The-Hogs.net - Washington Football Discussion, Redskins to Commanders Era

You know you're a Redskins fan when:

1) You get 5 Redskins tattoos inked on your body;

2) You get your blue Trailblazer re-painted burgundy to look like a Redskins helmet with a retro-arrow pinstripe down the side;

and

3) You get your blue Harley re-painted burgundy and put the Redskins decal on the gas tank, the retro arrow on the saddlebags, and the #44 on the rear of the saddlebags.

4) You have a Redskins shower curtain;

5) You have a Redskins bed comforter;

6) You have a Redskins grill cover; and

7) Your two dogs have Redskins collars.

Jesus - just about anything you own is Redskins related.....and if you don't own it yet, you probably will within 30 days!

Ain't that the truth...

...and when playing friends, every game has to be Redskins v. Redskins, because no one will play with any other team...




You know you're a Redskins fan when you have hope.

You know you're a Redskins fan when your most frequently used line is, "...we still have a chance..."

You know you're a Redskins fan when, even if no one else noticed it, you cry foul over one missed false start call against the other team that ABSOLUTELY cost us the game...

When you thought Richie Pettibone was the secvond coming of Joe Gibbs....Sweet I guess there is a second coming of JG!

When you buy S.Taylors helmet for $1250.00

When you witness the disaster that is the redskins draft/offseason every year, and still watch all the games.

When you have been a season ticket holder since RFK opened and you get to use your tickets for one game each year and you hope and pray that it turns out like the way the game against the Cowpukes ended last year and being among 92,000 screaming fans going crazy.

you know you're a redskins fan when:

-your first real memory is the super bowl win in 92 (born in 88)

-your first set of bedsheets that you actually wanted and weren't pulled out of the closet were redskins sheets, pillow cases, and comforter made out of jersey material

-you get pissed at the skins during the offseason but still watch every single game and analyze it for the week afterwards

-your dad's boss has season tickets and offers you first choice on at least 3 games that you want to go to because you're a bigger fan than he is (sec: 121 row 12/13, seat 7-8)

-on the way to the sports bar, you listen to redskins radio, and then sit in the parking lot and wait for a commercial so that you can run into the joint and find your buddies just in time for the end of the commercial break

-you bring your mom's pink venus shower radio to your basketball game and listen as the seahawks beat the redskins in the playoffs, and don't care about whether you won or lost your game, as long as you can listen to the call.

-you know exactly what to tell the referee during the timeout of said basketball game when he asks you what the score is, who has the ball, down and distance, and how much time is left.

-you force your friends, who happen to be fairweather fans or not fans of football at all, to leave the dorm room after a Redskin loss for at least half an hour, roommate included. (an alternative is walking across campus in Norfolk to meet up with a buddy whose dorm is a half mile away.)

-your girlfriend plans for the long haul and decides to suck up her pride and buy a redskins hat because she knows she won't survive the relationship if she doesn't (she was misguided, her ex bf was a pukes fan)

-when posed with the question of "if a train were coming full steam ahead and Joe Gibbs and I were tied to the train tracks, who would you save" you choose Coach Gibbs 10 times out of 10, and then remark about the silliness of the question.

...your Dad says, "This is our team. No matter what."

you know you are NOt a Rdskins fan when you talk about how much of a redskins fan you are.

that makes no sense

yeah that really didnt haha

When you're a GATOR alumni, who STILL has to explain to all his friends that this is the SKINS logo, dammit, not those nasty criminoles from Tallahassee.......
I wear orange and blue ALL the time, burg. & gold on Sundays, thank you!

You know your a Reskins fan when the mention of the HOF and Monk in the same breath get you mad as hell.

OR

The mention of Dr. Z and Peter King makes you want to puke!

I haven't really seen the unique-to-the-Redskins merits of almost any post in this thread, but this one got to me. I'm mad right now just thinking about it. . .

If your go to lullaby for your baby is hail to the redskins

If you go to the game and at your house you have someone record the game and the post game show so you can re-watch and analyze

If your dream car you constantly talk about is a corvette stingray that’s burgundy and gold and has skinned out interior (it’s only a dream now but it will come true)

If the NFL films presents hail to the redskins is forever recorded on your DVR

If your mood for the entire week relies on if the skins win or loose

If you’ve been a fan all your life and you can only remember one good season

OMG, your speaking to me!!!

Don't bring this up. I have to erase shows I haven't seen because my DVR has every game (including preseason) from Gibbs' first year back as well as every NFL Films Redskins special ever aired. It a sore spot when I record Law and Order: Criminal Intent for the Mrs. and I and we run out of space with 5 minutes left and can't see Bobby Goran talk the suspect into confessing everything.

When your watching the Rodeo and your cheering for the Bull!

awesome. i've got a special hood ornament ordered with my new Z06! will post pics when the car arrives.

LOL. These are great. I too run into Florida Seminole fans that think I'm a fan because I'm wearing the Burgundy & Gold in Orlando.

BRING ON THE SEASON ALREADY!

you know your a skins fan when you read this entire topic.

you know your a skins fan when you cant watch or listen to the game; so you read the gameplay on foxsports and read you lucky people talk about the game.

You know your a skins fan when you find a way, without direct tv mind you to watch every skins game thru the internet.

You know your a skins fan when a tear comes to your eye whenever they talk about tearing down RFK

You know your a skins fan when your posting on page 8 of a thread like this in June just because you wanted to talk about your beloved Skins!!!

You know you are a Skins fan, when you are in a wedding on the day that the Skins finally get into the playoffs, and you secretly rent a room at the hotel that the reception is in to watch the game knowing that half the men will join you, and that your wife will make you sleep on the couch for a week for pulling that crap on her friends "most important" day.

You know you are a Skins fan, when you do that last thing, and the groom is a diehard Bucs fan.



You know you are a skins fan when Dr. Z and Peter King have both blocked your email.

This should be a great year! So you'll have another season to remember in your young, young life ...

Remember - any season we beat the 'boys is a good season!
