Chapter 13: Super Bowl Sunday

Well, after going out and shooting the darts with the gang last night we got up and scarfed some breakfast down before heading over to Wal-Mart. I needed to grab some contacts and we also needed to stock up for the game. We gathered a fair assortment of snacks and what not then stood in line for what seemed like ages. When in line Andrew, one of the Americorps guys and I advocated the cold soda from the fridge at the checkout seeing as how we only had warm soda in our cart. We won a few converts then went home to rig up the sweetest Super Bowl setup I've ever witnessed.

Using the small existing sheet which was folded in half, we cleared the wall of banners and began our quest for superior Superbowldom. Matt has a thing called Slingbox on his computer which lets him tap into his own cable box at home in Minneapolis, so we rigged that into a projector and gave birth to a really rockin' show. The Mississippi State boys cooked up some Rotel dip and we made up some pizzas to add to our goodies from Wal-Mart.

The Super Bowl itself was a bit sloppy, but I was happy to see Peyton Manning pull it out. Congrats must go out to Malea, who has been a staunch supporter of her Indianapolis Colts ever since I've known her. Anyhoo, I'll toss a couple of pictures on, especially the half-time show with (REPRESENT!) Prince kicking it with his hits and even covering a little Foo Fighters while he was at it.
