I'd also like to modify the stakes of this bet, since I'm now so confident that we'll win... the loser to send cookies decorated in the colors of the winning team! I think it was implied in the bet, but perhaps not!
We've had incredibly bad luck with our other sports teams, so it's refreshing to have the Seahawks do so well. So many people who don't usually pay attention to football are excited about this. Yesterday, I was driving home from a rehearsal about 5pm, and there was a huge rally on Bothell Way (about as far from downtown as you can get). Tons of people dressed in Seahawks gear, walking down this very busy road, yelling and screaming. WAY fun.
Yeah, my screaming hat didn't get a lot of use, did it?
*Hangs head*
Am SO glad we had this bet, because after that terrible terrible showing, I was so glad to at least have some cookie-designing to fill me back up with pleasure on our way home!!!
Just wait. These are going to be The. Most. Awesome. Cookies. Ever!
I wouldn't call myself a fan, so it didn't bother me too much, but I really thought Denver had a good team this year and I was so looking forward to watching my fanatic friends jump all over the place as the game waxed and waned for us. But that first half especially all I watched them do was groan and slump. That was pretty tough, when I was looking to take a ride on some excitement. Even the few points the Broncos got were more of a "phew, so they're not going to go out with the added shame of not scoring" than even an exciting moment.
We were invited to a party, but opted to stay home instead. Afterwards, we talked about how it would have been fun to be in a group to share the win, but maybe better not to be in a group if there was a loss...
Yeah we left before the game was even done. Mostly because we were worried about depressed drunken drivers on our way home. And because there was nothing else to watch by the fourth quarter.
