Raptors Republic Roll Call - "Get to Know You Edition"

[MACK11]

1 & 2. I do watch a lot of classic games, and I went to that game as a kid. Plus, I'm a avid sports history reader. And I went to that game..... so it's forever in my head. Heck, when it came to tickets and the question being when Vince scored 50, I said that game right away, even though it wasn't credited as a correct answer.

3. No.... I've had Coors though. I don't mind beer at all.

4. Care to hear who my ideal sport date would be? Going ahead and just meeting a old sports legend of any sorts, or Dick Irvin.


(P.S. I'm the same age as the team. The Raptors franchise is not 20 just yet..... we didn't receive the team until December of 95. I was born December 21, 1995.)

Me and you are born on the exact same day and the exact same year.

[Cody73]

The Raps are older than you which makes me feel old, thanks bud!

Bold 1: Do you watch many old classic games? lol Cuz you would've been like 2 when Damon left!
Bold 2: You must watch a lot of classic games or have a great childhood memory, I barely remember that and I was 21 at the time! (see #3 for reasoning)
Bold 3: Have ya tried a Guinness yet?
Bold 4: Skylar Diggins(athlete) float your boat? Or do you mean an Erin Andrews type(reporter)?

I watch all Vancouver Whitecaps (MLS) games, and go to some of them, which is awesome.

Overseas it's a little harder to watch, especially since Gol TV (the main soccer channel I have available) hasn't been able to get contracts with the Spanish or French leagues lately. I watch some BPL and Bundesliga, and definitely watch the Champions League.

[007]

Well at least your dad trained you to be disappointed

Soccer, MLS or overseas?

Watched hockey and soccer as a kid, my dad's a huge Leafs fan. Still watch soccer but not as much hockey.

More along the lines of screamers.

I still hate vacuum cleaners to this day though.
