A pride for a team is hard to describe, especially to those who are not as passionate about football like myself. As most of my friends know, It was a challenge to watch the game tonight. The night began with Comcast not working. I walked into Sa’s apartment frantically after Mike and Rich had called me saying that there was no cable on campus. My first thought was that the campus cable had some issues, but when I turned on our TV and it wasn’t working I was beginning to get nervous. Sa commented with no hesitation, “Well, there is always the radio.” I really couldn’t respond without getting frustrated because the radio and television do not relate whatsoever. However, I did understand her alternative choice. Eventually the cable kicked in and we were able to see Jordan Sparks perform the National Anthem, which was unbelievable. At such a young age, a performer like herself has a future  

From my perspective neither team played outstanding. There were good plays here and there, but nothing amazing. The Patriots loss is dwelling on me, but soon it will be time to move on. It is important to remember that the Patriots have the most touchdowns and points in history. Someone made a remark to me, ” Your team is a failure,” and I will never see that statement as a true statement. Brady commented, “Tonight doesn’t take away from anything we have done over the course of the season,” and that is true.

I really thought the need to share this YouTube video. As most of you know I am an avid Patriots fan and I am really looking forward to the Super Bowl XXXXII in Arizona against the NY Giants. It is interesting to see the take that the media is engaging and broadcasting in regards to the potential injury that Brady may have. His possible absence at practice and walking around town in a boot is creating more buzz to the media than to the Giants.

The Giants see this as a scandal to deceive them of the what to expect on February 3^rd. I have no doubts in my mind that Brady will be playing in the Super Bowl, and his performance will not be encumbered. Brady is ranked as the #1 Quarterback in the NFL and maybe even HISTORY. No one “always” has a perfect game, but Brady for sure is a unique gem to the New England Patriots. Together as a team I hope to see them accomplish a 19-0 record. 

After putting on my baseball pants and walking around for no more than 5 minutes I realized I could not do it. They were TIGHT as possible. After debating on what to wear I gave up and went with casual jeans and a t-shirt.

I think you would have advised the same if you saw me in the baseball pants. I really wanted to sport the Red Sox Jersey, but the pants weren’t doing it…

It was no surprise to see Mike Lowell get MVP. Lynette’s brother Papu picked me all the way off the ground. I could practically touch the ceiling. Everyone was so excited. My friends and family from home were calling my cell phone left and right. They knew how much this meant to me. Not to mention the Patriots kick the Redskins 52-7.

My heart is pounding faster than ever. I just got yelled at by another RA, Lynette, after I ran down the hallway ecstatic over the Red Sox victory in game 7. Her exact words, “You are not exactly helping the situation.” I did feel bad for a moment, but I truly the levels of adrenaline rush that each of my residents’ were facing. Red Sox came back from a 3-1 count to win the series against the Cleveland Indians. People were going crazy. The screaming, the body crashing, the spirit, the energy, and the enthusiasm for the Red Sox victory was unbelievable. I will apologize to Lynette in the morning. I spoke to my residents to quiet down as they exhaust their energy…I don’t think I can truly explain to you the feeling I have right now for this experience. It’s indescribable.

Patriots up 14-0 and the Dolphins think they have a chance at coming back. Dolphins score a touch down to make it 14-7. The few DolFANS that were in the crowds went wild only to be disappointed to see a kick off return from the Patriots to make the score 21-7.

The entire stadium was full of New England fans, about 80%. The blue and white colors were prominent throughout the stadium with minimal orange. Right when I got there I ended up getting a Papa John’s pizza. As I set it on the counter eating my second slice, the wind took it away and landed it on the ground. I was so hungry, but lucking Alyssa and Hattie had gotten Nachos.

I used to work for Dolphin Stadium last year as a Guest Services Representative. Brandon and Cynthia still worked there so I walked around the stadium to find them. Brady and Moss were playing an unbelievable game. I was beginning to loose my voice from screaming.

The Patriots and Red Sox mean so much to me. Growing up in Massachusetts my entire life, it has been a tradition. Going to Fenway Park and Gillette Stadium brings a feeling of true fans, high morale, and tailgating. It is an experience like no other.

The score at the end of the game really showed how well the Patriots play, 49-28. I won a $10 bet, but the suspense was not over…Red Sox get ready for game 7 tonight at Fenway Park…this game makes me more nervous than other…we will see what happens…

RED SOX STAY IN THE PLAYOFFS (WIN 7-1)!!!

ANYONE WANT IHOP? It’s 4:30 in the morning and I’m hungry. I dunno, I’m just really craving IHop pancakes. It has been forever since I have been there. They are one of the only restaurants that serve Harvest Grain ’N Nut Pancakes. Every time I have wanted to go to IHop my friends usually say it’s too late or they just ordered food. Taryn, Karina, and I are going to get some food….I might blog when I get back, but I think it may be time to go to sleep.

Tension within the residence halls and among students at school is high. I am praying so hard for my team…they can do it!
