You don't have to be a football fan....

We were sitting around the table eating dinner with

friends by 1:30 pm.. on  Sunday...  with the Seahawk

and the Green Bay Packers playing in the background.

None of us are real big football fans.. might say

occasional fans.  No real big favorite team.

But as an Northwest resident, we lean toward

the Seahawk.. but mostly just like a good close

game.

After dinner we started to play a game called

Mexican train. With a few remarks about the

team.  Me, talking about our neighbor's son,

who lives in Colorado, who is a die in the

wool Green Bay Packer fan... and how he must

be in his glory and rubbing it in to his Seahawks

friends... and others who must be greatly

disappointed in their Seahawks going down.

After a few games of the Mexican train, we

were checking again on the score.. had been

16 to 0, last time we check.. thinking maybe

the 3rd quarter..now the ending of the 4th quarter

and remarking like it was as good as over for the

Seahawks, when all of a sudden the Seahawks

made a touch down.

But knowing it was a long way to catching up.

Next time we see the score 19 to 22.. and then

22 to 22 and over time.. AMAZING, as they had

done this in 3 minutes. 

Our game stopped as we watched the game on

the television that just got to be really interesting..

and then it came to an big bang up end..

The announcer yelling THE SEAHAWKS ARE

GOING TO THE SUPER BOWL!!THE SEAHAWKS

ARE GOING TO THE SUPER BOWL!!! THE

SEAHAWKS ARE GOING TO THE SUPER BOWL!!!

Our little  group went from a little amusement at

the game, to wow, they are gaining. Holy cow they

have a chance to ...THEY WON..  and this is

from 4 occasional football watchers and one

"I don't like football and the Super bowl is a

waste of time", guy.   All a sudden my husband

the one who doesn't like football, became a

expert on the game... and how Green Bay

gave it away...  He thought about calling the

neighbors son, to rub it in.. but thought, he

is probably in too much misery to pick on...

So you don't have to be a real football fan

to enjoy a good game.

Now the Patriots and the Colts was a bore,

and we quickly abandon the game, with a

game of 45 to 7.. well, it just didn't measure

up.
