My Date With My Other Man...

This is my Bro. He called me and asked me out to a Real Salt Lake Game, and for those who have not been, it was by far the funnest sporting event I have EVER been to. It was great!
THANKS IAN!!!

This is the two teams lined up. They played the team from New York. It was the Western conference finals. We lost but it was still awesome. People would throw toilet paper, streamers, smoke bombs you name it down onto the opposing team ALL the time. they even pegged a few in the noggin. Apparently that is the thing to do. People are playing drums everywhere chanting, singing, etc. The Latinos make it the best though I have to say. We had a few around us and they had made these huge noise makers that you wind up and then spin around. They know how its done!
The half time show was a marching band ( and yes they are still around if you can believe it!) It was decent. But the game was the highlight. Here is why I think it was great:
there are 2 45 min half with a 25 min half time
during those 45 min the clock never stops. So its truly 45 min. Now if there is an injury or something they just play for few extra min at the end.
There is something always going on weather in the stands or on the field.
Even though they are low scoring games it is so intense to see them set up for a shot on goal.
I couldn't believe how much I got into it.
I think my brother was laughing at me alot because I was so involved in the game.
When they would miss my heart would hurt a bit. Great game loved it.
