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

Having been a fan of this team since 1979, I used to almost die every off-season, hoping for some little snippet in a New York paper about the Redskins. I'd check the "Transactions", subscribe to the weekly newsletter, get the USA Today for the little NFL articles, buy sporting magazines...anything that made some mention of my team.
With the advent of the internet, I was able to access the Washington Post Online. I also went to the Virginia and Carolina papers, before the Panthers came in.
The Hogs.net is simply the best thing that's ever happened to me, football-wise, and I can't imagine life without it.
What about you ?
If you feel the same, why not donate a couple bucks every now and then to keep it going ?

"Spriceboy" hehe

I'm studying abroad in England right now for college, and when I get home and people ask me what my favorite things about it was, I'll be very tempted to say "Well, after being starved for Redskins news, I stumbled upon the greatest website ever. . ."

3 votes for "headin' for the falls" within a minute or two of the thing being posted--classic.

Well, good for you !! What's her name ?

There was no option that read 'at home with my feet up and nothing to do'...



I'd be more lost than the rest of you... I started the site BECAUSE I was so Redskin starved up here in the Great White North.

I'de probably be over at the espn.com redskins message board... which is worse than up the creek without a paddle ..*shudders*

I would probably be doing more "Honey Do" items for the wifey. Thank you theHogs.net.

let me start by saying this site is AWESOME!!!!!!love the information and the friendships that this site brings together people from around the world for one simple cause....BEING A SKINS FAN!!!!i myself have only been on-line for as long as i've been a member of this site,just got this computer also so i'am new to the computer lifestyle.any news i got pior to this was from "WARPATH" and by the time i got the news from them it was already old news.so in closing "BOSS" keep doing that you are doing because i for one really appreciate "EVERYTHING YOU DO FOR US!!!!!!!!!!"REDSKINZ4EVER!!!!

i see that we have two votes that say "i don't need thehogs.net". if thats the case then, goodbye, you will be missed i'm sure.

I picked "Fishing the creek watching somebody go over the falls" because when I saw that option, I pictured myself drinkin' in a boat watching a bunch of Cowboy fans going over the falls. No other reason. Sorry.

Wow. 140 looks, and 17 votes. What a disappointing turnout for so many apparent die-hard fans.
We must have more Cowboy fans on here than I thought.

well i've looked at least ten times because of new posts, but can only vote once.

Without this site I'd be looking towards a sports journalism career but that's all I'd probably be doing... looking.

Since Boss approached me at camp, I've been able to work on my journalism career by writing AND write about my favorite sports franchise EVER, the Redskins! Thank you Boss and everyone at TheHogs.net for giving me the chance to live out a dream!

I'll be honest. I'm here and at the Webskins mailing list. That's why I voted for "fishing the creek."

TheHogs, I must say, is much more active. I guess I'm stuck in the "it's the true down time of the NFL, so I'll concentrate on something else right now" mode.

Such as watching the NHL playoffs.
And paying attention to DC's bid for a baseball team.

June 1 will be a key date and I'll be back in Redskins mode for a few days.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed

i'd probably getting MUCH more work done...hope my boss doesn't read this.

To be quite honest, if there was a Boston Red Sox fan forum that was half of what this place is, I'd spend all my time there...

I love the Redskins and all, but I'd take a bullet for any member of the Boston Red Sox, and I can't really say the same about the Skins

That said, this place should be the benchmark to which every other fan site is measured, I almost wish it wasn't such a great site, so I could have some more free time (and study more!)

the hogs.net is great. I used to be able to find all the the articles and information posted on this website, but now I have it all consiladated into one nice neat package. Thank you, I appreciate all the time and effort people put into making this site great

face down in a gutter somewhere in mexico with my pants around my ankles and a tattoo in some foreign language that reads 'i am the lizard god' on my hindquarters (this wasn't one of the poll options so i added it here).

That would be Tijuana... and I warned you about the "tequila" there

Fishing the creek watching somebody go over the falls

I'd throw you all a rope.
