It's cool, you're a Raiders fan, we know you haven't had a chance to party too hard in a long time.
I live in Boston and we used it as an excuse to party hard simply because it's a New England team. This city, and colleges like UConn, are hotbeds of passionate sports fans. You could make an argument for everything being pointless you fucking debbie downers, but you might as well enjoy the ride (which, I think, IS the point of the life)
