New to Clan Ram...lifelong Ram Fan

Hey folks,

I may be new to this forum, but I am hardly new to the Rams. I have follwoed these guys since I was little. My first game I watched was between the Redskins (my dad's favorite) and the Rams. I saw Deacon Jones abusing Sonn Jurgensen with ferocity and I was hooked. Roman was fun to watch. One of my all-time favorite RBs was Les Josephson.

I was hooked.

Why Hawk you ask? In 1976, the Seahawks came into the league and I could finally attend gamkes in person. I never lost my allegiance to the Rams suffering pain and misery in Super Bowl XIV. The Hawks were fun to watch. THey were also my pathway to see the Rams in person (which seemed to occur mostly during pre-season games).

It has been bittersweet to have teh two teams in the same division now. It is a struggle as to who to root for. I hold season tix to the Hawks (since 2001).

One of my Ram highlites was when I was able to shoot freelance on the field during the Rams/Hawks game to open the 2001 Season...following the Superbowl victory. Spening time in the locker room post game was a challenge for me...as a fan.

Anyway, I decided to start talking about the Rams with Rams fans.

Welcome RamHawk. I also follow two teams and I am happy that they are not in the same division. That would be difficult.

Which team is your favorite? Who do you root for when they play each other?

If you saw me at a Rams road game in Seattle, you'd know that quite well. My friends who sit around me give me a hard time once a year. I just picked up a new Authentic Faulk jersey to give them a fresh look this season.

Yeah, I'll have to scan (wish I had a film scanner). I shot with my Nikon F5 (pre-digital).
