Just returned from Also-Ran Bowl Metro New York #1:
Packers beat Jets in OT, 44-38 - YES. So about a third of the fans today were wearing green and gold. Including the first people we ran into, from Westchester, NY with extended fam and kids in Packer attire, who comped me their last Usinger's brat. Packer Nation travels well. The most important play of the game was the OT coin toss, which went to ARod. Game over.
Also-Ran Bowl Metro NY #2 is played Wednesday at Yankee Stadium. As of now we're not going. None of this stuff is cheap. Love to pray there, not to play there. The Pinstripe Bowl - Badgers v. Miami Hurricanes. Badgers are going to romp. That's what Badgers do. Maybe we'll head up there.
