Birth Of The Ryder Rally Rip

Let me start by saying this is my first blog ever in life. So treat her kindly you heathens.
Figure I’d just go ahead and recap my little viral moment (yes self congratulating back tap) where I single handedly saved the Commanders season from the Bears by breaking the law and taking a pull from my vape pen inside the stadium.
For starters let’s define what a “rip” is. A rip or ripping is a term used in the chat when someone is smoking on that good gas. That loud. That rapper weed. It’s a term to encourage community in the vast vast depths of the never ending chat. Shoutout to the chat.
In Feb of 2024 I gave up drinking for good and this Fall was my first season of football without the luxury of having a cold blue Rocky Mountain Coors on the weekends since junior year of high school. I hate being sober but I hate being drunk and out of control so, weed. Weed is perfect, weed is awesome and weed it would be.
At this point in the year I’ve been doing a boot on the ground series following Holy Cross’s FCS football team called #RyderReports. During my series it was evident that all fans had one thing in common. A rally move. A move that gets the fan group around you excited for the game. A move that gives you hope that the next play will be better. Most times it’s a guy chugging a $4 beer and letting go a hefty belch that incites folks to run through a wall for whatever reason. Or maybe it’s slamming a person through a table shoutout to Bills mafia. But me being a sober softy disqualifies me from that method. It wasn’t until like game 8 of the season that it hit me. The Rally kit.
I put together the rally kit with the big hitter being the rally pen. This was my first time ever doing such a thing so testing it against Harvard was new waters. It almost worked as you can see but unfortunately the Crusaders lost this game and the rally rip was put on ice.
It wasn’t until a few weeks later that I found myself in the perfect situation. Down like 4,5,6 idk we was down like shit and there was two minutes left. Looking around the stadium people started leaving. I felt some type of way. As a Ryder I live for war, I live for battle and when the times get tough that’s when you lock in the most. When I found myself back in a rally moment, the only thing I could think of to help my team was to pull out my trusty pen. This is my Thor hammer and essentially my last ditch effort to propel the Commanders to victory.
My ass was so high I deadass could not believe what I had just witness. Jayden Daniels hurled up a miracle bomb to the end zone nearest me, madness ensues and the Ryder Rally Rip was born.
Still can’t believe the power of this move. It’s insane and even has backfired on me. Editor and Chief Sandos used the move on me two weeks later when Steelers came to town and we lost by 1. Sucks to lose but it’s awesome to know my baby is working!!!
The rules to the Ryder Rally Rip are as followed:
HAS to be in the LAST two minutes of the game
Team should be down/behind in the score
Best results are if the rally rip is performed in public
Best BEST results are inside stadium especially if stadium of opposing team
