be back in the playoffs soon......
You have a very promising running back for the future, that's for sure.....

I think my Eagles stink!!! *Devil_Dog jumps up and down on his Eagle's cap*

[[AK]Hylander]

*Clears Throat* - The August Knights are very fortunate to have two Seattle Seahawk fans among its ranks

Squidly and I are acquaintances from the Seahawks newsgroup and he is the one who invited me to check AK out (Hopefully he won't lose any standing in AK for doing so! )

[[AK]Squidly]

The Eagles are another team that seems to be struggling to find it's identity.

There are very few "sure bets" this year in the NFL.

[[AK]Devil_Dog]

Hylander,
You are a Seahawks fan?????
You only live an hour away from me, if that.....
What was it that turned you????
Was it the terrible years with Norman Bramen as the owner????
*Devil_Dog spits on his name*
Or was it the ineptitude of Richy Kotite????
Or Possibly the fact that the Eagles never win a single game that they are supposed too?????
Or could it be that Andy Reid couldn't call an offensive play between cheese steaks!!!!!
*Devil_Dog throws his Eagle's cap into the fire*

I'm OK now, I'm fine.....

[[AK]Devil_Dog]

That is true Squidly....
There are no sure bets, but you know, I honestly like it this way...
You never know who will make it to the big show....
Well, that's not true, I can assure you that the stinkin' no throwing, no first down, can't get a TD Eagles won't make it to the Super Bowl.....
*Devil_Dog throws his autographed Donavon McNabb jersey into the fire*

I'm OK.... I can handle this.....

[[AK]Squidly]

Heh, I probably live even closer to Philly than Hy does... (South Jersey...)

[[AK]Devil_Dog]

lol... that's probably true....
Why do you like the Seahawks instead of the Eagles or the Giants???

[[AK]Squidly]

Because I lived in 5 different states and 3 different countries before the age of 17, and didn't start following professional football seriously until college.

I don't know exactly what caused me to notice the Seahawks, but once I did, there was no turning back.

[[AK]Devil_Dog]

Wow!!!!
You really moved around a lot!!!!
Was your Dad in the Military????
Yeah, I guess it's kind of that way for me with the Eagles, I could never turn my back on them...
No matter how much they hurt me....
Their killing me right now!!!!! lol....

[[AK]Hylander]

LOL

I'm actually from Upstate New York. Lived there until I was 21, lived in Virginia for 4 years, and then moved to Bethlehem.

I actually became a Seahawks fan when they entered the league. They came along about the same time I was getting into football as a 'youngn'. I liked their Helmets and uniforms so thats how I became a Seahawks fan. Then Zorn to Largent era and I was hooked =)

I pretty much can't stand any NY teams, although I use to like the Bills a bit when I was younger back when they had Cribbs and Ferguson, etc (Pre-Jim Kelly days).

I'm also a Houston Astros fan... so geography doesn't play much into my teams Although I'm not a huge basketball fan, my team is the 76ers. Also, when it comes to college teams, Penn State and Virginia Tech.

[[AK]Devil_Dog]

That's cool, I remember whenthey came into the league too, I thought their uniforms were cool also....
You a fan of Highlander???
The first movie is my favorite of all time....

[[AK]Hylander]

LOL - This is a long one

From what I know of my ancestry, they came from Wales and the Scottish Highlands. My name is Scott (No.. really! <G>). I then went to Radford University, which is "The Highlanders". Then of course, I loved the Highlander movies and series. Here in Bethlehem, there is a very large Celtic Fest which takes place downtown and the kid down the street plays the bag pipes!

Something tells me the Highlander theme belongs in my life somehow

[[AK]Hylander]

Oh yeah... I suppose next I should go out and buy a Toyota Highlander SUV
