So who's with me for #Sportsball tonight?
What's your set-up for game time?
Drinks? Snacks? Company? Vuvuzelas?
@MLClark Will they show cartoons and previews of coming attractions?
They SHOULD have, with this hour-and-fifteen delay!
@BillyBones @LiseL @cmskiera @Boyceaz
THIS IS NO TIME FOR ORDINARY BIOLOGY, BILLY. DREAMS ARE ON THE LINE. 🤣
😁 How generous Billy! Thank you for the "assist"!
@BillyBones @LiseL @cmskiera @Boyceaz
We picked up two more ladies.
We are all clinging together and NUTS. 😅
@MLClark ohhhhhhh! 😔 @BillyBones @cmskiera @Boyceaz
@BillyBones 👍 @MLClark @cmskiera @Boyceaz
What a wild ride! I don't know about the players, but I'm exhausted!
@LiseL @BillyBones @MLClark @cmskiera I just hope I get power back eventually.
@LiseL @BillyBones @cmskiera @Boyceaz
The energy just fell right out of the event. The announcer's trying to cheer everyone up with second place, but alas.
This was closer than I thought it would be!

The air went SO still at that goal. No one even moaned loudly, the way that folks did at various slings and arrows earlier on.
It was just this sudden mass sinking feeling - all the energy and excitement suddenly lost - and a collective silence for those who stayed to see the rest of the game. Many immediately picked up, though, and headed home.
@MLClark @BillyBones @cmskiera @Boyceaz
That's the game. But to be in a massive crowd when it happens: that's something else.

I love how the photographer captured the young woman looking almost like a Madonna figure...
@MLClark I lost mine a while ago!
Riiiight. "Lost" yours. 😅
@MLClark That, or my spouse "lost" it for me. :D
@LiseL @cmskiera @Boyceaz
And the overall vibe before gametime...
