hi everyone

it's my first post
at least i'm joining a redskins' fans group. Hope it's a nice one, seems to be...

well as it seems difficult to see it through the members list, I'd like to know if there are other worldwide fans over there, and how the handle to get info and to share with other fans. I would sure be delighted to discuss anything with Washington area fans too !

Hope I will come day to the Capitol city and see the Redskins fight for old DC !

My girlfriend studied at the university in Rennes last summer. From what I've heard, Rochester, New York and Rennes are sister cities. My school gets a lot of students from Rennes and this one jerk of an economics professor that taught me last semester (sorry to vent but he scared the hell out of the class by telling us that he wasn't going to curve grades. We all thought we were going to fail seeing as the highest grade was about 50%). Do you have any ties to the states or are you just a skins fan from overseas? Welcome

thanks everyone for the welcome

I've changed my avatar, sorry about that mistake

I've been to Rochester back in 1984. It was a hockey exchange between Rennes and Rochester cities, as I was a bantam player. I've been to NYC 6 yrs ago, during a trip to Montreal to see a true friend and ex hockey and football teammate.

Cool & welcome to hR!! You should meet up with Seebs in France and celebrate through out this upcoming season.

One more question: Could you tell us how you became a Skins fan?

rochskin
05-05-2004, 04:20 PM
Thats pretty cool about the hockey exchange...I've never heard of anything like that. But yeah, rochester has some good hockey. I was totally unprepared to play when I moved here from Washington...I made the college team, but never got onto the ice for a shift and left the team 2 years ago. And to think that I was one of the better players from the Washington area.

Thanks again for all the replies

To Texas Skins,
just as ISF (My father was born in Italy), I began to rout for the redskins the day I saw my first live NFL game on TV, and it was the Great SB XXII, back in 1988.

That 2nd Quarter made me crazy, and since then I've never, and will never, stop to be a Redskins' fan.

To Seebs,

content de voir un frenchy sur ce site, serait-on les seuls ?

Que tal mi hermano!!! Que gusto encontrar a un hermano mexicano apoyando a los Pieles Rojas, pensé que yo era el único por aquí. Me da gusto que en Guadalajara no solo se apoye a las chivas, aunque me confieso aficionado del América. Suerte, y espero llegar a platicar contigo pronto.

Hi Frenchskinsfan,
I am from across the channel in the UK. Glad you joined the website, it is a good one, lots of humour, lots of intelligent chat and debate. But most of all hugely passionate about the Redskins. Good to talk too you.

Thank you flave, nice to talk to you too, London's a great place, I've been there 4 ou 5 times, and I almost saw an american bowl there (raiders/saints), but I had to stay by the stadium caus' I 'd have been too late to catch the boat to return to France. I just had a real poor timing that day, and I was totally mad afterwards.

I went to the American Bowl between the 49ers and the Skins. It was a great day if not a great game. Been to France so many times it is hard to count, best time was for France 98, travelled around with three friends, ending up with being in Paris when France won the final, what a party.

at least you saw the Redskins playing, that's always a dream to me. Hope it'll come true one day.

Concerning the France 98 party, I think french people have never been so crazy since WWII ending, (thanks to allies, a thing french people has a tendency to forget nowadays.) I still remember ech and one second of that night.

when i lived in mexico...around....'95 i went to the Houston Oilers vs. Dallas Cowboys game in Mexico. in the Estadio Azteca i think... it was fun. It was the record for an NFL game in terms of attendance. i wonder if that record still stands...
