You could smell it. The hamburgers, sausages, hot dogs, scrapple sandwiches, and BBQ chicken cooking on the grills. You could feel it. The excitement. The anticipation. The deliria. Those of us that attended Sundays game against the Bucs were there to witness history . . . and we were excited about it. The Bucs game was Joe Gibbs\u2019 first regular season game since returning to the Redskins. The victory would also be #500 for the Reskins. Ladies and Gentlemen, it doesn\u2019t get much better than that.<\/p>\n

This week, TheHogs.Net tailgate was up and running again and there were a lot of folks partying nearby. We met some old friends (from previous tailgates) as well as some new friends. It was obvious that all of us were a little stir-crazy at the thought of entering FedEx Field and seeing Joe Gibbs<\/a> coach his first regular season game . . . and we surely weren\u2019t disappointed, were we? <\/p>\n

There were a lot of Hogs.Net brothers in attendance this week. Including myself, DEHog and Hailskins666 (which will be the \u201cregulars\u201d at the tailgates), there was also JPFair, Jansenfan, and RedskinsRule56. In the future, we hope a lot more of our fellow Hogs.Net brothers and sisters come out and join us. If you do, be sure to remember to wear your Hogs.Net tee-shirts!!!<\/p>\n

\n

Many other people stopped by our tailgate this week. Here\u2019s what they had to say (and my apologies if I misspelled anyone\u2019s name):<\/p>\n

Neal Sheladia from Gaithersburg, MD writes, \u201cRedskins all the way!\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n

Rocky Sheladia from Gaithersburg, MD writes, \u201cGibbs is back!\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n

Not to be outdone, Pamitha Weerasingle from Marietta, GA writes, \u201cA new Clinton in Washington!\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n

Brian Bette from Germantown, MD was extremely excited when he states, \u201cYou\u2019ll rock! It\u2019s our year baby!!\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n

Rukshan Gunawardana from Germantown, MD stopped by our tailgate and stated, \u201cWe Want Dallas!!\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n

Ron Levin (RedskinsRule56\u2019s father) from Potomac, MD stopped by and wrote, \u201cGibbs all the way!\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n

Rick Hargreave from Centreville, VA stopped by to give us this year\u2019s prediction: \u201c10 \u2013 6, playoffs!\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n

Not to be outdone, Scott Tucker from Silver Spring, MD stopped by and gave us his two cents: \u201c12-4!\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n

Indian Girl from Arlington, VA walked up, all decked out in her garb, and wrote, \u201cGo Skins!\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n

Sean Conway from Elliott City, MD was giddy with excitement when he wrote, \u201cHail to the Chief! Gibbs is back!!! 1 \u2013 0 vs. Tampa!!!!\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n

Michael Goddard from Crawley, WV was passing along messages when he wrote, \u201cSee you tomorrow, Gridironmike!\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n

Finally, Kelly Goddard from Manassas, VA stopped by and said, \u201cHappy days are here again. Joe & the dirtbags are back!!!\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n

Folks, this is just the beginning of our tailgate activities. Each week, we expect it to grow, and to become bigger and better. We are here to tell others about the best Redskins website on the \u2018Net and to celebrate Redskins football. We would love it if you all came out to join us!<\/p>\n

Be sure to check the Tailgating photos section too.<\/p>\n

Until next time, save one of those beers for me!<\/p>\n
