1.) Yet another night game ... so yet another post about the game that actually goes up on the blog the day after, 'cause too old ... too late at night ... etc. etc.
2.) This game was *almost* seen at the FTL bar that broadcasts all the PA sports, except that arriving 45 minutes early wasn't early enough to secure a seat.
3.) So we found the next best thing -- a sports bar on the Drive in Wilton Manors, and we talked them into putting it on one of their TVs instead.
4.) Did I mention it was a "friendly" bar? Our white-out-shirts got us photographed for guys who wanted to send a pic to their sisters who were Penn State fans ...
5.) And one overzealous (or maybe over-served) customer got his pic taken by the Penn State flag ... which he then accidentally ripped down ... which the workers promptly rehung.
6.) See what I did there? I'm at the sixth nugget and I've yet to reference that heartbreaking score.
7.) Although I will say that you would think a #4 team would be able to beat an opponent by more than just a single point at what was practically the end of the game.
8.) Normally by this point I'd be making fun of the announcerpeople -- but the game we watched in the friendly sports bar was playing music and so the best we could settle for was some closed-captioning.
9.) I don't care what anyone else says. *My* player of the week is going to *have* to be Juwan JOHNSON for that one handed catch that put us all in such a good mood for the majority of (just not the end of) the game.
In closing, thanks to the record breaking 110,889 in attendance (it would have been 110,891 except for how the two of us were in our friendly sports bar on the drive) ... and here's to a week of rest (our blessed bye week) to put this behind us as we face the remainder of our season -- and to let me go watch the release of 'Venon' next week instead.
