Some other things I love are the BYU Cougars and the Oakland Raiders. Most people who know us know that we are Mormons and so the Cougar thing is pretty much automatic and very understandable. The Raider thing? Not so much. Everyone says, "How can you be Mormons and like the Raiders?" Simple. They are our "home boys". Pat and I grew up in Santa Rosa, CA which was the training grounds for the Raiders for years. We lived through their glory days and ALL of their Super Bowl wins (something Charger fans have yet to experience) and when you go through stuff like that with a team there is a bond formed that holds you together through the tough times (which are happening right now) as well as the good times which we know are coming back someday (maybe when Al Davis passes on to the next life? or when someone teaches Jamarcus Russell how to throw an accurate pass?) Anyway, as long as the silver and black are around we will be diehard Raider fans. Just win, baby!
