Sweet!!! Regarding the off-season, "the end is near!"

This is a cool ROD tradition.

I am so freaking ready for Rams football!

It's actually 75 days until the Rams kick off.

Are we amped enough? HOF QB. HOF WR. HOF head coach. Rebuilt and BEEFY O line. Puka, Kyren, Corum, D Rob, Atwell, Allen, Parkinson and that's just the offense. Lotsa playmakers on a young, fast, athletic defense. Motto for 2024? Don't be afraid to dominate.

OK ... just to cover the 75th and 74th days. Absolutely NO background information required ...

AH CRAP! WE ALREADY F’d IT UP!!!​

 

[Allen2McVay]

So, I'm guessing, we will need to pause this thread for a few days, to catch-up?

We provided 75 through 72 but we need to hold-off until we get down to 71 days.

That's OK but I must admit I had my #71 locked-and-loaded ... and ... he was an Italian American!

 

[CGI_Ram]

Last year and 2022 (that is as far back as I searched) we counted down until THE SEASON KICKOFF, which is September 05, 2024.

Which is 71 Days.

Let’s not over complicate this.

My Bad ... Apologies ... Should have known that you would NOT have a Premature Problem. @Loyal ... Yes

Unfortunately, you do need to get knocked for putting-up Bobby Evans.
Reggie Doss was a solid D-Lineman for the Rams for ten years. Hell, even OL Joe Milinichik didn't totally suck!

But neither is THE GUY.

 

[Allen2McVay]

Of course, THE GUY is Joe Scibelli.

15-year NFL player. 15-year Rams starting Right Guard. Missed a mere 8 games in 15 seasons.

Played at Notre Dame with Hall of Famer Nick Buoniconti ... Two Italian American All-Americans!

McClendon?!? Dude ... you're not THAT young.
