RIDETHEWALRUS Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 After every game this season I would spend my time just waiting for the next Skins game. The 5-6 days between games were tough jsut wondering what is going to happen the next time we took the field. While I leave this season knowing that there aren't any more games for quite some time, I just can't take my mind from the Redskins. Is there anybody else out there unsure of how to pass the downtime untill next season begins? AAAHHHHH!!! (Am I suppossed to watch basketball?)

RIDETHEWALRUS Posted January 16, 2006 Author Share Posted January 16, 2006 Every other season I thought about the 2 million + moves that we needed to make to become a playoff team. Then I executed those moves in Madden. lol. Every off season is hard but this one particularly so. Maybe in a few weeks it will subside, but for now it is driving me nuts. It also doesn't help that I found such a great place to chat with Skins fans anytime of the day. In other years my friends would be ready to kill me for mentioning the Redskins by about 3 weeks after the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there anybody else out there unsure of how to pass the downtime untill next season begins?AAAHHHHH!!! (Am I suppossed to watch basketball?) I've been doing this for 30 years. You stay occupied with the rest of the NFL season, except the Pro Bowl. No one should have to watch that. Troll the paper every Monday to see about free agents, re-signings, how injuries are healing and so forth. Then college basketball can get you to March. Then the draft. Then get distracted by baseball and golf through spring. Quarterback camp is in there somewhere. It's always worse to me once July rolls around and camp opens. It's SO CLOSE. Then, they come home and then it's like pacing the floor time. Suddenly, it'll be September. Hang in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
we_want_56 Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 I'll be focusing a lot more on studying (I did before but now I have even more time with nothing to do so I might as well study). Finishing up fillng out college applications. Playing madden, chilling with my freinds, and just checking out the news here on extreme skins. Basketball season has been going on and the Wizards (as every year) took a back seat to the skins. I'll focus on them and my terps basketball team.

RIDETHEWALRUS Posted January 17, 2006 Author Share Posted January 17, 2006 good idea we want 56. I probably should do some studying if I ever want to finish college. And btw good luck on those college apps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlinginSammy HOF '63 Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 build you a collection of old Redskins games to watch. It really helps from March to July. They're all over ebay: Right here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bricucci Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 This should help: 1. Extremeskins.com 2. Nfl network chanrnel 212 on direct tv 3. Sirius radio channel 124. 4. redskins.com Hopefully this will get you through it. Baseball and golf don't cut it. Hockey used to help, but the Caps are terrible. March Madness helps in March but other than that free agency then the draft, minicamps, more minicamps, training camp, preseason and there you go.

SlinginSammy HOF '63 Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 The one guy selling DVDs for $22.99 is high but worth it. I got a few off of him and they're some of the better quality ones I've received. The auction titles in all lower case letters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlinginSammy HOF '63 Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Do you have the link? OK, there are two of them selling that high. One is in Ohio and the other in Penn. The one I got them off of was the one from Ohio. I got Redskins/Vikings 1976 playoff game with commercials and all. Just missing the last 11 minutes of that game and it was like watching it live. That good of quality. Here is his redskins auctions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there anybody else out there unsure of how to pass the downtime untill next season begins?AAAHHHHH!!! (Am I suppossed to watch basketball?) :laugh: I hear you. I was thinking the same thing on Saturday night. Since, I have moved on to watching basketball (Wizards and Terps for me). I also enjoy following hockey (in that I mean looking at the Caps box score every morning to see if Ovechkin scored). However at this point of the offseason, you haven't experienced any anxiety whatsover. By the time the Pro Bowl is over, you start NEEDING a "Redskins Fix" (I get mine by watching highlight videos made by skinsfanatic and others). But if you don't like any other sports I suggest taking interest in every little rumor surrounding the Redskins during the offseason. This takes up much of your time and next thing you know, training camp will be right around the corner. This activity is amazingly unproductive, but whatever passes the time. Anyways good luck this offseason in keeping yourself interested in anything whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ComebackKing Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 If you like NASCAR some good racing action picks up right where the Superbowl leaves off. You can root for Tony Stewart and Joe Gibbs racing of course thats how I mainly got into being a NASCAR fan. The NASCAR season is so long too fills the gaps between the Football offseason. It's perfect for me. Sundays never really get dull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShoreSkins Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Maybe Snyder can put together a Redskins TV network. "The Skins Channel"! On second thought that sounds a little like some seedy late night pay per view station...not that I know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
