skinsnut1823 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Well I searched it out and definitely didn't find a thread like this. I need everyone's advice. First off, I'm a die hard. For 27 years I've ate, slept, and breathed Washington Football in NY no less, so access has been few and far between. A few games here and there down in DC and one signed autograph from Charles Mann ( met his sister while working a few weeks in Sterling,Va). Anyway I work in food retail and was offered the opportunity to see the Skins play this year in Indianapolis in a way not many of us will ever get to do. I have the opportunity to actually fly to and home with the actual Team!!! I get to be on the the sideline as well!!!! Now that I put that out there I can say as calmly as I can type it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boss_Hogg Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 That's awesome! Congratulations. Give Haz some pointers on how to call a defense. Seriously I wouldn't know what to say or do. I've met a few Skins players here and there, but I've never been on the sidelines with the team. Get pix if you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WFC Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 All I can say is WOW!!! I am truly happy for you and hope it is the best experience of your life. I'm not a jealous person at all but I'm a little green over this one. Have a blast and enjoy the moment. HTTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComManDersFan57 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Wow! Congrats! Enjoy it and try not to over think beforehand. I'd be so excited I wouldn't know what to do either. Take the opportunities as they are presented. I'm sure someone will be with you to help, guide, etc. Take pix and share them with us.Enjoy the moment!

TK Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014  If you stood on the sideline and Ryan Kerrigan runs off the field what do you do? Maybe Luck runs out of bounds do you help him up or push him out? Lol. You'll most likely only have pre game field access. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooleyfan1993 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 that game is going to be horrible anyway. i'd say give the tickets to somebody else and just dont bother going... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JesseNeckred Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Enjoy your time with the Skins! Wear those burgundy colored glasses and be a good example of how dedicated this fan base can be! A dedicated fan could easily be inspirational to the team.

Â Knowing your previous posts I can't tell if this is sarcasm or if you've officially been run down to depressing apathy with the rest of us lol.

skins214428hail Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Dude this is your superbowl. Congrats. Keep in perspective that the washington Redskins are only human too. They are no more special then you or I. Take time to see the human being behind the mask. Ask some questions Non Football related.Treat them as A star and they will not notice you. Treat them as A friend and they will treat you as a star. Â Â Â Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Treat them as A friend and they will treat you as a star. That's some good insight. As I said I'm pretty stoked. The flight from Dulles to Indy is a little over an hour so it should be just enough time to maybe get a handshake or two and maybe suggest an audible lol. What could be a good football fan question to ask? Like at what point did you realize you had what I took to be in the NFL? Side note, I will follow up with some pictures. Ill take what ever I'm allowed to as im sure there will be some kind of rules and regulations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BatteredFanSyndrome Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 I second the thought to show that 2012 video, damn near brings tears to my eyes. That was by far the highest of all highs of my adult life as a Skins fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinsnut1823 Posted November 23, 2014 Author Share Posted November 23, 2014 Well that was in fact the nicest five minutes I've had since in fact 2012 watching this team. Outstanding video to bring up. I have to admit controversy aside, if I get to have a conversation with RG3 I might just say your performance in 2012 was the most inspiring and heart breaking of my life. I still have faith super bob lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinsnut1823 Posted November 28, 2014 Author Share Posted November 28, 2014 Well a lot has changed since I last used updated this thread hasn't it? In a few hours I'm driving down to DC. I'm being told 11:45 Saturday morning is checkin at the stadium. So I would assume not long after we drive over to the airport. Not sure of the rules yet but I will be sure to ask RG3 if he thinks he will get to play again this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinsnut1823 Posted December 3, 2014 Author Share Posted December 3, 2014 Well aside from butt whupping we received. It was crazy fun! I'll be posting some pictures and some details on the event later tonight. One call out I want to say first and foremost was the diehards that were at Redskins park gate. They were there when I left and when we got back. I commend you all. Here's a shot of RG3 speaking with his parents on the sideline. Once again more to come later. [/img] I have to mess around with the attachments of the pictures to not come out so grainy. My apologies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
