if I were a raiders fan

PrintIn 14 days the Broncos play the raiders. To help start with the fun fest I have the following article.
If I were a Raiders fan (with the mighty power to actually change things):
I would get rid of the "Black Hole" reference from the stadium. Below are just a couple of the many reasons why the name needs dropped.
via tbn0.google.com
1) Many sick jokes about the "Black hole" being male anatomy are bad and need to be avoided.
2) All the Star Wars extras don’t fit.
2a) Darth Raider – Really. According to the movies ole Darth not only dies but gives a group hug moment with Yoda and Obie Wan while Luke looks on.
2b) See reference made by "Triumph the Comedy Dog" about Darth using a button to call his mommy at a Star Wars convention.
See the following video (7 minute mark)
http://www.comedy.com/embed/triumph-insults-star-wars-fans
2c) To the guys dressed as Storm Troopers. The Storm Troopers a Clones of Boba Fett (who gets eaten by a sand critter). Not exactly a good role model.
3) Who are you marketing to? The Star Wars fanatics who usually don’t care about the NFL? The space aliens who probe people in bad ways?
If I were a Raiders fan (with power)
1) I would change "Network Associates Coliseum" where the Raiders play to "Network Associates Mausoleum" or just "The Mausoleum".
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A mausoleum (plural: mausolea) is an external free-standing building constructed as a monument enclosing the interment space or burial chamber of a deceased person or persons. A mausoleum may be considered a type of tomb or the tomb may be considered to be within the mausoleum. A Christian mausoleum sometimes includes a chapel)
via tbn0.google.com
2) The stadium logo could be "Where opponent’s hopes of victory go to DIE!".
3) All the Black look would still fit. All Raiders fans can still rejoice.
4) All the Undead possibilities would be available. Ghosts, Zombies, Vampires, Lich (powerful undead wizard), Wraiths, etc.
5) Other creatures that haunt cemeteries could be available (Demon, Devil, etc)
6) Expanded marking with H**ls Angels biker gang, the whole "Goth" black wearing crew, People that are into undead, and many others.
6a) Even the Space Aliens die sometime (See Darth above for details).
6b) Almost every culture has an undead or other creature (see 5 above) in it.
7) I would keep the Raider cheerleaders and add the Mausoleum "Spirit Squad". While the cheerleaders stay on the field, the attractive Pom Pom Spirit Squad would cheer up the crowd from the stands. "Zombie" body guards would be assigned to protect the women from drunken fans etc. This will also give more possibilities on going to outside the stadium events and bringing in extra money (while Cheerleaders are at a convention the Spirit Squad could be at a book signing).
In conclusion: Mausoleum = idea good, Black Hole – not so much.

The clone trooper is not a clone of Boba Fett. it is a clone of his father, Jango.
Boba was in fact not Jango’s son but a clone of him.
Sorry
I guess I am not nerdy enough to know that. What did you think of the rest of the post?

you forgot kill al davis
that would do more for this franchise than all of your suggestions combined, and then tripled. i think you have some nice ideas, though. i love the ’triumph" dvd by the way, i own that. hysterical
LOL dave....I hope raider fans don't figure out to get it done--we need a few more years to catch up.

Ole Al
We don’t want to kill Al. He is part of our competitive advantage! Perhaps Al could be entombed there forever since it would be a mausoleum. The raiders could even have an Undead Al steer the team for eternity. Sweet!

So let me get this straight:
We’re going to replacing the (NFL-indifferent) Star Wars crowd with the Magic and World of Warcraft crowds? Are they better NFL fans?
;)

More groups than that
Sure you get the Magic/World of WarCraft. You also get all the Goth/Undead fixated people. Perhaps the other online games Ultima/Everquest. Perhaps even the D&D crowd.
They could then branch out to the Buffy the Vampire Slayer Sci Fi group. The comic/graphic novel group (Think Vampirella) could be targeted. Horror Flick groupies could be contacted, etc. In other words, a very large net.

