My colleagues Jill Rosen (of Unleashed fame) and Joe Burris (of Charm City Moms fame) are working on a story about folks who are preparing in some interesting way for football season to start up again in Baltimore.

We were sure there's probably a young fan -- or two -- out there who's going to the game for the first time, or who has dyed his hair purple in honor of the Ravens, or done something else to express his or her great excitement.

If so, Jill and Joe would love to hear about it and possibly interview this fan and his proud parents. You can e-mail them at jill.rosen@baltsun.com or joseph.burris@baltsun.com.
