THE. LOS. ANGELES. RAMS.

It just sounds right. It makes sense. It feels natural.

Just wanted to introduce myself with my first post on this board. I also posted this in another Rams forum today. I went from 1 Rams board yesterday to 3 today.

I have been a Rams fan since the day I was born in 1968. I grew up with them and have stayed with them through the STL years and now back home.

It feels like being reunited with long lost friends, doesn't it?!

I watched McCutcheon run all over the league. I've seen Jack Youngblood destroy QBs. I witnessed the Super Bowl breakthrough of 1979 and the heartbreak as a 12 year old watching them lose SB XIV (WADDY WAS OPEN!). Watched Ivory Sully block the Wersching FG in 82. Got to be a part of the Dickerson years and the early/great Everett years. Saw Flipper run off through the tunnel in New York and watched him set the single game receiving yards record. Loved every second of the 5 sack game Kevin Greene had on Joe Montana. And I got to be part of the GSOT years and the SB XXXIV victory.

My guys growing up were Pat Haden, Lawrence McCutcheon, Jack Youngblood, Eric Dickerson, Nolan Cromwell, Kevin Greene, Jackie Slater, Dennis Harrah, Henry Ellard and Isaac Bruce.

I also loved our lesser publicized guys like Bill Bain, Mike Guman, Anthony Newman, Rod Perry, Mike Barber, Mike Wilcher, Ron Brown, LeRoy Irvin, Toby Wright. The list goes on and on.

I look forward to a renewal of our great LA-SF rivalry. But mostly I look forward to an annual trip to LA with my son each year and CANNOT wait for opening day. I hope we will be there tailgating from the early hours with my long standing Rams brethren.

Enjoy this day! LONG LIVE THE LA RAMS!

Now go kick some Niner ASS!

My two favorite teams: Rams and whoever play the 49'ers

Welcome

It feels like we're celebrating a super bowl championship. I wondered if this day would ever come. I do feel for some of the good STL people. Its gotta be a crushing blow. But those who abandon them for leaving didn't deserve them anyway. Us old time fans who never left them got our reward for being faithful.

I only wish Marty, my late longtime best friend since childhood was here to enjoy it. Him and I became Ram fans together in the late 60's. Roman Gabriel was our hero. I can remember growing up in Fresno county with the local stations showing Raiders and 49ers games. We used to turn that 30 foot high TV antenna to the south and get the Bakersfield station that showed all the Rams games. It was a little snowy but it was better than watching the whiners.

Welcome Maxxx!

It does sound right - because it is right.

And, also happy to have so many like-minded Rams fans online after having none for so long.

Hey, Maxxx, come on in...take your shoes off.

Some classic names you got there. My first favorite RB was Willie Ellison. After that McCutcheon was the all time favorite. However, I can't forget Jim Bertelsen, John Cappelletti and Cullen Bryant.

Hi All,
It's Canuckramsfan from RRF, but I am going with CanuckRightWinger here......because, as I also post occasionally at TheOriginalHerd and still sometimes at Ram Stalk as Canuckramsfan.....well, I just thought this new whiff of warm Pacific air from SoCal that I started to feel wafting over me last evening (AND....Thank You Mr. Jerry Jones!!)....

well, I just thought this great historic turn of events of returning Los Ramos to whence they came deserved an historic name change.....

so I hope you guys like my new moniker.....CanuckRightWinger

besides the hockey connection (which is coincidental BTW....but oh, so Canadian, eh! .....the RightWinger is more significant in identifying my political stance on things.

To wit, to the Bernie Miklasz crowd who say that "Stan Kroenke and the NFL moved the Rams to LA for money."....

to them I say,
"Yeah, so what's you're point? Do you think Georgia Frontiere moved Los Ramos to Saint Lou from SoCal two decades ago because she missed the four fooking seasons???!!!

NO, THAT BLEACH-BLONDE GOLD-DIGGER MOVED THE FRANCHISE SHE INHERITED FROM HER DROWNED HUSBAND, CARROLL ROSEnBLOOM, FROM SOCAL TO ST. LOUIS FOR M-O-N-E-Y...

... AND OH YEAH THAT SWEETHEART STADIUM DEAL THAT JOHN DaVampir SHAW WAS ABLE TO SCAM FOR HER FROM THOSE MIDWEST RUBES NEGOTIATING FOR ST. LOUIS BACK THEN. I MEAN "TOP 25 PER CENT OF NFL STADIA" LOCKED IN???!!! THOSE ST. LOU BOYS BACK IN 1993-94 MUST HAVE GONE TO THE NEVEILE CHAMBERLAIN//JIMMY CARTER SCHOOL OF NEGOTIATING EH!!

I am pleased to start posting here and look forward to the day I can make the 24 hours of drive-time down to Los Angeles from Vancouver and watch my beloved LOS ANGELES RAMS play outdoors in the West Coast sunshine!!

So far I only have one technical problem with this site.....

where the heII are the emoticons!!!!????

Awesome. Glad you decided to stop in Canuck. I love your posts and was going to hit you up today. Must be a mind reader or Motes beat me to it. Hope you stick hang bro...

Looks like you found the emoticons in the Full Editor tab at the bottom of the script page after all.

Hey Canuck - Great to see you here. I know you are an old timer like me and celebrating this awesome turn of events. All we need is an offense and it's good times ahead!

By the way, can you drag PARAMFAN over here? It's way too friendly in this place and I need someone to argue with.
