[Sportsandrec] Hi!

Wed Feb 6 02:23:37 UTC 2013

Believe it or not, I already know that. The Ravens won a Super Bull before I 
became one of their fans. Back then, I was not into football yet. I do 
remember hearing something over the radio about it in route to the Oregon 
School for the Blind. Back then, I wanted nothing to do with football and 
everything to do with hockey. I have been a fan of the Portland Winterhawks 
of the Western Hockey League and the Pittsburgh Penguins of the National 
Hockey League since I was 9 years old. I watched hockey, not football. I was 
a fan of the Pittsburgh Penguins and I watched them whenever I could. Hockey 
did not have good televition coverige especially when my parents did not 
have cable T.V. in the house. I became a fan of the Detroit Red Wings of the 
National Hockey League and the Oregon State Beavers of collige football in 
highschool. I did not get interested in the Baltimore Ravens until I flew to 
Baltimore myself to attend Youth SLAM in 2007. I was so impressed with my 
experiences in Baltimore that I wanted to follow their hockey team if they 
had one. Unfortunently, Baltimore did not have a hockey team. They had a 
football team and a baseball team but not a hockey team. I went to turn on 
the usual Sunday evening local news one Sunday only to discover that the 
Baltimore Ravens were on instead. I remembered Youth SLAM a few weeks 
earlier and felt the same energy with the football game on as I did back in 
Baltimore. Since my trip to Baltimore, something about Baltimore fasinated 
me to no end. I suddenly wanted the Ravens to beat the Giants even though it 
was only the pre-season. The Ravens wound up losing the game by one point. I 
was not happy that they lost the football game. In the wider sceme of 
things, that turned out not to matter mainly because Baltimore took a loss 
that didn't count much tward the Super Bull and at the same time without 
them knowing it that they added a Ravens fan to their fan club. I have 
watched the Ravens ever since that is, as long as my schedule and televition 
would allow me. Last October, I got an iphone and since then, I got 
wonderful apps for watching football and hockey. I am still a big hockey and 
football fan. I follow the Detroit Red Wings, the Pittsburgh Penguins, the 
Portland Winterhawks, the Oregon State Beavers and of course, the Baltimore 
Ravens. I have not missed a lot of football or hockey games since I got 
those apps. I would have loved it if I was in Baltimore instead of Salem, 
Oregon this morning because that victory praid sounded like a blast! Thank 
goodness for newsline! I can read the Baltimore Sun at any time. I found out 
about the praid when I was reading Super Bull articals from the Baltimore 
Sun over newsline. Go Ravens!!!
