football season arrives!!
September 4th, 2011
On Saturday we went with the fam to watch the Delaware vs. Navy football game in Annapolis. Ahhhhh, welcome back football season, it’s been far too long. You just have to love a good season opener — the weather is still pleasant, your team has a nice 0-0 clean slate record, tailgating is in full swing… Heaven! We set up shop with some delicious subs and cupcakes in the Park-and-Ride lot and took the shuttle buses over to the stadium at game time. Even though Delaware didn’t exactly bring their A-game, and ended up losing to Navy, it was still a great day to kick off the season, and the pre-game flyover was ahhmazing!

Our thanks to Mr. Zack Vogel (check out those sweet glasses) and his generous parents for putting together a delicious Mexican themed smorgasbord of a tailgate yesterday in preparation for the Terps v. Wake Forest football game. We were unable to score tickets (thanks Jill) and watch Maryland stomp on Wake Forest in their 26-0 victory from Bryd Stadium. This was okay though as opted to watch the game from the comforts of Lupos the Thirsty Turtle. The game was a continuation of Maryland’s rollercoaster season that has had them shutting out ranked foes and getting shut out by teams they should have buried.
Now it is Skins time.
HAIL TO THE REDSKINS! HAIL VICTORY! BRAVES ON THE WARPATH! FIGHT FOR OLD DC!
Hail to the Redskins!

Welcome, welcome, welcome! You are going to love it here. As quoted on WTOP.com: “We have not talked about anything besides football,” Taylor said of his discussions with the Redskins. “There’s no dancing, unless we’re celebrating a big play.” We won’t hold that Dancing With the Stars thing against you, we thought you looked light on your feet.
Watch your back, Donovan!

Somewhat old news, but… Redskins tight end
Chris Cooley is getting married today to a former Skins cheerleader who actually got fired from the squad for dating him. This event is my excuse for posting this photo of my brush with fame and glory.
But seriously Cooley is the man — and I’m glad that JJ and I waited in line for 2 hours to meet him, even though it involved getting trampled by a short-person with a crutch. This was worth it.
