(postblog) Popped my Cherry

It has been a year of firsts when it comes to professional sports for me. First my first NBA game, and now...my first NFL game. Joel and I had ventured up here to the bay area for one real reason...to go see the Colts play the Raiders and thats what we did. The game wasn't extremely eventful by any means but it was still an enjoyable experience. We did some tailgating before hand with some chicken & Apple Sausages and some garlic bread. Ya, thats right, garlic bread at a tailgate...heres an easy way to make it:

• Take a slice of Sourdough bread (your favorite bread will do as well) and generously spread margarine (more spreadable than butter) across.
• Take a scoop or two of minced garlic and spread across liberally.
  
• Place bread garlic side up directly on grill
• Allow to cook until slightly golden brown (bread can cook extremely fast depending on your fire, make sure it doesn't burn)
  
• Remove bread from heat and allow to cool
• Enjoy

Our seats to the game were pretty good, angled to the goal line about 30 rows up, 1st tier. They weren't right next to the field but hey no complaints here. Getting home on the other hand...quite the opposite. Of the 62,000 people there, about 20,000 had to take the BART. It took a good 30minutes to walk a total of 100 feet to get to the BART.

On the way to the game I saw this and thought it was pretty funny so I took a picture of it. Enjoy.
