I've been a Broncos fan for as long as I can remember. My earliest memories are listening to the exploits of Otis Armstrong on KOA coming back from Winter Park on Sundays. During high school, I was fortunate enough to be part of marching bands to play at halftime for two different games, even though the seats at Mile High for the halftime entertainment left a lot to be desired (directly West of the South Stands).
After college, I moved to San Diego and made lots of friends with chargers fans (it's always good to have some good-natured trash talking during the season) and made it to more than a few Broncos games at the Murph (where there were usually more Bronco fans than charger fans).
I have since moved to the Mojave desert to work at a Navy base and can only catch my Broncos via DirecTV NFL Sunday Ticket and the once a year game in San Diego (I'm not suicidal enough to try to attend a game in Oakland) though the new generation of San Diego fans are making it unfriendly for my pre-teen son and me.
I got my first jersey (TD #30) the year before he was injured but remain faithful (and cheap) and continue to wear it for every game. We bought my son a Mike Anderson (#38) for Christmas (the year before he was released). He has had a Champ (#24) for a couple of years now, so I think the jinx is behind us!
My avatar is my 1969 Bronco in Border Patrol Green with Orange and Blue rollcage. Once I get the funds, I'm going to replace the green with an Earl Scheib Bronco Blue with white fender flares and paint the whole cage Bronco Orange!
