Ok -- I promise -- nofootball when I get up "tomorrow" (Tuesday)! All "girlie stuff" all the time the rest of the week...but a quick wrap-up from tonight (Monday) since it's still "Monday night" to me...
A last-second hail-mary by Miami wiped out the Bucs last-minute fourth quarter score. The Bucs finally scored again to go ahead 14-10 (with about a minute left), and that looked like it would clinch the game for us, but alas Tampa Bay lost 17-14. I really hate the fish. Thank goodness the pre-season means nothing. We didn't see Josh Heupel at all tonight, suited up, on the sidelines, or otherwise. We're really starting to think (and hope) the Chicago-trade rumors are true but haven't found more online yet. It just goes against everything I was raised with to cheer on Miami -- but I bit my tongue knowing Josh would be playing there.
As for the Bucs...Brad Johnson looked just awful. I wish I could make that many million to fall on my arse three times. I got to see my own personal hero John Lynch (#47 Safety) from 3-feet away. Our gate was right by the player's entrance. And Todd must have been looking at a stadium concert schedule, because our seats were AWESOME! We ended up between the 10-yard line and endzone right over the tunnel the Bucs entered and exited from -- about 9 rows up from the field. We got so many up-close-and-personal shots -- I can't wait to see if they turned out. When Lynch went by before we went inside, I seriously had a deer in the headlights moment. I was too stunned he was there in front of me to even ask for an autograph (d'oh!) -- but I did get a photo of him, and he stopped to *smile* just for little ol' me. (Which brought out an "awwww yeahhh..." from Todd. LOL!) Happy early 29th birthday Todd -- glad we got to go tonight!
I'll catch everyone on the flip-side -- and thanks so much for stopping by! I about passed out when I checked my counter-stats this evening!
