Some don't get it.
WE'RE NOT FOR THEM.
It's More Than a Game.It's in Our Blood.
The Air We Breathe
To the outsider, sports fandom can seem excessive. Unnecessary. Maybe even a little unhealthy.
Maybe it is.
But for those of us raised in the tradition, who were baptized in generational rivalries, shared hopes, crushed dreams, irrational superstitions, and everything in-between. For roughly four months, it's the air we breathe, and the subject of most of our prayers.
So begins the seven day cycle of life for college football fans. Each week is filled with promise...
Born From Hate Week
The Tail Gater® was born out of a deep-seated, hate-filled rivalry, that spans generations.
I have to give credit where it's due: without that deep, mutual, hatred, The Tail Gater® would never have been invented. And, Sports Furnatic® would not exist.
During the period I lived in that city, we dominated them. I used to point out that an entire generation of graduates had only known defeat and feel our mascot's foot on their necks. A truly glorious feeling!
Both sides want to see the other destroyed and to never to make the playoffs. The 'old' guys are the worst - we love seeing the look of defeat in the eyes of the other fans.
The Sports Furnatic® mission is to help keep these wonderful traditions alive. The Tail Gater® and the Season BAG Holder subscription are our first contributions to the cause.
Our Pack in Las Vegas
Today, I run Sports Furnatic® from Las Vegas with my dogs, Ellis and Nyx. They take their roles as Chief Product Testers very seriously, ensuring our products are ready for game day.
Both Ellis and Nyx are rescue dogs from Las Vegas and both agreed to take no salary as long as I continue to donate to their favorite animal charities - Animal Help Alliance, Nevada SPCA, and SPCA .
As the President of Sports Furnatic®, I am a fan of ALL football teams (five days a week). It is only on Saturday's that I take off the corporate hat, dust off the fan gear and transform into one of the many fans screaming at the TV!
This handsome fella is Ellis (aka Jealous Ellis).
This is Nyx, the newest member of the home team.
Don't let her laid back attitude fool you - 72lbs of pure muscle that runs like Jerome Bettis. You don't want to be in the way when she gets moving!
Sadly, Cindy, the 'Chairwoman of the Board' passed away a little over a year ago. She set the standard for all that come after.
Thank you for taking a look at our site.
