I'm a San Diego native who got tired of perfect weather and moved across the country. My fandom is supported by #1 and #3 SD sports dogs, Panda and Ruby. Having been crushed by the '94 Super Bowl, '98 World Series, and all possibilities of witnessing a San Diego championship, I'm skeptical of any and all promising seasons. Of course I'm still a Chargers fan.
