I WON!!!!

“This has nothing to do with bping but what the heck. I won tickets to the Raiders/Broncos game in Oakland this Sunday. Air and motel are included. This will be my first pro football game, and it will be in the same stadium as my first pro baseball game. (at least I will know the way there)
I won the tickets at a Monday Night Football promo put on by a local raido station.
Woohoo!! I cant wait for Saturday!!”

“SWEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats Tahoe, that's awesome! Have a GREAT time!”

“Nice! Enjoy.”

“I hope they threw in some $ for beer and hotdogs! Have fun.”

“Way Coooool...have a blast!!!”

“hope you enjoy yourself...after consulting amongst ourselves...we choose you to be the winner, because you are a most righteous person, enjoy! namarie!!!”

“Sounds like fun...watching Oakland kick Denvers A$$.

I won too. Actually, had to split the pot with another person. I had Arizona to score 28 points this weekend. The pot was only $750 though. Hopefully I'll get my bonus todat too.”

“Tickets, huh? That would imply you have more than one, then. So which one of are you takling with you?”

“taking”

“although "takling" would probably work due to the subject matter”

“Sounds like fun!!”

“Oakland Coliseum? Have fun. The Raiders were in LA when we lived there, but saw plenty of A's games. It is a great venue. Oakland loves its Raiders, it'll ROCK!”

“My bother in law is a mega Raiders fan. He and I are going. If I had some more tix, I would invite all you guys.”

“bother-in-law? Is that one of those Freudian slips? lol...”

“make a big TT sign to hold up and well look for you/it”

“Be sure to wear silver and black and cheer loudly for the Raiders or you will be killed by the angry mob.”

“Take EARPLUGS......

My brother went to a Redskins game and wished he had.

It was a VERY LOUD spectacle with $hiTTy beer $6/cup.”

“Better yet, Tahoe, paint yourself green and put two, big, brown T's on your chest so we can pick you out!

GO DONKOS!”

“Way to go!!!!

8)”

“Tahoe, I can't believe you sullied our website by discussing something non-backpacking related.

Congrats! That will be a sweet game, especially with all expenses paid! If you have 2 ticks, let me be the first to invite myself if you haven't found someone to go with yet.”

“Stop by on your way to the game & I'll buy you a brew, it's IMPOSSIBLE to go to a Raider's game sober!”

“My buddy told me about a place called GROGS that is right on the way to the stadium. You can imagine what they sell, and plenty of it!!
Bit, maybe so.. when I went back and read that post again I started laughing.”

“^5 TAHOE!”

“Have fun Tahoe”

“and it was awesome. Of course the Raiders won, but the experience was more fun than the game. The trip over Donner Pass on Saturday was a little interesting with the snow storm and chain control but we made it O.K. Went to San Francisco and did a day hike on the Barbary Coast Trail. This trail goes through town, but my non-hiking buddy (brother in law) was really getting into it, and the history was pretty cool. Drank plenty of beer and ate huge hotdogs during the game, and listened to the armchair quarterbacks yell at the coaches. We came back to Reno on Monday morning, the pass was all cleared of snow with no chain controls so that was good.

GO RAIDERS!!”