Bottom line
I still think one of the coolest (and appropriate) football stadium songs is the Star Wars “Empire” (Darth Vader) music when the raiders take the field.

Colorado Avs
When the Avs played Florida for the Stanley Cup (Away Game) the people running the Florida Stadium played that same “Imperial March” song when the Avs took the ice. Avs won the game and the Stanley Cup.

Let's face the facts
If a Raider fan can’t find their costum parts in the local garbage can, they probably aren’t going to spend any money getting new costums. I am sure most of the costums they get are from the dumpsters of local S & M stores in Oakland and San Fransico anyways.

Can anyone help
But did the fader fans act like this before the move to LA? Or just since the faders moved back to oakland

Before LA
They seemed that way before the LA trip. They just got that extra “I’m a superstar, yes, me, me” attitude from LA.

As to the point of this article
I think it is a stroke of marketing genius to replace the “undead” with the “intergalactic badguy”… but.
But the badguys from starwars are stylisticallyrepresented by many “death” related elements already (the color black, skullish looking masks and helmets). And I am with HT in that the Imperial March is simply to appropos for the faders. The fans have embraced the skull and crossbones motif (odd considering that only TB actually HAS a skull in their logo) so they implicitly understand the nature of “the bad guy”.
On another note, if they wanted a scifi badguy that better represented death they should go with the Coalition States soldiers from RIFTS. Those guys took “skull-ology” to another level.
Damn, how many nerds ARE there in here???

Space Badguy vs Undead
If the Raiders wanted the best of both worlds they would have “The Mausoleum in the Black Hole”. They would still need to put up with the nasty Black Hole references (outside of Oakland) and the other issues mentioned in the article.
Good thing this is all posted on a Bronco site. Not sure if any raiders fans would take ideas that were thought up by the MHR crew.

RIFTS
I pulled the answer from the web:
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Rifts
Cover of Rifts Ultimate Edition: a Splugorth emerges from a rift behind a ley line walker.
Designer Kevin Siembieda
Publisher Palladium Books
Publication date 1990
Genre(s) Science fiction, fantasy, horror, western
System Megaversal system
Rifts is a multi-genre role-playing game created by Kevin Siembieda in 1990 and published continuously by Palladium Books since then. Rifts takes place in a post-apocalyptic future, deriving elements from cyberpunk, science fiction, fantasy, horror, western, and many other genres. Since its creation, over 250,000 copies of the original Rifts rule book have been sold1 and over 60 books have been created.
Rifts serves as a cross-over environment for a variety of other Palladium games with different universes connected through “rifts” in space, time, and reality. Through Palladium’s universal combat and conversion system, characters and elements from different games can interact and combine in new ways, resulting in a completely unique role-playing setting that Palladium calls the “Rifts Megaverse”.
Rifts describes itself as an “advanced” role-playing game and not an introduction for those new to the concept. Palladium estimates that “1.5+ million gamers have played Rifts and many times that number have heard of it.”2
Palladium continues to publish books for the Rifts series, with five published between April and December of 2005. Rifts Ultimate Edition was released in August 2005 and designed to update the game with Palladium’s incremental changes to its system, changes in the game world, and additional information and character types. The web site is quick to point out that this is not a second edition but an improvement and expansion of the original role playing game.3

apparently colorado gives star trek and star wars lots of love(understatement)
colorado umm so this is the large uninhabited area between California and New York, its allrite..coo..coo..
I wish i can laugh more with you guys but i dont know whats going on
instead of this star wars convention you donkeys should start making up excuses to why you lost the opener
I dont see oakland losing vs donks (well at home) WE ARE A TEAM BUILT TO BEAT DENVER
you guys are gonna be our coming out party for 08
dont get me wrong i hope you guys do some great things to bring some much needed respect to AFC west (HUGE CHAMP B. FAN) just not against us im not gonna lie we’re prob gonna lose at denver because our d line in thin air vs running team =LOSE
oh yeah special teams i wish i can take a jab at em but Denver doesn’t have Special teams

