Welp, game 1 is in the books, and thanks to the ghost of Bobby Layne it's a W for the Roar.

In this episode:

--We share our game watching experiences

--Uncle Brother shares a bed with a fellow roaraholic

--Deano, having survived the Ford Field frenzy, looks like crap and is barely conscious

--We marvel at how cool it is to have a smash mouth running attack, especially late in games

--We also marvel at Matty Staff, who looked better than ever and could not be stopped

--We wonder what the hell was going on with Sun God and Laporta, who did virtually nothing the entire game

--We applaud Jared's epic, 7-yard scamper for a crucial 1st down

--We love DC more than ever, after his impassioned halftime interview

--We are fucking pumped about the Jamo outburst!

--We're exhausted and wonder if we'll be able to hold up physically and mentally for the entire season.

--We end, as always, with a melodious 3-part harmonized Roar ... With Deano starting out in the deep end! Uncle Brother following with a note high enough in the register to force Lomas to go falsetto.

In short: It wasn't pretty, but it's a W, and we'll gladly take it.

Until next time,

Roar.
