Today Don and I ventured out to watch American College football. We’d had fun last year at the CAL v Hawaii game and given Stanford were playing this time, we dropped a bunch of cash on tickets and dusted off Don’s well used and very grody Stanford caps.
Stanford were playing Rice (yeah, I had no idea who they were either). But I’m highly entertained by the idea of Rice Owls.
Given that I have no idea of the intricacies of American football, I took the zoom lens along to entertain myself. I should do this more often and wish I’d thought of it for the local baseball.
And I just had to include the very excellent mullet rocked by one of the Rice players!
Stanford absolutely ran away with it 62-7.
The weather was gorgeous and we had a very nice time, but I’m still no closer to understanding quite how the game works!
Rice is a great school and very highly regarded. Also considered very geeky, would not be surprising that they suck at football.
They were quite terrible – and doubtless had other things on their minds too!
Everyone stood and cheered when they scored their very late touchdown.
