Today, January 14, 2011 is Purple Friday in Baltimore and it is the culmination of Purple Week for a number of my friends through twitter.
My hope & wish is to exhaust my purple clothes because I have to wear them every day for the next three weeks before the Superbowl!
So, GO RAVENS!

) to last through Festivus Maximus!

Happy Purple Week!
Today is Wednesday, so we are on Day 3.
Luckily I have my Ravens fleece in addition to my heavy coat because I am going to be shoveling out two of my listings that have showings today.
GO RAVENS!

Day two of purple week, where a few of my friends from twitter & I decided to show support for our Baltimore Ravens all week by wearing purple each day.
Not only am I wearing purple, I wore a Ravens fleece, and also got my playoff decal today to put on my car — though until after the snow, it is going inside the car.
GO RAVENS!
Here is Purple Week Day 1.

With the Baltimore Ravens taking on the Pittsburgh Steelers in PA this Saturday after a huge win in Kansas City yesterday, a few of us were chatting on twitter about how this week should be ALL purple.
I’m wearing my purple to support the Ravens all week. Will you? Join in to support our boys on their Festivus run!
This is for you, @katekatebear, @sarah21210, @janineculotta & @SushGirl!

Baltimore Ravens Incredible Playoff Game Win, Head to Indianapolis Next Week

The Baltimore Ravens beat the Patriots 33-14 in an incredible win, making Baltimore PROUD!
From the first seconds when Ray Rice ran 83 yards to score a touchdown on the first drive to the amazing defensive plays forcing turnovers, the Ravens were there to WIN.
It feels like 2001 all over again, and that is GREAT.
The underdogs that no one expected to win, a wildcard into the playoffs, the misfit team that you wonder what they can do.
And that’s just how the Baltimore Ravens like it.
Going into Indianapolis to play the Colts as the clear underdogs, against a nearly perfect 2009 team, a team we have not beaten since 2002, the odds are stacked against us. And that is where the excitement comes alive for our players and our city.
Expect Baltimore to be purpled-up as we get together behind our Ravens and support their playoff run.
Times like these are the ones that show just how exciting, fun, and wonderful it is to live in Baltimore!
GO RAVENS!
Baltimore Paints the Town Purple to Support Our Ravens’ Playoff Run

The City of Baltimore knows how to show its’ pride in the hometeam of the Baltimore Ravens. 
Yesterday morning, outside of City Hall and on Federal Hill, the Ravens groundcrew painted the logo on the grass to show our city’s support. WJZ has video of them stenciling the logo. If you live in Federal Hill, make sure to check it out — and if you don’t, make a trip to see it!
Baltimore Ravens official blogger, Mike Duffy, reported that Governor O’Malley visited the team at practice today and cheered them on, putting the whole state’s support behind them. (O’Malley’s website has been Ravenized as well!)
This is such an exciting time in Baltimore with our Ravens in the playoffs. Friday is officially Purple Friday here in Baltimore, and we are all ready to celebrate and cheer on our team!
GO RAVENS!

Baltimore Ravens Playoff Bound and Heading to New England

Congratulations to our hometown team, the Baltimore Ravens! 
It has been a rough season — many more losses than expected, losses that should not have happened — so many penalties, mistakes, missed plays.
But we made it.
Now we have to get our heads in the game, just like we did in 2001 when we won the Superbowl.
No one expected it then.
No one expects it now.
Our players have not seemed themselves this season, and I have been trying to figure out why. The big question is, can they get back to their greatness for the playoffs?
How do they return to greatness? Practice is always important, but mindset is huge. How can they return to the mindset of “WE WILL WIN!”?
This week will be a purple week all around Baltimore. Let’s help our boys get their heads in the winning mode — and take New England by storm!
GO RAVENS!
Baltimore Ravens Still in Playoff Hunt After Mistake Ridden Loss Against Steelers
December 27, 2009 by Marney Kirk

According to the Baltimore Sun, a confirmation came from the NFL that if the Baltimore Ravens win next week against the Oakland Raiders, they will be in the playoffs.
Now, if the team plays like they did today, that won’t happen.
This game was painful to watch. Mistake after mistake, penalty after penalty, this did not look like a playoff caliber team.
The Ravens should have won this game. They gave away +/- 18 points by touchdowns and scores being recalled due to penalties.
It is very exciting that the Ravens can possibly still make the playoffs and that it is in their own hands whether they do it.
So come on, boys, make Baltimore proud and PLAY LIKE A RAVEN AND WIN NEXT SUNDAY!
