Monday Morning Football
i can’t believe I got up at 6:40 AM to watch the game but THE UPSET WAS COMPLETELY WORTH IT YOU STINKIN CHEATIN PATRIOTS
It was neat to see the base again. The only thing that sucks about watching it there is that they don’t broadcast the commercials.
Anyhow the Yongsan army base is its own isolated American bubble in the middle of Seoul, with its own high school, middle and elementary schools. It completely felt like being in the US; Asians were in the minority and the food was all American fare. For the first half of the game I went to the Main Post (which caters mostly to the army) with Patton, Ruth, Charles and John. It was amusing to see everyone help themselves to beer 8 in the morning. I helped myself to some wings and nachos. I guess as an additional boost to morale, the St Louis Rams cheerleaders were there; i didn’t know they get to make their rounds to US army bases around the world. It makes me wonder what the career path of a cheerleader is after 30…
At the army base:
For the second half, we went over to the Navy post which was much better. (and there was no little girl screaming for the Patriots for every down for every little thing) The facilities and food were better. I helped myself to some scrambled eggs and waffles and it was nice to see splenda for coffee.
Navy base:
Of course the game was more exciting second half too. Mostly everyone was a Giants fan although there were some sporting Patriot jerseys. I couldn’t believe the Giants came back with just two minutes and 40 seconds. It was a really good game for both teams but the Giants delivered today. It was definitely a comeback worth waking up to. (How’s that for an in-depth, technical, postgame analysis?)
Hmm. Interesting. Being a Cowboy fan I thought the only thing to satisfy me would be if somehow both teams could lose.
I didn’t even watch most of the game. I eventually looked at the score online and saw the Giants were actually winning. I turned it on just in time to see Brady drive down and score a touchdown. I figured it was over from there. However, to see the Patriots lose in such a heart breaking manner was satisfying. So I guess I would have been happy either way.
The commercials are all online. If you go to yahoo.com they have them all there. Interesting way to watch the game. So are you living or going to school in Korea now? Well take care. God Bless.
