My fiance and I spent the last week in Cabo San Lucas, and it was fantastic. So wonderful to feel 80 degrees again. We watched exactly one sporting event the entire week...hey, if we wanted to watch TV, we would have stayed home!
We saw some scores of other games, but I didn't even find out the Jets beat the Colts until mid-week. I still don't know many of the particulars of that game or the Jet-Bengal game (or any NFL game of the last two weeks for that matter), but suffice to say the Colts were obviously afraid of the Big Bad Jets defense!!!
We got home really late last night. What the heck is going on with college football coaches while I was gone!?!
Anyway, the one game we did go down to the beach bar at the resort for was, of course, the Rose Bowl. It took the bartender some time to find the game, and we actually missed the opening kickoff and I think the first play or two from scrimmage.
The first play I remember was Terrelle Pryor running like 20 yards for a first down...and it looked like he was limping...what?!?!?!? We could not hear the announcers, but they showed the replay more than once so I'm assuming it was at least a minor issue.
Through approximately the first quarter and a half we were the only ones watching the game, nobody else in the bar was even watching TV, I don't think. Lots of people were looking at us, though, because I was going through my usual histrionics (yelling, cheering, moaning) of a Buckeye game...the ones that make one of my dogs hide under my bed until I calm down!
During the second quarter a bunch of college kids from Australia sit next to us, and my fiance is talking to them, explaining the rules for the most part, while I'm still glued to the action. Eventually they get caught up in the game too, following my lead, and now it's us and a bunch of Australians (mostly boys) rooting for the Buckeyes...and now they're just as loud as me! (the tequila seemed to take effect quickly for them
)
At halftime I see them mingling through the bar, and as the second half starts every TV at the beach bar (about 8-10 of them) is now tuned to the Rose Bowl...and it seems like most eveyone is paying attention. The Australian guys are whooping and hollering over every play (and not always at the right time!), and they're getting everyone else into it as well.
By the time the game finally ends the bar is packed (the game ended at about 6:450 local time), and the whole place is cheering the Buckeyes' victory. One of the bartenders comes up and asks me senorita or senora. For a second we're wondering what the heck is going on, but I point to my ring and say 'senorita then senora', and then we hear an announcement...Congratulations to the senorita from Ohio! HAHAHAHA. No correction, for one night I was the senorita from Ohio.
My fiance gets along so well with these guys they talk us into going to Cerritos Beach (Pacific Ocean side, about a half hour north of Cabo) with them on Saturday to surf...my first time surfing in a year and half. Did not surf at all this past summer. Luckily they flew home Sunday morning, so for one more day we could get back to the real reason we went to Cabo!!!
My fiance said the real reason the Buckeyes finally won an out of conference game is because I watched it in a bikini...albeit with a wrap.
I'll put my notes regarding what I remember of the game in the bowl thread.
