Little Pink Raiders????

Yesterday was Sunday and I was on the Oakland Raider's Express. We'll, not really, it was a BART train, but there were so many people dressed in Black and Silver heading out to the Raider's game from Pleasanton/Dublin. There was even one guy bringing on board two 12packs of beer. Of course he was the only guy wearing shorts. Everyone else was bundled up in black Raider team jackets and sweatshirts - after all, this is a mid November Sunday in California...we could all catch frostbite in 60 degree weather.

What's really cute are the faces of the children decked out in their finest Raider's gear. One little girl stands out in her pink and white Raider's jersey. She's a far cry from the Raider fan's they show close up at the game on TV wearing their spikes and black and silver Raider war paint.

After closing the doors at the first station only a handful of seats remain. It became a very interesting and noisy ride the closer we approached Oakland!
