2011 Chargers vs Ravens

ollie — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 20:46:08 +0000

The last home game of the season was a blast. Definitely ended on a good one as our tailgate was on a good one. Nothing like spending the last tailgate with good friends and good food.

Pizzeria Bianco – Phoenix, AZ

So my last stop before my flight home, I scoured google for places you have to eat in Phoenix and came across this place. People were raving how good this pizza is and ranting on how long the wait is (1-3 hour during dinner) so I thought it was a must-go.

I was wrong. I sat in a little after lunch so it was empty and I had a corner table to myself. Really cool atmosphere and buildings since it was located in the historical Heritage Square. However I didn’t think the pizza was up to par with the hype. I actually find Dominoes better pizza than this. The cheese would often slide off too easily and all I’m left with was a really thin, plain piece of dough.

Don’t get me wrong, pizza is pizza, so of course I demolished it.

Carmel Mountain Ranch Country Club

A couple of weeks ago Geoff and I hit up the CMRCC for a little post-hangover golf relaxation. Nothing beats a cheap twilight, empty golf course.

Chargers vs Jets @ Metlife Stadium

Spent last weekend in NY for the Chargers/Jets game. Very disappointed in my team but as a fan, you live and die with the team you root for. The hard part about dedicating your time and money for away games is the risk of losing. It may be early in the season still but there is a question on if this team is ready to be a championship team. As of last week, no. Just like every tough loss, you forget and move on to the next week…

Chargers vs Dolphins

This may be a few weeks old but better late than never. Saw a few good friends at the tailgate and I was slang’n my new tank top shirts out of the trunk of the car. Didn’t take too many photos but here are the handful I took…

How To Make My Football Jersey

ollie — Wed, 12 Oct 2011 18:30:12 +0000

Over a couple of weeks ago, I invested in some cool new, as I would say it “toys”. I bought a Vinyl Cutter/Plotter and a heat press to make custom shirts, stickers, etc. One thing I always hated when I needed a new jersey for football is getting it done somewhere by the sports arena and knowing I could do it myself. Any name, any number, any team name, basically any anything whenever I wanted to make a shirt/jersey.

Last night I had some fun and made my new football shirt for my sunday night league and I just wanted to show you how it’s all done…

Chargers vs Broncos @ Sports Authority Field

Game day morning started on a good note by not having any traffic to the stadium 3 hours before the stadium. Not only that, a bunch of lots were empty!! In SD by 11am, its a sold out parking lot and beers are everywhere.

On the Chargers.com forums, there was a thread for people going to Denver and there was this guy that said would bring the food, we just had to pitch in. Little did we know, this guy was from Chula Vista and good some pretty damn good carne/pork tacos that fed a whole lotta Charger fans! It was pretty cool to meet people that were all there for the same reason half way across the country.

So I tweeted Sharon from the U-T who does a weekly Out & About video for every Charger game home/away. I told her “come to Lot M, 100+ Charger fans!” and within 30 min she showed up with her one-(wo)man filming crew.

I guess we kinda jinxed the Chargers by chanting “3rd STRING JERSEY” to fans wearing Tebow jerseys before the game. Oh how that almost kicked us in the butt. And the rest was history…

Sports Authority Field Tour

We took our ritual stadium tour of Sports Authority Field, home of the Denver Broncos. Lets just say this stadium tops all the stadiums I’ve been to so far…

SDSU vs Washington St. & KGB Skyshow

ollie — Thu, 22 Sep 2011 16:50:23 +0000

Went to my first SDSU Aztecs football game in a while. I remember back in 2000 when I was a senior in high school when our team would roll to the games together when every game was a sell out regardless of sky show or no sky show. Also a good reason to go back in the days was to watch MCHS alumni Ricky Sharpe out there at CB and remember JR Tolver from Mira Mesa, he was a beast.

Aztecs RB Ronnie Hillman is a beast also. He’s the type of running back that doesn’t give up once he gets hit. He manages to put an arm down, pretty much doing a 1 handed bear crawl and catch his balance to run another 30 yards for a TD. AMAZING.

The skyshow was amazing! Probably the best firework show I have ever seen. When the fireworks go off like dominoes around the rim of Qualcomm stadium, it sure feels like Super Bowl firework atmosphere.

Chargers vs Vikings – Home Opener

ollie — Wed, 21 Sep 2011 17:18:24 +0000

Nothing is like the 1st regular season football game. All the stupid pre-season training and lockout bull crap is finally over. It was good to see so many Charger friends back in D4 tailgating and all around the area. Nothing is like representing the blue and yellow. Definitely a great 9/11 pre game with the parachuters, bald eagle flying and the biggest US flag I’ve ever seen. Plus going into our 8th year, we finally ditched out sun tanning plaza 49 seats for the plaza 22 in the shade with LCD tv seats.

Cheers to a great 2011 Chargers. #BOLTUP
