Pig Pen: Week 1

Sunday was a great way to start the season for me. We got a good, character-building win to start off the season. We fought our guts out and made the plays we had to, when we had to, to pull out a tight victory over the Dolphins. That being said, the purpose of the pig pen is to talk about tailgating. While we at THN aren’t having the full bells and whistles all out tailgate like we did last year, we are still meeting up on Sundays. There’s no catering or Hogettes, just a bunch of THN’ers getting together to hang out before the game. This week, we had some new members come out, and it was great to meet them. Making a very special, one-time, limited engagement appearance was UK Skins Fan. A very cheeky chap on-line, he’s a very down-to-earth guy in person, and it was great to get to know him on a more personal level than making fun of him in smack. Cappster also made the tailgate with his future-Redskinette girlfriend Shannon. These two turned out to be great people to hang out with. On behalf of THN I wish Shannon all the luck in the world with her try-outs. Hopefully at this time next year, she’ll be the official Redskinette of THN. Also putting in a brief appearance were Jake and SkinsJock. Jackson loves it when Jake comes. Those two always have a blast playing football. SkinsJock stopped in with UK Skins Fan to say, “G’Day” before heading into the stadium. It was fun for all. I hope to see a few more of you drop by as the season goes on. We will be setting up shop in lot A72 for most games. We aren’t catered this year, so just bring what you want to eat and drink. If you need a grill, we’ll have one. Hail to the Redskins, and happy…