So wrong, and on so many levels.
(This will be so fun)
1. The largest unihabited area between CA and NY is Montana (if limited to the United States).
2. Star Wars, Star Trek, Fantasy crap, it doesn’t matter. WE don’t have the team with the fans wearing the costumes.
3. Coming out party? Must be the proximity to San Fransisco. I hate to see the new costumes you guys get for “coming out”.
4. Built to beat Denver? Coming from a team that can’t get past 4 or 5 wins most years (Denver averages just over ten a year)…
But in fairness to you (and for your kind words about Champ Bailey), I’ll offer this:
1. I think oak will be much improved this year. There are a lot of quality players on the team this year, and Kiffen can do well (if Davis backs off).
2. I think the AFC West will gain some respect, because I see SD at their peak, and major improvements between oak and Den both. KC improves, but not by much.
3. I’m guessing (so far) that Den and oak spilts this year, one game apiece.
I wish i can laugh more with you guys but i dont know whats going on
No problem, we understand. Getting kicked in the teeth by a team like Arizona can do that to a guy!
Best of luck to you, and thanks for swinging by!

Much respect HT
but 2 words. Barrel Man.
The Barrel Man (real name Tim McKernan) is a superfan of the Denver Broncos. He attends all Broncos home games at INVESCO Field at Mile High wearing nothing but a barrel. His costume is reminiscent of rodeo clowns (or barrel men) who serve as a distraction to animals in the rodeo arena in order to protect riders who have been thrown.
I just wanted to throw that one out. We aren’t the only ones in crazy costumes.
Well yeah.
My first reaction is that it’s not a Star Wars or Dungeons and Dragons thing, and not worn by hundreds of fans, but ok, it’s still kind of a silly thing to do.
Still, I’d prefer he wear the thing rather than take it off (and I think we can agree on that). Few things are worse than Barrel Man without a Barrel.
: )

all rite(cracking fingers)
1. youre right we have been a terrible team the past 5 years but I recall this terrible team was a field goal away from a W, so what does that say about the opposing team? with that said Donkeys have not improved and you can argue that they got worse
2. about the “Denver averages just over ten a year…” comment yeah who cant win with that ridiculous home field advantage
3. WE ARE NOT SAN FRANCISCO!!! there is a bridge to separate us from those heathens
4. The customs sometimes get out of hand
5. the left side of you’re o line is heavily depending on Ryan Clady AND Dewayne Robertson is not gonna answer all you’re run D questions
6. The Arizona gameplan was to throw and throw some more it was experimenting with bad results but who cares its preseason
7. Besides colorado is more known for being the setting of a witty cartoon, south park than a land of football

Response to Oak
Hello:
In response to your comments:
1) The win was more a direct result from the Bronco Coach.
1a) Sure the Broncos have improved. More players actually want to work.
2) Yes, we like our home – field when the Broncos win.
3) Glad you shy away from San Fran – I was getting worried. Just kidding!
4) Do you mean when the customs department confiscates your stuff?
5) I think Ryan C and Dewayne R. are upgrades over last year. Note: We do not expect Dewayne R. to answer ALL our run D questions. We expect him to be rotated out from time to time.
6) We care! Aren’t you glad?
7) That’s OK. South Park is shown in countries that don’t have American Football.
Now Mr. B, a few questions for you:
1) What do you think of the name change to The Mausoleum? See above article for details.
2) How many wins do you expect for the raiders?
3) What do you expect for your QB stats by the end of the year?

