I was born in 1974......

[bdizzle00]

My bucket list includes many things....but for us born in 1974 isn't that a little bit of a haha on us, Right?

I am looking to hear from Dolphin fans all over who are my age or younger or were not old enough yet to enjoy the great teams.

I would also like to hear from the ones who experienced the thrill of being dominant and winning.

I also would like to hear from the ones who believe we will finally win a Super Bowl in the next three years.

What i hope to hear in this thread is great memories, great hope and maybe stories of what you have personally experienced as a Dolphins fan.

I will start. I was at a training camp with my wife when we had signed Suh and took pictures of Landry and Suh and others. But my greatest Dolphins moment was travelling to Miami to watch the fins beat the Seahawks in 2008, 21-19 where we actually finished first at 11-5 tied with the Patriots in most every way. I went with a good friend who was a Seahawks fan and did not realize in our crazy plan that it was Memorial Day weekend. There were Jets fling over the stadium and great pictures with cheerleaders and such. The best picture was when we stalled them on the final drive having a picture laughing at my friend taken by a fellow Dolphin fanatic. I yelled louder than i had ever done for a longer period of time than I thought possible trying to add to noise.

When I go to my next Dolphins game I truly hope the experience is even greater!!!

Lets hear from all of you true and optimistic....or little less optimistic and / or jaded Dolphin fans! Lets celebrate what we can as a Dolphins community and lifelong fans.

I sat on my grandparents' lap in the Orange Bowl during the 1972 and 1973 seasons. Can't remember any of it. But, I do remember being at the Bears game when the Dolphins beat them when they were undefeated. Doesn't get much better than that.

The Orange Bowl was epic, rickety (bleacher seats), and loud AF.

$5-$10 "no blockie" to park in someone's front yard near the stadium.

1963. My father brought me to a Dolphins game in 72 and we were able to go into the locker room post game. I got to shake Gods hand (Coach Shula) and I have been devout ever since.

You lucky bastard. :)

Dang - you're old:) I have until Aug 15 to turn 50:) I do remember the early Marino years - those were the best for me. That's how I became a Fins fan- watched Marino play against Syracuse - where I'm from - when he was at Pitt - when he was drafted by the Fins I became a fan!

Youngsters! - LOL
I was just getting married when you guys were getting born.

Ray are you really 77?





If you are, I feel the urge to appoigize for all the times I may have trolled you or called you a Lemming. It's elderly abuse and I feel awful for it, I need to be better.

Please forgive me.

Well, that's a start in the right direction. - LOL
By the way, I'll be 78 on this coming April 29th.

Getting old isn't for sissies. (Or "Lemmings") - LOL, LOL

 

[Ray R]

Not quite implying that you're old, but you are quick witted and spry for 78. I never would have guessed that.

Not really.
You're just slow witted and that's what makes me look so sharp. - LOL
Wait a minute, I may need to rephrase that last line. - LOL

 

[Ray R]

You two party animals control yourselves before you bring the world to it's knees.

Hold that thought, I mean position. - LOL
