that was just awesome. My best friend and I went back to the same bar in Chi-town that we watched the Niners game only tonight it was PACKED. We were on cloud nine throughout the first half, until we gave up the TD right before the half, and at that point, both of us had that sinking feeling. Cue up the second half, an interception, a Hags TD, a bad penalty and another TD and the lead gone, and I was seriously considering how LUCKY I was that I would be working the next three Sundays.
Then, tied at 20, the Hawks have the ball at our 40 and we look like dead ducks again and what happens? Sll of a sudden, the GIN BLOSSOMS come over the loud speaker. My friend, the most notorious jinx of all time says: It's the Gin Blossoms! Come on. That's too random for something good not to happen for us here!" I shake my head at him, then decide what the hell - I downed the rest of my beer, yelled out Gin Blossoms KOC! And lo and behold - FUMBLE!
We nailed the FG and my buddy went to take a leak, and upon getting into the bathroom, he heard: Holy ^5$t - did you see that Cardinal Guy (me) going crazy in there? He walked out, we watched the KO, saw the second tick away and walked out like we won the Super Bowl, leaving to a row of high fives.
Great, great, great win. We looked like an NFL team that blew a game last week,but even though this game wasn't perfect, we beat a good team, when normally we would have crumbled.
THAT'S PROGRESS!
Super, super, super high right now. Good job team.
And holy crap - I'd like to buy Russ Grimm a keg - dude's deserving of much more than just a beer at this point!
LET'S GO CARDS!
