Saying Hi

by oscarx21 on Jul 19, 2007 4:50 AM EDT

I have been reading this blog for a while now and decided to create an account here.

I am Oscar Rivera, 22 years old and live in Mexico, I have been a Colts fan since I was 10 years old and started to watch my favorite sport.

I am a huge fan of everything about what I think is a class act organization and I am still celebrating the Colts SuperBowl victory, it was worth it all the way and one of the best moments in sports (at least for me).

I have to say that (sadly) I am the only Colts fan I know in real life but its great to see many places with people having so much in common and this looks to be a really good community.

I will try and stay active here and hopefully I will be able to contribute to one of my favorites blogs in the net.

Welcome

Welcome to Stampede Blue, Oscar! Where in Mexico are you (roughly)? My girlfriend loves Mexico, and keeps bugging me to save money for a vacation there. i'm not a big fan of hot weather, which is why I drag my feet when it comes to going to Mexico. :)

However, I've always wanted to see the Aztec ruins and do the tourist thing on the penninsula.

Welcome to the blog, and I look forward to your diary entries. BTW, very soon (around September), they will upgrade this blog, allowing me to take diary entries and put them on the frontpage.

Please make an account and post a diary, add some comments, and make some noise. Accounts are free, and only require an email address.

Thanks

I live in the north, in the state of Sonora, probably the hottest state in the country so you might like to stay away from here, good place to live but horrible weather.

The Teotihuacan place is one of the coolest in the country and so is Chichen Itza (now one of the seven new wonders of the world), plus we have some of the most beautiful beaches in the world.

I will try and do my best for this blog, thanks for the welcome.

What's your opinion

What's your opinion about the NFL holding regular season games outside of the United States, like in Mexico and England. Is there really enough fan base there to support their own league?

Of course

My opinion about the games? take the game in the Azteca stadium that set a new record for attendance and it was a niners-cardinals game so you get the idea, the NFL is becoming more and more a global thing.

Here in Mexico we have a very popular college league, not even close to the NCAA but you should see the fans.

I am not sure we could hold a full league but if baseball is really popular, and we are starting to export some players to the american leagues out of the college league, it might be a good idea to take a team or 2 to the north of Mexico if the NFL decides to take on the Arena League, trust me, in cities like Monterrey it would become an instant phenomenon.