About the fanpost good stuff
i dont know why you guys have a problem with 1 or 2 darth vaders in the black hole when Cincinnatii has a billion of orange storm troopers in the stands
1.The Mausoleum good idea will add more wardrobe options
2. Raiders 8-8
3. Russells passing yards should middle of the pack at best, 15 TD, 7 TD just a bunch of checkdowns
I got a question, other than more experiance for Jay Cutler, Brandon Marshall, and Tony Scheffler why soo much optimism for the upcoming season? when I see an entirely different linebacker setup, a new defensive philosophy, AND at least a third of the players will be new to the team plus youre speacial teams somehow managed to get worse with losing Jason Elam

wtf...
After my umbilical cord was cut, silver and black spewed out!!
by Beastusmaximus on Aug 27, 2008 4:42 PM MDT up reply actions
Ok. Here we go:
Excitement? This is why:
1. Cutler is on the cusp of breaking into the Top 5 QB in the league list and will be there by the end of the season. The dude makes solid decisions and has a rocket of an arm. He threw for 3500 yards and 20 TD last year with an undiagnosed and debilitating disease…imagine what he is going to do 100% healthy!!
2. We are not in a totally new defensive philosophy. We are going back to what we ran in 2004-2006 and what we ran from Week 6-17 last year. Slowik effectively replaced Jim Bates after Week 5 last season, so this defensive philosophy is not new.
3. BMarsh has been unstoppable and will continue to be unstoppable in spite of the suspension. The rookie Royal has averaged over twenty yards per reception in the preseason. The kid juked a starting CB from the Cowboys right out of his jock strap. We have a Brian Westbrook type threat out of the backfield in Selvin Young and once Torain comes back he will only improve our backfield in time for the playoffs.
4. Elam was losing his power. We were afraid to kick a field goal from 40 yards out last season. Matt Prater made a 70 yard field goal in practice this preseason and his like 6/8 thus far in FG’s(the two misses were early in the first two preseason games..the jitters) and he has only one kick off that has not been a touchback. In my opinion our Special Teams unit is better without Elam and with Royal returning punts we are even better. Youtube Eddie Royal to see how big of a threat he will be on punt returns.
5. Mike Shanahan is, for the first time since John Elway, letting loose the dogs of war on offense. This offense is going to be explosive and dominating. They have scored on 6 out of 10 drives in the preseason so far and it would have been 8 out of 10 if it hadn’t been for Prater missing two early field goals. This offense is scary good…scary good.
6. The team is getting dissed by the media and everyone else and they are noticing and a bit miffed about it. You should know how teams rise to the insult of a media bias, just look at what the Giants did last year.
7. The biggest worry I have is inexperience. A young football team is a mistake ridden football team, but I firmly believe that the only games this team loses are ones where the offense falters. If the offense is firing on all cylinders then game over. The defense is still a work in progress and will need at least another year or two to bring back into Championship form. You’ll see man….September 8th is going to come as a surprise to many raider fans. :)

orange storm troopers
i dont know why you guys have a problem with 1 or 2 darth vaders in the black hole when Cincinnatii has a billion of orange storm troopers in the stands
The reasons are:
1) you/raiders are in the same division
2) they are the bungles
3) The orange storm troopers look like defective raiders
On #3, I am not sure of the TD to Int ratio for the almost rookie. I am guessing more of a 50/50 split.
Reasons for optimism:
1) Back to the defensive scheme that we has for a long time (Bates is gone!). I don’t think the learning curve will be that bad.
2) Offense will get their points.
3) New Younger Faster players who put forth lots of effort. Don’t see any taking plays off plus good team chemistry.
4) The Offense will score more TDs this year (less need for a field goal kicker).

I think the faders will play us rough and the rivalry is back for sure, BUT
I still think the faders have a long way to go before they even start thinking about playoffs. I am not even close to being sold on JaMarcus the Hut being the future. DMacFa is scary good and he will pose problems for us and if oakland does beat us it will be because of that dude and that dude alone. :) Otherwise, 7-9 is about the most wins I could pull out of the raider ass for this season and that’s counting two wins against the 49ers. lmao
