My First Football Game

Last Saturday, I went to my first US football game. No lah! Not our Singapore football/soccer. American Football! This was my first game since I got here in 2000. Free ticket, ride and dinner from my boss along with his guests: staff, faculty and department board members. More than 100,000 people in the stadium watched our University of Michigan Wolverines play against the Iowa Hawkeyes. The energy and volume of cheering was incredible! Our team beat Iowa 20-6. It was really, really tiring though. Slept almost all the way until noon on Sunday.

    reminds me of the days when ronald and I went to watch Malaysia Cup matches at the National Stadium. Really enjoyable. Haven't been to one for a long long time. Maybe when the boys are older, it will be one of our family activities.

  3. the first half was quite slow.. then the action sped up and our team scored 20 points in a row.. but then 6 points per "touch down", 1 point per "punt", 3 points for something else i can't remember.. ^_-.. the rules were many and confusing..

    i saw quite a few families there and the kids look like they weren't more than 7 or 8 years old.. teach them when they're young :-)
