Another football night

Tonight is Panthers night. In this side of the planet where I am, when Panthers have a game we set aside everythign else to watch our hometown guys.

My husband is working so that makes Barney and me alone together watching football. My neighbors Tabitha, Toby and their boys are all ready for this event. My co-worker has also invited me to watch it with them but I'm not gonna drive 30 miles just to watch football it's just insane lol!. Another, Kevin won this weeks Permanent Seat License ticket our office got, which I was hoping to win. With 10 pre-season PSL tickets , Kevin our IT Mngr won a whopping 5 tickets while Linda got 3 and I got 2. For Post- regular season, can you believe that Kevin got the tickets for tonights game. That sucks!

I want that ticket so bad, here I am watching football with Barney while munching popcorn.

My adrenalin is pumping it's 2nd Quarter and we're still stuck at 7 points. Barney's enjoying the game too. He's just sitting beside me all this time glued to the tv. I hope the Cardinals will not kick our hometown boys to the curb. Back to the game will post again later.

It's a big disappointment tonight. After so many interceptions and turnovers the result was a big dismay. We got smoldered by the Cardinals. I heard our neighbors were all pouting like me. It's not a good sign come Monday morning at the office it will be an endless piece of conversation. I can't wait. Grrrrrrrrrr grrrrrrr!

I'm officially a Carolina Panthers Fan!

I won two tickets at work for the Carolina Panthers vs. the Washington Redskins pre-season game.

I'm not a big fan of football but I know my husband's son-in-law is a big Panthers fan and so as his sons Colby and Colton. He was salivating for that ticket unfortunately I want to go for the experience and out of curiosity. Everyone at work talks about it, Toby, Colby and Colton are addicted so I want to go and have a first hand experience of how the game is being played at the stadium.

So last saturday we went to the game. My ever supportive husband took me to the game. Miles away from the arena was bumper to bumper traffic. We got to find a parking space a mile away from the stadium. Boy it was craaaaaaaaazy, as soon as we parked our car, the parking lot was packed with tailgaters. I found it fascinating from the tailgaters party, the cheering crowd (oh yes it's a hometown crowd the Redskins were totally outnumbered), the scalpers (I thought it was only in the Philippines), the fans who are all enthusiastic from kids to fathers, mothers, grandparents, people from all walks of life. It was truly a good family form of entertainment. No wonder NFL is a multi-million dollar industry.

Walking to our ticket seats (took us 30 mins walk) was exciting with all the cheering crowd, the crazy fans went wild everytime their team scores it was pandemonium. I was so amazed me. It got me hook. The moment I stepped into the big arena and blend in with the hometown "Panthers" crowd I knew it's gonna be the start for me. I am now officially a Panthers diehard. Oh we won by a big margin 43-7. I couldn't be so happy.
