football of the american variety

so im getting quite excited about the forthcoming trip (tomorrow) to watch the giants v dolphins. having visited new york and not miami i feel i must support the giants even if normally i tend to root for the underdog.

so as part of the game festivities we (margo and i) are having an american day which i think im correct in saying involves pancakes in the morning time and root beer floats at some point - margo spent $10 on a bottle of root beer in what i would describe as an american/chinese candy store just off leicester square. margo is also hoping for hotdogs at the game but i doubt (though i may be proved wrong) they will have them.

sounds quite boring but im also looking forward to checking out the stadium!

so importantly i'm going to try and remember the rules that brian and aaron taught me back in portland - this combined with margo who will probably not like me after the game due to the number of questions i will ask should give me a reasonable understanding of the goings on!

Margo? Bothered by too many questions?? That's my girl!

Oh yes, today the Beavs beat Stanford, who previously beat USC, and today the Ducks beat USC (allegedly #9 in the country). Go figure - polls are strange.

Enjoy the game! I hope they sell beer and peanuts in addition to hot dogs, and popcorn and ice cream. And wear team colors.

Hmmm, sorry it was such a crappy game! Not all American football is like that...

So i had good time at the game there were hot dogs/ beer (danish) / burgers / popcorn / sweets/ nuts / all avaible in the concourse around the stadium. We had some beers and a hotdog each!

I dont think the pitch stood up very well - even with the rain (i think.

stadium was cool - seats could of been better...though lots of leg room like more than a cross atlantic plane!

Game im guessing could of been better quality...but everyone enjoyed it - the pre show was good, half time ok i dont think we do marching bands over here apart from the army!
