Are *you* ready for some football?

If you've been following along I had a bad weekend. I worked approximately 14 high stress hours and broke many things. During all this time I had but one thing to keep me going forward: Monday Night Football. My sister's boyfriend gets a lot of great comp tickets to various events through work, and he got a couple of comp tickets to see the Indianapolis Colts take on the Jacksonville Jaguars. He couldn't make it because of some work function, and when I heard that I offered to take one for the team and come on down to see the game. I had been looking forward to this game ever since I heard about it. Sis just moved to Jacksonville with her beau and I've been keen to see their new place. Also, I've never seen a Monday night football game. Something changes when the crowd knows they are at the only game in the nation at that hour of that week. The energy gets cranked way up. Every town brings it to Monday Night Football.

Jacksonville was no exception. Every Jag home game has been blacked out due to lagging ticket sales. Now, I think black outs are a terrible way to get meat in the seats as it were. If the locals don't get to see their team on TV how are they expected to want to buy a ticket? In any case, the Monday night game was sold out. Sis, Beau, the co-worker and I arrived to a full house crackling with electricity. It was insanity! For the most part the Jacksonville fans were alright. There were some isolated almost altercations and some frustrated idiot threw a styrofoam stick at me after the Colts scored a touchdown. Whatever. I just let the scoreboard do the talking.

Our seats were exceptional. We sat at the end zone in the belly of the enemy. Sis and I sat apart from the group forming a small island of five Colts fans donning blue jerseys. And I had the faux hawk done up in cheap blue hair paint. It didn't look so great, but it got the message across. We slapped fives every time a touch down was scored, after every sack, and pretty much most first downs. It was great. There was a lot of booing from the crowd, but overall they weren't so bad. Well apart from the styrofoam tosser

I'm going to keep this short. I had a blast at the game. It was great to see Sis in Jacksonville. The game was great. I loved watching the Colts drive the ball through the end zone. It was fab staring Manning in the face as he was looking for a receiver.
