Hello RoD members. I just joined the BB last night.

I've been a Rams fan since I turned 8 years old. I got a cat and named him Roman because he was white and had gray horn-like markings around his ears, just like Roman Gabriel!

My favorite Ram is Jack Youngblood (hence my handle), but Marshall Faulk came awfully close to displacing him.

My favorite Ram play, was Ferragamo to Waddy against the Cowboys in the '79 playoffs on the way to their first Super Bowl. A close second was, of course, Warner to Bruce in our WINNING Super Bowl.

All things considered, it's been a crazy ride. Suffering through the years when we clearly had one of the 2 or 3 best teams in the NFL, only to get beaten by the Vikings in mud, or the Cowboys. Then learning what true suffering was while enduring year after year of horrible teams. Then riding the highs while having the most potent offense ever assembled during the GSoT. Then back to horrible.

So to me, this extended period of mediocrity (more 7-9 BS) isn't all that bad. In my twisted view of the world, we could be anywhere from 9-1 to 0-10 this season, with a break either way. So this team is built to be mediocre. How can I expect them to do any better than are?

I have my own ideas on how to improve the squad, as I'm sure you all do as well. I will share them from time to time and look forward to reading what you all think as well.

It's great to have them back in LA. Too bad I had to move to Seattle!

Best of Turkey Day wishes to my fellow Ram fans!

Wait... WHAT?

You moved down my way and didn't tell me? Mr. Youngblood lives right here in Orlando.

Well, I meant he's from there and still has a place there. I didn't know he moved North to Orlando! :snicker:

Welcome to the board and I like the Roman Gabriel story . Go Rams
 
JackAttack85 great intro. We share the history all the way back to those Gabriel to Snow days. Hated hose Viking games. Look forward to reading your posts.
 
I am one of the guys old enough to remember that game and play ( well sort of ).
Billy Waddy's name doesn't come up often around here.
Welcome @JackAttack85.
This is to me easily the most sane with the best members of any Ram Forum out there.
Well most of the time anyway.
 
Thanks all for the warm greeting!

Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving day and will have a great rest of the weekend.

Looking forward to Sunday! It clearly is looking bleak for this season, but I am pretty sure I'm going to end Sunday with some positives to see in Goff. This is all about trending up and having excitement build for the Inglewood Palace.

Go Rams!
