I got Mini Red back early from her Dad’s and we met up with Brotha-Man and SIL and left early for some tailgating. Skins fans are a unique bunch check out these Redskin Monks that were nice enough to pose with Mini Red:
We chatted with the people in line and as we got closer to the front we noticed all sorts of people butting in line. Everyone started yelling at them and one of the butter-inners threatened to call Security. It was getting hostile and the butter-inner started cussing. I pulled Mini Red up so he could see her better and said “HEY! Watch your language! You not only butt in line but now you’re cussing in front of children?”
We got through security and Mini Red asked why I didn’t say anything about the people butting in. I explained there probably wasn’t much they could do about it but I’m a firm believer that what goes around comes around.
When we arrived in our seats the game was in full swing and the Jaguars were leading 3 – 0. We had been sitting for maybe five minutes when The Skins scored. WAHOO! The Jaguars soon came back and scored and were now leading 10-7. By the time the 3rd quarter was nearing the end The Skins had come back and were leading 20-17. The fourth quarter started and The Skins had the ball on the 17 yard line. A touchdown was imminent. They scored and the crowd went wild! Everyone was on their feet cheering.
We left early to miss crazy traffic and we were secure with The Skins lead of 27 -17. The traffic was easy and we drove straight to my parents place. I finally found the radio station playing the game but, evidently, I missed a lot. When I got to my parents I saw The Skins were leading 30 – 27 and the Jaguars had the ball. The Jaguars tied it up which took them to over time but that didn’t last long. Moss caught the pass and took off for a most beautiful touchdown to win the game.
What an exciting game! Thanks Brotha-Man
Left the game to avoid traffic?!! Are you from Los Angeles? I was following the game on the internet while at my office and was thinking of you and how you were getting to see such an exciting game and that the weather had cooperated. Glad you had such a fun time.
ReplyDeleteSUCKER, that will teach youto leave early
ReplyDeleteA tailgating party? Never heard that one - is that when you drink beer from the back of your truck in a parking lot?
ReplyDeleteJeremy: Traffic ended up being light for us. Lots of people were leaving and it wasn't easy since the game was going so well.
ReplyDeleteElvis:Last time I went we left early and traffic was awful.
Y:Don't be such a meany! You were just jealous you couldn't go.
Taunted:There is an organized tailgating party up closer to the stadium. Brotha-Man has a deal where hes buys his tickets for the game with this tailgating thing.
Left the game early 27-17? You are really a die hard redskins fan aren't you? That's why I hate going to the games with my wife, "Let's avoid the traffic" crap! There are only eight games a season, it's not the end of the world to fight the traffic! What a waste of tickets!!

Anon(JP): Wow, you're bitter!
ReplyDeleteIf someone else was driving and Mini Red and I could crash then I would have loved to stay. Mini Red and I were both fading and the last thing anyone needs is to sit in traffic with a tired, whining kid.
We had a great time and couldn't have asked for a better game for Mini Red's first professional game.
My Dad always left early enough to beat the traffic too. I only got to see the 4th quarter and OT, yesterday.
