Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum.

Had a flashback reading this article about McAfee's naming rights expiring. When was 8 or so, I made my first trip to the coliseum to see an A's game. The raiders were not playing in Oakland at that time, having moved to Los Angeles, leaving me without a favorite football team. Here's what I remember: the game was against Cleveland. The Indians were up 2-1 in the bottom of the ninth when Rickey Henderson came up with a man on. He hit a walk-off bomb. He remains the greatest baseball player I've ever seen play in person.

Anyway, who should they sell the rights to? What company would appropriate right now?

How about Clorox Coliseum? They're based in Oakland, and after watching the Denver game I wanted to take a bath in bleach.

Taser Coliseum, since their products were used so effectively by OPD and Alameda Sherriffs pacifying the brawls during that same Monday Night Game?

The Law Offices of Mayor Joseph L. Alioto Coliseum? Al's lawyer. This should be the de facto name anyway, given the history of litigation since the Raiders came back.

Jerry Mac: Must Win for Kiffin.

Jerry lays out the case for Kiffin to win, and quick, or be fired. The detail about Monday's debacle taking place in front of the new investors is interesting. Check out this article from the East Bay Express on the future of the Coliseum. It names Troy Aikman as one of these silent investors. It also says the Raiders are stuck in this area, because as poorly as they've drawn at the gate, the Oakland Raiders is strong. Even Ignacio is Playing ball at this point.

Live from the House

I just got a text message from Dan letting me know they "have an awesome spot at the tailgate."

I'm meeting the Professor on the Train so we can ride over together in about an hour.

Stay tuned for live blogging from the parking lot and inside the stadium with pictures from my iPhone.

Big Day

As I said earlier, I will be in the House today when the Raiders play the Donkeys. As Jerry McDonald wrote yesterday, we just might see JaMarcus. I really, really hope so.

Dan is in Wisconsin, at his childhood home, preparing to represent next Sunday at Lambeau. If he's able to catch the game today I know he'll be doing the in-game updates that both readers of CLOAK OF IMMORTALITY have come to depend on.

I'll be back with a big post including pictures of the tailgating from the Coliseum parking lot.

Get ready for a Donkey Show, because Denver's about to get abused.
