Stanford vs USC
Jay has been waiting for this game. He loves USC and will not let go of the chance to see this game with Stanford.
We arrived pretty early--thinking that we might hit traffic and have a hard time parking. But it turned out that everything was well organized. We picked up our tickets at the booth, waited for few minutes for the gates to open and that was it! Our seats were not the best one---we were at the sunny goal (as it is called). And it was indeed SUNNY! But we love the stadium--it was clean and seats were comfortable. We heard that the game was sold out, but at 4:20 and the game is at 5:00, the stadium was pretty empty!So we waited and people started to come in. Then it was just like 15 minutes before the game and we were getting excited.
5 minutes before and we sang the national anthem---and what made it different from any other occasion that I will be singing the Star Spangled Banner? Well, 3 jets came flying by....I was impressed!
So the game started...We were all hyped up. Jay was so seriously watching and will not even budge. USC made the first touchdown and then Stanford came back--yay! About an hour to the game, a older man rooting for Stanford stood up and started fighting with a USC fan. I was worried that both men will get into it. I mean, they were into each other throat and I won't be surprised if one punches one in the face. Yipes! Luckily, they both settled down! phew!
The game was really getting exciting. It wasn't any of those boring games. I was at the edge of my seat majority of the times. I am not a football guru or fanatic, but I know a little bit to keep me glued to the game.
Stanford made another touchdown---yay! BUT missed the field goal! Seriously? My worries started to come down on me--if USC makes another touchdown and NOT miss the field goal --- they might win this game. It was already like the 4th quarter for goodness sake!
And true enough, USC made another touchdown and made the field goal. Unbelievable! With 1 minute left in the game, how can Stanford score? Literally, they have to run and cross the 50 yard line to at least make a field goal--and how? with 1 minute remaining, that is really close to impossible.
BUT, i was wrong..It wasn't at all impossible. Stanford was able to do it. With a very wise coach and QB, at 4 seconds before the game is over, Stanford will make a field goal....AND YES!!!!! Stanford made another 3 points--YAHOO!
Best game ever! The game finished at 37-35
That was a great game even though USC lost! I was literally biting my nails and sitting at the very edge of the seat! I knew that Stanford had a chance despite the 1 minute remaining of the ball game.
ReplyDeleteSee hon, you have to take my consideration that for games like these the opposing team still has a chance to win! Whether it be 30 seconds or 3 minutes left in the ball game, as long as any sport team team manages the time wisely, chances are they will win.
Curse those kids behind us for shouting putting trash underneath our seat! Not too mention the autistic kid right beside me for acting crazy!!! No, I'm not prejudised or racist!
