Welcome to EaglesLinc, a blog that will follow our Beloved Birds from the prospective of a life long, die hard, fly Eagles fly, 700 level knuckle head fan of which I am.
Having grown up with a father who was the ultimate Eagles fan, from a very early age this mentality was drilled into not only my head, but my heart. He became a season ticket holder in 1961 and up until 2002 missed about five home games. From about the time I was ten, I to went to just about every home game until leaving for college. We would arrive two hours early and never leave a game until the final tick of the clock. It didn’t matter how bad they were losing or what the weather was, that rule was never and I do repeat never broken.
No matter how bad the team was we remained optimistic for a win. No matter how good the team was, we always had to fight that fear in our hearts that some how they would blow it. All in all , along with the thousands of other true Eagles fans we were never bashfull to show our true emotions for what was going on during the game as well as the heated debates of what went right or wrong after the game.
Through this blog, I am looking to identify with the true Eagles fan. They are the only fans in the in the world who have the uncanny ability to yell, scream, cheer, and boo all during the same play. We are a resilient bunch who can after getting kicked in the stomach, get up and ask for another one. We do love our Birds, despite their ability to rip our hearts out. I think that is because we know, deep down they are as passionate about winning as we are. We know better to never count them out as just when you think all hope is lost, they find a way to win. Players will come and go, but the bond between fan and team remains constant.
Join me on following the Eagles and their quest for ultimate Super Bowl glory. I know they say “close only counts in horse shoes, hand gernades, and Eagles football”, but could 2009 be that magical year it finally all comes together? Only a true Eagles fan believes that and if your reading this, welcome to the club.
