Everything Ravens!



Wow does Baltimore have Ravens fever! This city has been talking about the game today for a week, at least. If you don't know, the Ravens are playing the Colts today in a playoff game.

In the past, Brian and I have always noticed how everyone wears purple on Sunday for the Ravens games. I have never seen so many large men in purple jerseys. They are everywhere. Even in church, there will be many people dressed in purple ready for the game! This week has been no exception. Both our high schools had a Raven's day yesterday where everyone wore a jersey. EVERYONE is wearing Ravens gear.

They have had news specials this week which told the story of the history behind this game. The Indianapolis Colts used to be the Baltimore Colts until about 23 years ago when they packed up the team in the middle of the night and left! The people here are still bitter. On the news yesterday the news reporter reported the arrival of the Colts by saying,"Well, the Colts have SNUCK back into town this evening."

Everyone is very excited to see the Colts come back to Baltimore so the Ravens can send them home! We are going to a friend's house to watch the game! It should be a good one. So if you don't have a team to cheer for--GO RAVENS!

Sadly, my team is not in the playoffs. :( But I am definitely cheering for the Ravens! I'm just thankful we didn't play them toward the end of the season when they were getting good and hot! GO RAVENS! I hope they tear the Colts apart.

I like the new layout, especially the pic of Braden at the top. That's really cool!
