I Need A Head Count For The 2010 NFL Draft Party In SF on 4-22:

by Raymond St. Martin (Saint) on Apr 14, 2010 11:05 AM PDT

We will be gathering at the new Public House in San Francisco (The Sports Bar at AT&T Park) on Thursday April 22nd for the First Round of the NFL Draft. This is set in stone.

My plan is to create a big board for the first three rounds, roughly the top 100 players that we would like on our team. This came in handy last year when Phil Loadholt was still available in the third round, although the Raiders passed on him, he was screaming to be picked.

Those in attendance may witness my hands in my head or Blanda's shrieks of joy or disgust depending upon who is selected.

Let's gather at 3-3:30. I am working on getting some drink and food specials and I need to know how many of you can make it out.

Please RSVP to this thread or e-mail me personally at raymondstmartin@gmail.com to confirm your attendance.

I am also checking with Ricky about being at his place on Friday or Saturday and then at Britania Arms in San Jose on the other day.

This should be one heckuva pub crawl!?!?!

And oh yeah, isn't it nice to have Brandon Marshall out of the AFC West!!! ALthough we will still see him, and on a better team once this year, when the Dolphins visit!?!

Cheers,

Saint

I will most definately

not be there. Dammit, looks like a blast. Virginia to San Francisco is a helluva trip.

Same with me from East coast Canada but I'd love to be surrounded by the Raider nation

I’m all alone over here…no Raiders fans for miles…or as we say here kilometers.

I tried hard to swing it, but it turns out I'll be on a plane to Vegas from 3-3:30

I’ll be there in spirit, though! If we all meditate hard enough on those key positions, our collective wishful thinking will make the dream a reality!

Who am I kidding? At least you’ll be there to console one another.

Seriously though, I’m remaining positive, and if I can just get through Thursday without doing anything rash… the weekend will be looking great!

I wonder what the line will be on Haden in the first Wednesday night? 1:2? You can bet on anything, huh?

I guess that leaves me

and I have no interest in hanging out waiting for another stupid first round pick from undead Al. I’ll eat crow if Al drafts an OT. He has failed to do anything notable on the OL since Lincoln Kennedy and the last decent OT he drafted was Matt Stinchcomb in ’99.

Stinchomb was a waste of a pick. Kennedy wasn't drafted by the Raiders.

Henderson was a third rounder and it is hard to not consider him a good 3rd round pick at this point.

Had a great time last year!!!!!

We’ll be there again this year…so count 2 for us Saint ,especially if it’s in SF…we live real close to AT&T park so that will work out great! Great idea having it in different places to get to know other raider fans all over.

As you remember i was there with my girl at last yrs draft site in Oakland and you asked me who i wanted us to draft, if you recall (and i wonder if you have that on video)
I replied , Anybody as long as it wasnt who?. . .Yup thats right, thats what i said, As Long As It Wasnt . . . DHB i would be happy . . . ~x( !

anyways . . . i will keep my mouth shut this year and we will see you there.

Fantastic!!! I lost the phone that I recorded it on...Per usual!!!

This year should be a blast. I will have a post up tomorrow so that we can start building our Big Board and I will have them all written up and on a board that will travel from city to city.
