Falcoholic Time Capsule

by da fatchick thrilla on Feb 24, 2009 11:36 PM EST

Just as the Falcons are building up for the future, I've had a thought on future Falcoholic readers. Being here regularly here since only last season, I've learned a lot from the long time fans; to be honest, I saw for the first time what Fulton County stadium looked like here. So, I propose a sort of time capsule so that future readers (maybe 25, 50, perhaps 100 years later) can take a look in it and learn some of our greatest achievements, horrible memories, or just plain crazy stuff that has happened with the team, or the Falcoholic itself. What image, date, event, actual physical object, etc. do you wish to put in?

My contributions: My grandma's Falcons Favre jersey and December 11th, 2007, the day we tuned to Sports Center and saw this.

This FanPost was written by one of The Falcoholic's talented readers. It does not necessarily reflect the views of The Falcoholic.

I'm going to download the .FLV associated with that YouTube video

and then delete it over and over. That pig’s where he belongs: sucking up the SEC West so my Crimson Tide can dominate.

Here's a couple contributions

For the history of The Falcoholic, anyways.

Here’s the very first post I ever wrote, when I was a junior in college, sitting at my desktop with my headphones on while my roommate watched WWE on our 20" television.

And here’s when the re-design came in and I made a tearful announcement about it.

And Vishnu willing, I’ll be around in 100 years, transmitting my thoughts directly from my withered brain and yelling at you kids to get off my asteroid.

Wish I'd been around then. Unfortunately, I was too busy ignoring the internet to write a novel...

Man, a junior in college in 06? Me too!

I just didn’t wind up gradding in 07 like I should have. Pesky things like switching from a BS in IT to a BA in English will do that to you.

At least I’ve got two degrees that are proving to be worthless so far…

I hear you

A lot of my friends are in the same boat. And it was a lonely blog when it first started out. I had one consistent commenter in the first few months, and then he disappeared forever. Wonder what happened to him….

LOL!

I'm sensing a trend

I was junior in college in ’06 as well.

If my mother put on a helmet and shoulder pads and a uniform that wasn't the same as the one I was wearing, I'd run over her if she was in my way. And I love my mother.

Petrino Leaving

Was an early Christmas present.
As for what I’d like to put in the time capsule, probably the one that made me believe we were a good team this year and could be a good team for years to come.

You have to wait until about 5:15. You all know the play.
