(three hours left to make predictions on the most hallowed of American secular holidays)
Rams by 17.

Patriots.
Posted by Malnurtured Snay (Member # 411) on :
The Ravens are going to storm the stadium and kick both teams' asses.
OTOH, I'm going to go with the Patriots.

C'mon, people, point spreads. Posted by Jeff Raven (Member # 20) on :
Too funny about the Ravens, JK Their last game was kinda typical, don't you think?
And The patriots by 7.

There wasn't enough pre-game stuff to make an accurate prediction.
Posted by The_Tom (Member # 38) on :
I object! My original prediction was based on the assumption that an altogether different St. Louis Rams team would be playing. Those fools in white, gold and blue on TV right now are clearly imposters.

EAGLES! Oh damn. too late.
Posted by Siegfried (Member # 29) on :
Oh, is the Superbowl today?
I really don't care for football (which is surprising since I spent six years in marching band), so I don't know anything about either team. All I know is that the Rams are (were, now) the favored victor. Since I always go for the underdog in this championship games, I'm cheering for the Patriots as I watch Star Trek IV and V on TNN.

Won't they cast you out of the holy land of Texas for blaspheming like that, Sieggy?
Posted by Obese Penguin (Member # 271) on :
Pats Win.

"I really don't care for football (which is surprising since I spent six years in marching band)"
Your logic does not resemble our Earth logic.
Posted by Jeff Raven (Member # 20) on :
Was there any doubt of their victory? Not here in Buffalo.
Posted by The_Tom (Member # 38) on :
There was rather intense doubt in Vegas, Jeff, where the bookies were predicting a Rams cakewalk.
Posted by Siegfried (Member # 29) on :
Yeah, it does, Liam. I spent six years in the marching band. By participating thusly, I sat through 41 football games in high school and 12 in college. One of those games was a professional football game, the Oilers vs. Steelers in 1993. One would assume that I would at least develop some appreciation for the sport after being subjected to 53 football games. However, I did not (which is surprising since I actually watched 53 football games).

Ah, gotcha. Originally it made as much sense to me as "I'm not really a fan of chloronic irigation, which is strange as I'm in a jazz band".
Posted by Vogon Poet (Member # 393) on :
Colonic irrigation. Oh shit, what am I saying? The spirit of Tim has entered me. Unclean! Unclean!
Posted by TSN (Member # 31) on :
Now, hang on a moment... My spirit may go a lot of places, but colonic irrigation is not one of them. Though I'll admit that it is unclean. The subject I mean, not my spirit.

Ya know, I set my VCR to record the entire Super Bowl.
Just to watch U2 play at the Halftime show. Their dedication to September 11 was, how you say, sweet?
I must be bordering on Fanatical. I didn't watch a single minute of the game, save the last field goal.
Posted by The_Tom (Member # 38) on :
Thought the sound quality could have been better. And considering the date, one would have assumed a certain song would have been played, yet it ultimately wasn't.
Posted by Grokca (Member # 722) on :
Skipped the 1/2 time(can't stand U2) watched playmates on fear factor instead, and listened to SRV.
Posted by Tahna Los (Member # 33) on :
Which one were you thinking, Tom?
And yes, I was thinking that "Where the Streets have no name" was not the best choice, but a decent one at best. I was thinking "Walk On" would have been more appropriate.

Speaking of U2 and fanaticism, when they had a concert in Los Angeles, a friend of mine camped outside for two days so she could stand in front of the stage.
Posted by Obese Penguin (Member # 271) on :
I think it was a great show, U2 is the best band in the world these days IMO and that towering news paper column was great.

You know, that's the best way to watch. All the suspense with none of the boring.

January 30 1972.
Posted by Vogon Poet (Member # 393) on :
U2 can do strange things to you. I saw them at Wembley in 1997, and everyone who see them live comes out thinking Bono is God.
Then just before the New Year I watched a concert of theirs in Boston, and suddenly got the urge to bleach my hair. I kid you not.
Posted by Tahna Los (Member # 33) on :
I honestly don't think that Sunday Bloody Sunday would have been appropriate, especially for the Non-U2 Fans out there who are likely to take things word for word.
"Walk On" was dedicated for Aung San Suu Kyi, a peace activist in Burma. Given that it is from U2's newest album, it would have been more suitable.

Well, if not "Sunday Bloody Sunday", how about "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath"? :-)
