OK... I think that I have come up with a GRAND idea here!!! I am willing to offer a pair of tickets to the FINS/STEELERS game, free of charge, to a veteran of the military... active or retired... All you have to do is tell your story. The final day for submission of your story is 1 week from today. The story, hopefully being true, will be entered into a pool for judgement... All will be recorded in a word document that will be later passed out to the judges... The individual that submits, based on the judges, the most moving story/best story, will win a pair of tickets to the FINS/Steelers game!!!

Don't think that hearbreakers are going to win!!! The most genuine story, and heart felt story, has the best chance!!! You want to win? Be truthful and sincere!!!

I am also requesting a panel of 5 judges, including myself since I am a vet, to judge this event... If you submit a story, you can not be a judge... The judges have to be at least 25 years old... If you have to ask why on the age, you need not apply... I want individuals that have an unbiased mind and will be fair in evaluating submissions to this contest... If you want to be a judge, PM ME!!! I currently have 4 open spots!!!

Well good luck to you all!!!
 
this is going to be an interesting thread-i hope there are no liars-they will surely bring a curse on themselves if they do so!
 
to bad i cant make the game, not that i would have a chance to compete over anyone that has been in the thick of the war. I'm currently on active duty and it is always hard to watch, let alone go to games. I do have tickets to the bears game :)....... adewale ogunleye is on the tickets, jerks. :)
 
Sgt Airborne!!! what do you mean by tell your story? You want deployment stories? What lead us to serve? You know some of us are by the numbers and you have to go a bit slow with us. LOL J/K just the 11 series.

Well by the numbers then... Let's do the following...

Since there are quite a few that never really seen any conflict, I do not want to leave them out. So for starters, we will break in down into 2 different categories...

1) Worst day in boot camp
2) Best day as a soldier... i.e. where you sacrificed and it benefited a fellow soldier or human being...

These have to be true stories guys and gals!!! We are smart enough to know what is real and isn't!

Good luck to you all! I will end this competition on Friday the 18th of August... Please have your stories in by Wednesday the 16th, no later than 0900!!!

If we can't get enough to participate, I will open it up to the forum to decide what to do with the pair of tickets... Your idea is a good one though... I will write it down...

Now when I say enough... I am thinking of at least 10 vets... Also, they need to include their duty station, MOS, rank and their length of service...
 
Hey I'm sorry I couldn't come out tonight, I had a crazy day today and just got home.
 
Here's What You Should Do With The Tickets.

You should let me have the tickets for all or any one or combination of the following reasons.

1) In the 94 season I slept outside of three rivers stadium to get playoff tickets for my uncle(he's a steelers fan). I was 17. He took me to the playoff game vs. the browns and promised me a ticket for the AFC title game if the phins made it. The phins were hosed by the chargers the following day after the steelers beat the browns.

2) The two times I got to go to a game when Marino played he didnt throw a TD pass. In 93 my mom bought me tickets to a game in miami vs the pats. I got to see Steve Deburg because Dan tore his achillies. The other time I bought tickets to see us play the ravens in baltimore and Jimmy Johnson had Abdul Jabbar carry it for 3 tds. Frustrating. I did have field seats for Dan going into the hall last year though.

3) I had to live in Morgantown in 95 when the steelers went to the super bowl and got so sick of hearing about the steelers that I hate them almost as much as the Jets. Still live in more or less Steeler country here.

4) If being a vet counts my dad served in Vietnam then worked in a coal mine for 23 years before getting killed by a coal truck when i was 20.

5) And most importantly I live close enough, can go to the game and I WILL BUY THE TICKETS.
 
Did you already due your raffle. I didnt have the money at the time but id be willing to buy a chance now or even buy the tickets. I live about 10 min walk to the stadium. I want to go so bad but its tough being a poor college student
 
I also have this idea of standing downtown with dolphins memorabila on announcing my predictions for the standings in the nfl for sept 8.
dolphins 1-0
steelers 0-1

i love P****** off steelers fans and would videotape it and post it if i got those tickets
