From NJ to CA and now Hawaii

[bk]

Most of you know me, but for those who don't:

I'm originally from New Jersey and grew up an Los Angeles Raiders fan. My first year playing pop warner football, our uniforms were Silver and Black just like the Raiders. My father was a die-hard Raiders fan and he showed me the way!

I started Raiderfans.net back in 2002, when I couldn't find a community with all the bells and whistles. A place ran by Raider fans for Raiders fans. The following year we obtained media credentials from the Oakland Raiders and the NFL and have covered the team ever since. I'm an NFL Sideline Photographer for our official media outlet, Silver and Black Report. In 2007, I moved to Northern California to be closer to the team and to make it easier to cover the team.

Recently, work moved me to Hawaii, where I currently live but still cover the team on a weekly basis. You can check out our coverage of the team on http://www.sbreport.net

Go Raiders!

Grew up a Bears' fan. With the AFL gaining steam I wanted a team to support. The Raiders were the most like the Monsters of the Midway. Been following them ever since.

Another Hawaii boy here, we're all over the forums haha!

Nonetheless it's good to have RFnet back, the other forum just felt weird- never could capture the vibe we had here.

Nice to meet you all and can't wait to get back to having some great discussions!

Grew up in Brooklyn NY & became a Raider fan the night of the Heidi game 11/17/68. Spent my childhood rooting for the Raiders in NY while all my friends were Jet fans. Went to every Raider-Jet game in NY and b/c the Jets didn't sell out used to watch the Raiders on tv every Sunday. SB XI was one of the happiest days of my life. Work brought me to the Bay Area in 1990 and I regularly flew to LA to watch them. Became a season ticket holder in 1995 when they came back to Oakland. Moved from SF to Oakland in '97 for what I thought would always be the home to this historic franchise. :)
