So who's going to tomorrow's game!?

[Boyzmamacita]

I watched the game online. There were just as many blue/white jerseys as black ones. When Felix had his nice runs and when Witten scored, there was loud cheering. So much for being scared.

Hey guys, sorry about that. Completely slipped my mind.

I went to the game wearing my Cowboys gear unsure if I would keep it on during and after the game. It was going to depend on the "feel" of the Coliseum, and whether or not I felt threatened at any point.

At no point did I feel threatened, and the trash-talking I received was all in good fun. It was as tame a fanbase that I've ever experienced at a Raiders game... seriously, it almost felt like a 49ers game.

My reasoning for this:

- There were TONS of Cowboys fans there (maybe 25% of the total population), so you couldn't really "gang up" on a Cowboys fan without the risk of starting a much bigger brawl than you bargained for...

- I was with a Raiders fan for nearly the entire night...

- It was a preseason game, and a game that the Raiders were "dominating" nonetheless. There was no reason for a Raiders fan to be angry at any point in the 2nd half or after the game. Many of them were so jovial you'd have thought they just won the Super Bowl.


So yeah, I kept my Cowboys gear on the entire time, including the walk back to the car after the game. No issues whatsoever.

Thanks again to everyone in this thread for their advice, much appreciated!

I definitely would not agree with that. Just because Nav didn't have anything happen to him doesn't mean much. The reality is both of you guys are just on opposite extremes, there is a middle ground, and that is the correct ground to stand on.

Is every opposing fan that enters raiders territory going to get beaten to a bloody pulp? No

At the same time, you guys are incredibly naive if you don't believe that there are some crazy idiots out there that wont beat the bloody pulp out of other people for no good reason. Is it likely? maybe not, it is worth risking? Definitely not.

I live in Commanders territory, I have been to FedEx field for boys-skins game many times, I have always worn my cowboys gear proudly, before, during, and after the game. However, FedEx field, from what I have witnessed is nothing in comparison to the horror stories that I have heard from other venues, such as the Linc. So, while it isn't a guarantee that you will run into some idiots that will fight you for no reason, it also is not a guarantee that it wont happen. Idigit is just saying it isn't worth risking for no reason.

I personally don't care if you agree or not cause it happened. just read through the thread.

 

[JBS]

I read the entire thread, big deal, you were correct that in this one instance, a preseason game nothing happened. Were you right about that? Absolutely. The reality is you would have given Nav the same advise for a regular season game and Idigit would have as well. Like I stated in my previous post, both of you guys are just on opposite extremes.

I went to a Raider game when they played Dallas in 05 and got into two fights. Bunch of retards there acting so tough. They talk crap and are little puss's when they don't have 20 guys behind them.

Kicked some Faider fan right in the mouth and punched another one right on the button. It was GREAT! We lost but I had a blast!

It's a new flavor. It's bitter and may cause lapse of knowledge.

That's a good description actually, reminds me of grapefruit juice, which I happen to like.

Pretty funny story regarding the Cowboys-Raiders game I attended. Should've posted this already but just thought of doing so now...

My buddy and I are driving to the game.

He's a Raiders fan, I'm a 'Boys fan... we're talking trash to one another and whatnot, until the subject of the McQuistan Brothers comes up.

He's ripping into his scrub McQuistan (Paul), I'm ripping into mine (Pat). The joke grows until we've successfully turned it into a long-winded inside joke. Ripping the McQuistans to shreds, laughing hysterically.

We arrive at the game and to our seats (section 120, field level), and 2 rows in front of us, LO AND BEHOLD... are at least 12 people with MCQUISTAN jerseys. Paul McQuistan jerseys, Pat McQuistan jerseys, half Raider/half Cowboy Paul/Pat McQuistan jerseys...

Right freakin' behind the McQuistan family. All very "Irish-looking" too. Unreal. There's 79 other Raiders players, and 79 other Cowboys players, ******.

Obviously, our inside joke was silenced for the evening...
