Raiders Fan Since When?

Hello Raider Nation... I recently had a little fit after watching the Raiders' last game against San Francisco and came on this board with a negative attitude. During this time, two different people told me I wasn't a Raider fan. One even called me a "mole sent to disrupt the Raider Nation." LMAO. So this got me thinking about how long I've been a fan and why. I'll relate this to you and would love to hear from anyone else who wants to tell their story about joining the Raider Nation. I started playing football in 1977 as a ninth grader. At the time I liked Earl Campbell's Houston Oilers. Consequently, I hated the Steelers. The Raiders and the Steelers were huge rivals. So I've always liked the Raiders, though it took a few years before they became my team and passion.   During the next few years it was unclear as to who my favorite team was. I had several. One thing that became abundantly clear was that I HATED the Dallas Cowboys.&nb...
