I am a little disgusted by Raider Fans calling for Al Davis's head, wanting him to sell the team and a few wanting him to die. Die! How can you be a Raider fan and wish anything bad to happen to Al Davis, thats hippocracy at its best. Not sure if this is breaking news to everyone, but AL DAVIS is the Raiders. This man made us what we are, one of the most proud, succesful, renegade franchises in the history of the AFL/NFL.

But fair enough lets look at the current situation of the team. I am also frustrated with alot of the moves the Raiders have made recently as well. Giving DeAngelo Hall a bunch on money and no long term deals for Nnamdi or Derrick Burgess. Javon Walker and Tommy Kelly's contracts are a bit perplexing as well. And obviosly this Kiffin debacle. But lets not forget the facts.

The Raiders were in the Super Bowl 6 years ago with an ancient and veteran team. We had to rebuild and reload, and while Al Davis can't allow his team to ever go into full rebuilding mode, we have added a lot of nice pieces to our team. Morrison, Asougma, and Howard through the draft. Huff is looking alot better as well. Through free agency Burgess and Wilson are gems. On offense I really belive in Jamarcus Russell and McFadden. Zach Miller looks like a good tight end and even the rookie wide out Chaz Schillens looks good. Our offense line is great on the run and atleast decent on the pass. This team is on the right path.

So whats the point of this? Want to know the last 3 teams to win thier divisions 3 times in a row? Colts and Patriots are obvious but the Raiders are the last team before that(look it up).

Look we are rebuiling, sure we took a detour with the failed expirement of Sapp, Moss, Collins, Jordon, and Norvelle. But we are on the right path. To be a Raider fan means we are tied to Al Davis. I hated the way he handled the Kiffin situation but lets not wish him dead over 6 bad years. Let's hope Cable and this team can get us back to where we belong. And I think they can.......

hi guys, I like your site, anyway I'm coming to Eugene this weekand from Boise State and I pretty pumped up about the game this weekand. You guys definetly have more a talented team but after watching the Purdue game, I think we got a decent chance. We got a pretty good team this year and we are better than Purdue. If we were in th Pac 10, I would put us only behind Oregon and SC. Again you guys are more talented, and Im hoping for a good showing from the Broncos at Autzen.

Anyway Im going to be wearing Boise State Orange and Blue, and was wondering if there were any bars I should check out while im in town for the weekand. Friendly trash talking is always fun but I'm hoping not to get beat up just because Im wearing Blue and Orange.

Everyone always talks about how wild your stadium is and I'm pumped about the game this weekand. I think it should be good game.
