Not bad...

I was getting a beer at the time and missed it.

Cannons... fire them.

Indeed

can you imagine being in the bathroow when Spurlock made his 2007 house call against Atlanta? That would’ve been awful!

I have a funny (sort of) story about that game.

My parents, my wife and I were heading to the game. We got all the way there and I realized I didnt have the tickets (D’oh!). We live about 30-40 minutes from the stadium so we had to drive back home to get them and head back. I made the remark, “Man, I hope the Bucs don’t return the opening kickoff for a TD. I’ll never forgive myself” So we drove home, got them, and got to the game about 10 minutes before kickoff. No, the Bucs didn’t take back the opening kickoff, but Spurlock didn’t disappoint.

I was so pumped (like everyone else who saw it) but all we could talk about was how I almost made us miss it. So now, before every game, we have a ticket check and someone asks me, so what might we miss today if you forget the tickets.

I am so paranoid about missing anything

I don’t even go to the bathroom during the games and I never take advantage of my free soda refill either. I don’t leave my seat once I’m there and I’m usually there 30-60 minutes before kickoff.

Thats pretty cool!

That wasnt that far into the game if I remember right…we had the Barber pick 6, then they got 3, and it was that kickoff we returned.

I was on the far end of the stadium from the score, but just to the left of where he caught the ball. I wasnt that high, just top of the 100 level, but high enough to see him go around the corner and realize this could be it.

Everyone one around me became instant family. Hugging strangers, thats what that kick off TD did!
