Hey, maybe Kiffin being so young could be a good thing. You never know, he could bring a whole new approach to the team that isn't 'old school'. That is, of course, if Al Davis will let him do some freelance and try new things, which might be doubtful.
I think Flavio might agree with me here in thinking that the Charger/Raider rivalry is much more fun to watch when both teams are doing well, or at least at the same level.
Its all cyclical anyway really. The Raiders will make their way back to the top at some point. There has never been a team that hasn't gone through its down times. Hell, I remember being 1-15 not too long ago.
Funny though, I never saw many other people sporting Charger gear until about half way through this season, and it all disappeared again really fast.
Now relax, I've read enough to know that none of my fellow board members here are fair weather fans. But I bet all of you have seen plenty!
Like the local guy on ESPN Radio said here the other day:
"I had never even met a Patriots fan until about 6 years ago!"
I'm sure you've seen plenty of them Tman!
