[TheDYVKX]

Hello, everybody. I'm TheDYVKX, but you can call me Bruce. I'm 37, from St. Augustine, Florida and I love the Rams. I've been a fan since they came to St. Louis, so about 1995. I've been a fan through some tough times, but it looks to be getting better for us Rams fans. The future is definitely looking much less bleak. I'm in the flooring business, so if anybody happens to live in the area and needs their floor redone, I'll give you a Rams fan discount . I'm married to my crazy wife who I'm surprised hasn't murdered me yet. Most of my free time is used on drinking and watching sports, so the two best things on earth, am I right? I don't have that exciting of a life, just living the nice warm Florida life .

I'm weaning myself off that abusive drug they call the St. Louis Post Dispatch, which is the worst thing that's ever happened to me (maybe I'm stretching it just a little), but yet I still go on there every day. I need the rehab they call Rams on Demand. Can somebody please help me? I'll be happy to go to any AA meetings.

As to my posting style, I'm kind of a know it all, so bear (bare?) with me. You can probably poke holes in every argument I have, so go easy my new comrades.

I'm happy to be here! Soon the PD will no longer have a hold on me. Thanks for taking me! I've been reading posts and you guys seem like such great people. At least there aren't any dang Whiner fans on here.

Seems like so long ago. Best decision I ever made.

I am a long time Rams fan, going back to '76... used to go to practices to watch Jack Youngblood, Nolan Cromwell, etc. Just discovered this site and am very much looking forward to this season. Born and raised in OC, but actually was living in St. Louis when the Rams moved there... been back in OC since '96, but following them my entire life (some pain thru the years with the sweetness of '99-00).

It's like discovering gold in your back yard. Great to have you with us and great name with vowels in it too. Don't try pronouncing some of these guys names in your head or you'll get brain damage. I know of what I speak because it's what happened to me. We have a great community here that I think you'll like and we have brothers all over the world.

Thanks for the welcome...
One of my favorite memories as an 11-year old was asking Rich Saul for an autograph and having him being utterly shocked I knew his name (no names on practice jerseys back then), his Pro Bowls, etc... he took a lot of time to talk with me and gave a great personalized autograph... then Jack Youngblood walked up to me and I couldn't say a word. LOL, I knew more about him than any other player, but I was just in total awe... just handed him my autograph pad speechless, sheesh.

My name is Max from Albuquerque. Been a rams fan since a family vacation to LA in '68 when I was a kid. Gabriel to Snow and the Fearsome Foursome who wouldn't be a fan of that team. But everyone where I grew up was all about Dandy Don and Bullet Bob and all those cowpokes. Living so far from LA and with Dallas hogging the TV broadcasts I had to content my self with an occasional game on TV and Stratomatic Football... any of you old guys remember that game.

Anyway I have been lurking here for a couple of years, wandering over from lurking at Ramstalk and sure glad to be here.

Since you've been lurking here for some time I don't need to tell you much about our community but I'm sure you're extremely happy to have finally found your oasis. Though it took you an inordinately long time to come to your senses.:eek:

Pay no attention to that man behind the curtains @Cochiti . As CGI knows very well, it's illegal to send hazardous material in the mail so unfortunately, no home made fruit cake for you. I gotta tell ya, be on the periphery of a couple of mysterious deaths and the authorities way over react.

Welcome Cochiti! The '68 Rams were a special team and should have been the ones to crush the overrated Jets in the SB! Like you, I was a Ram fan raised in enemy territory - For me, it was the SF Bay Area. (Niners Suck!) You'll find a lot of fellow fans here from all age groups. The knowledge and humor are abundant. Jump in and post! The water's fine...

Now that's a cool story! Saul and Jack Youngblood -Wow, two of my all-time favs from back in the day. I got Fred Dryer's autograph in SF and that was surreal, too! What a defense we had back then - I still believe it was one of the best ever... Top 5 statistically!

Welcome aboard. Be sure to explore around this fantastic site - check out the other forums like "Off Topic." Very cool to pass the time waiting for Sundays. Enjoy!
