WHO DEY ATL and once again, it's a great week to be Bengals fans!

Last week was one of our best meetups ever, with 25 people in attendance and yet another thrilling finish. Rumor has it that you could hear our celebration on the final TD pass all the way out the door and down to the Cheesecake Factory. This Sunday is our Bengals' shot to extend our lead in the division against the struggling Houston Texans. Could this be the game our offense finally gets vertical, or will it be another heart-stopping 3 point finish? Either way, its going to be FUN!

So we'll meet again at the Hudson Grille Perimeter at Perimeter Mall this Sunday for the 1PM kickoff (I'll get there around noon). We will have the usual upstairs bar area by the big screen and the Bengals banners. Sam has generously volunteered to provide us with yet another Bengal cake so save room for dessert. Also making its first appearance this week will be the 'game ball,' to be signed by the Bengal fan who brings the most intensity to Sunday's gamewatch. Who will be the first to sign? A veteran? A rookie? Certainly Joe would not award it to himself? I guess you'll have to show up Sunday to find out, and bring your A-game. We'll see you then.

WHO DEY!!!

WHO DEY my friends, it's a great week to be a Bengals fan!!!

Please join the Atlanta Bengal faithful for a special BATTLE OF OHIO game watch at Hudson Grille Perimeter on Sunday, October 4, at 1PM. Riding the optimism from last week's statement win, the Bengals are in good position to annihilate the lowly Browns franchise in Cleveland this weekend. This Bengal team is for real, but the brownies always bring a good fight and the Dawg Pound is still crazy so we should have an exciting game on our hands.

As always, we will have our own big screen and game audio, and will most likely have the upstairs bar (normal spot). If you have never been before ask the host or hostess and they will send you our way. Hudson Grille Perimeter is a smoke-free, family friendly restaurant in Perimeter Mall (near 285 and 400 intersection north of town), next to Goldfish Grill and Cheesecake Factory. Special features for this week include a Bengals-themed dessert item, and a sound system (ok my laptop) to play the Bengals fight song each time we score a big touchdown. (Hey it's a long season I have to save my precious vocal cords). It should be a rockin' time so please come out and join us this week as the Bengals make a play for their best start since 2005.

WHO DEY !

WHO DEY everyone and welcome to Week 2 of the Bengals 2009 season! After last week's game, I think our boys in orange and black are due for a little good fortune, and it's going to come at the expense of those cheeseheads from Green Bay.

As always, the meetup will be held at Hudson Grille Perimeter (inside Perimeter Mall next to Goldfish Grill and Cheescake Factory), and I will be there by 12:30. We had an awesome group last week and thanks to all of you who made it out. As a result of our huge attendance last week, we will be watching next week's game from Hudson Grille's 'sky box.' The sky box is the third floor of the Hudson Grille and is generally only opened for special occasions. If you go in the ground floor entrance, make an immediate right and the staircase will be on your left. Or just tell the hostess you are with the Bengals group. As I mentioned to most of you, we will be sharing the sky box with the Packers fans, which should make for a true 'game like' atmosphere, so wear your orange and black (or wear a Farve jersey to get them riled up!) We overpowered the Broncos fans last week, and I expect us to do the same to the Cheeseheads this week. And back by popular demand, the group has already reserved another BENGAL CAKE for the occasion, so save room for dessert.

Guys, I know last week was tough, but this team can still put together a great season. I expect nothing less. WHO DEY and see you all on Sunday.

UPDATE--Sam has volunteered to host the viewing of the first Hard Knocks episode. Her address is 1185 L Davis Place NW, Atlanta, GA, 30318. It's right off 75 just north of the connector. Get off at Howell Mill (exit 251) and go south for a couple of lights. Take a right on Defoors (across from the Ace hardware) and then a left into Davis Place. Call me if you get lost but its pretty easy to find. 404-661-4395. Yes, this is the same kick-ass condo that we had the Christmas party at last year.

WHO DEY everyone, and welcome to the 2009 season, a season that is sure to bring success to our Bengal tigers, perhaps like none we've ever seen before. I've never been more certain of anything in my entire life.

As you probably all know, HBO is featuring the Bengals on its annual 5-episode training camp documentary called HARD KNOCKS. Episodes are airing Wednesday nights at 10 PM, with the first one this showing this Wednesday, August 12.

And for all of you on Facebook please spread the word for me. WHO DEY and we'll see you in a week.

Hey everyone,

Well, we seem to have managed a near worst-case scenario with the AFC championship game. The only less desirable combination would have been Cleveland vs. Pittsburgh... Personally, I hope both teams lose and the NFC championship winner is awarded the super bowl by forfeit. OK I'm rambling. Regardless of who you want to lose more, it should be an entertaining game. No matter what, we will get too see one of our division rivals have their hearts broken. And who better to witness this with then some fellow Bengals fans.

The meetup will start at 6:15 (kickoff is at 6:30). We will be meeting at the Hudson Grille Perimeter (in Perimeter Mall) upstairs bar as usual, however, Bengals gear is not required. If you have any trouble finding us in our 'civilian' clothes, give me a call at 404-661-4395. We figure that we'll be classy NFL fans and go incognito--we don't want to be sore losers. And remember no matter what, either the Ravens or the Steelers will be sent packing. Oh, and Monday is ML King day so I know some of you will not have to work... Shots anyone? Hope to see you all on Sunday. WHO DEY!
